First of all, there is no such thing as A HISPANIC. Hispanic is a totally made up ‘people’ exactly the same way palestinians, who, BTW trained la raza, (MeCha,) are a totally made up ‘people’. It’s a WORD they coined to include ALL spanish speaking peoples under their banner who they claimed, but who never asked to be included. They folded in Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and anyone from Central and South America and all the islands in between.
That’s why they could care less what a rubio says or a Puerto Rican, (who they consider trash,) says.
For lack of a better word is why the term was made up-I suppose that technically it is all of us who are descended from those who came from Spain to the new world after around 1500 AD.
That most of our ancestors became racially and/or ethnically mixed once they arrived there, especially with the indigenous Native Americans-also makes us different from old world Spaniards.
“American” is my nationality-any ethnic connections come after that...
