Is Latina/Latino a race? Sounds more like a geographic term to me.

My nephew married a girl from Lima, Peru. Her birth family has now relocated to Florida - legally! They consider themselves to be Latina/Latino - but definitely not people of color. Their heritage is European - Spanish to be specific.

I love my AOC, I love my AOC. I’m going to build a shrine to her, and every morning get on my knees and worship it and thank the lord for the gift of AOC. Tell us AOC, besides a racist, what else is Nancy Pelosi?

“Racist” is all they’ve had for fifty years - every time an issue comes along that’s too complicated or sensitive for them to deal with, they try to get beyond it by yelling racist and making their opponent shut up and back down - when they have to start using the tactic on those in their own party like Pelosi and Biden, the game’s about up......

I don’t think it is a race. Latino just refers to someone who is from Latin America, Hispanic means Spaniards. Just because they are dark doesn’t mean they are a race anymore than Sicilians are a race.

I looked it up. It’s not a race, it’s an ethnicity.

“Race refers to a person’s physical characteristics, such as bone structure and skin, hair, or eye color. Ethnicity, however, refers to cultural factors, including nationality, regional culture, ancestry, and language.”

Repeatedly.

Some people just really hold on to their ethnic background if it’s perceived advantageous.

My wife is 25% Chippewa Native American. Ask her if she’s native though and she’ll just laugh and say she’s just a rural North Dakota country girl. Which she is. (The rest is pretty much just salty Norwegian.)

I’m sure millennials will be scratching their heads at your metaphor. They probably think of Robespierre as a male version of Victoria’s Secret.

I was in a local Smoothie King yesterday, and the song being played was Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind, and Fire. No one had ever heard of EWF, which I found shocking.

Dems only care when it is a Dem being attacked with the Race Card by other Dems

The dem party has only begun to reap what it has sown.

Hillary’s Treason thing will, despite being about major crimes, will also precipitate a Watergate Tsunami like ‘Coverup’ conspiracy event/prosecution that hopefully will ALL show how that party colluded/conspired to cover up treason committed by clinton.
