I’ve identified as Latina since I was three. That,of course,would make me one. In fact,I’ve had my birth certificate changed.

Anyone screwed because they don’t self-identify as anything other than American...?

The left cares about appropriation?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
All things considered, it's better to be a member of a minority in America today than not to be one, or claims regarding minority status would never be controversial.

Latino is an ethnic not genetic classification. Anyone can be Latino, from blonde blue eyed pale f
Skins to charcoal black and everything in between.
Being English or French is the same. Idris Elba is an Englishman just as much as Daniel Craig. Sarkozy’s, zidane, etc, are all French.
The USA needs to move to economic classification to level opportunities.

Here’s a better. Identify as American. The left created these “identities” to divide the country and destroy it. It’s working.
It’s wrong to ask one’s “identity” on census forms and applications of any kind.
American!

Ethnically my wife and kids are moreno Latinos/as. Practically they are conservative Trump supporting American patriots.
How does that race divide BS taste right now, lefties?

Yep.
Can’t say I’ve ever met someone faking German, English, Jewish,* or Irish.

Italians have a much better claim to “Latino” (from latin, the language of Rome) than some mestizos.

Exactly. If you are an American citizen, you are American. The only ones that want people separated by groups are the ones that want to create distrust between the groups.

Reading a book on people who are born in 1 country but raised in another, they had a general formula of how people will identify. When you ask someone, “where do you consider home?” People will generally choose the place where they spent the majority of years between ages 11-18 (maybe 12-18). My wife was born in the US but her parents were missionaries in South America. You ask her where is home, she says she is Latin and from Ecuador. Other Latinos even recognize her as more Latin and US American. But outwardly she is white with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Does her Italian ancestors who spoke Latin qualify her as a Latinx?
