You are one stupid dago. You do realize that the anglo saxon race is the one that kept it's blood lines pure in the new world, while the spaniards slept with every red injun they could find and made all these mongrel mestizo nations, don't you?

I agree, they're some of the nicest folks around.  And they seem pretty hardy too.  They'd have to be considering the ins and outs of their heritage and all the struggles they've faced.\n\n\nMore details:\n\nI think I stumbled across something here I didn't know anything about.  I was commenting more on the historical sense of things.  But this is all hilarious good fun and makes me like the Welsh, and all the rest of you even more.  And yeah, I'm an American girl who has no idea about some of your cultural frames of reference but hey, I'm still enjoying this!  :))))

Well to tell you the truth I really disagree with both terms. I don't agree with them because they both neglect our indigenous background. Both terms are Eurocentric and where implemented by the U.S. So if you really think about it we have been label as either Latin Euro or Spanish but many of us are Mestizos and we must take into consideration the indigenous blood in us. I guess the moral of the story is that individuals should not be labeled to the convenience of others. Instead take into consideration your self identity and what really encompasses who you are and remember that individuals should also know why you are Hispanic, Latino, or Chicano.

It's not just America fighting the war, we had the bus and tube bombings in London, but our fight started long before that. Spain have also suffered as have many other countries.\nIt's not just Americans against the terrorists it all of us.\n\nDo I think we're winning? It's voting time soon where I live and the only candidates standing are Asian. I went to the shops wearing an 'I Love NY' t-shirt and got spat at; no I don't think we're winning.

Easy. The US is called a 'melting pot' by some people. And seriously hayleylov you actually expect someone to abandon their language and culture to become a 'true' American as you say? Well, I sure as hell would NEVER and will NEVER do that. I speak Spanish and all my American friends want to learn it. And it'll NEVER stop happening, as the US is growing every day.

You have to be serious: we Latin Americans are the victims of Spanish colonialism, internal strife, etc., but we were never the victims of American slavery.  We will never ask for "reparations".

you are not making any sense at all...first you ask about what makes the US (or Mexico or South America, or all of them together) so great, then you talk about WWII and Nazis and Marines, what are you saying?

No, but you may be more curious in the future. I'm not Mexican, but LOVE the culture. Enjoy being an American.

I definitely do.  European history is so profound in comparison to the 200+ years the US has been in existence.  therefore the European cultures have deep roots.  I especially adore the rich history of the Mediterranian and am proud that I share the bloodlines of those civilizations.

I am a third generation "Legal" Hispanic. I don't agree with the reasons for the rallies being held.  So I will go shopping and support my country!

I've met Latinos who are of African ancestry;some of them are way darker than me and I'm African-American.  People don't seem to realize that the African slave trade didn't just exist here in the States; the slaves were also taken to Mexico, Central America, parts of South America and the Caribbean.  Unfortunately, people can be very ignorant.  Try to drop some knowledge on them when they ask stupid questions.

Really up on your history, aren't you?\n\nThe Spanish stole land from the native Americans, the Mexicans stole land from the Spanish, and the Texans stole land from the Mexicans.\n\nSo, what do you consider "sad?"\n\nIt's sad a bunch of drunks, gamblers and drifters who got trapped in the Alamo (because they were drunk) have attained hero status. \n\nBut, they did give the Texican thieves a rallying cry against the Mexican thieves.\n\nMexicans have no more claim to land in N. America than does anyone else, they weren't the original inhabitants and never had a legitimate claim to the land.\n\nAnd still don't.
