It is Not a race.  It was a made up word from the 1970's.  Specifically by a Mexican-American Professor at Berkley.  Much like many of the phrase's "invented by the Politically correct","I wonder what ever happened to Donna Shalayla?"  It also has a great deal in common with words invented by Politically Correct movements in the Late 1930's and early 1940.  As well as the Late Victorian early Edwardian. Gentille Speak.  Popular with the Pompous around the turn of the 19th and 20th century.

There are many different ways to use the word "Race".  You could be describing the Human Race, or something as defined as the specific breed of person or animal.\n\nRace is described as follows:\n\nA local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.\nA group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race.\nA genealogical line; a lineage.\nHumans considered as a group.\nBiology. \nAn interbreeding, usually geographically isolated population of organisms differing from other populations of the same species in the frequency of hereditary traits. A race that has been given formal taxonomic recognition is known as a subspecies.\nA breed or strain, as of domestic animals.\nA distinguishing or characteristic quality, such as the flavor of a wine.

Latino refers loosely to any person having Latin American background and living in the U.S.  \n\nHispanic refers to persons whose ancestry hails either from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America, or the original settlers of the traditionally Spanish-held Southwestern United States. There are those that do not like this term and find it offensive, thus they use a different label such as Latino or Puerto Rican or other such term. \n\nSpanish usually means anyone who is of Spanish heritage regardless of the country or region. \n\nSo, a person from Spain can be Spanish or Hispanic, but NOT Latino. A Puerto Rican is Hispanic or Spanish, but usually takes offense to Latino eve though they are from a Latin speaking country. \n\nI hope this helps.

None of you are white! You Spaniards, Italians and Greeks are all brown, brown, brown!\n\nAnd, you, a Spaniard touting your "whiteness?" PLEASE! Look at your Moorish ancestors and say that again!\n\nSpain is not white. Maybe in its own eyes only!

If you mean "hispanic" from Puerto Rico, Mexico, Dominican, etc., it's a result of the slave trade. There are enclaves of blacks in Mexico, for example, who were brought over during the slave trade and left there. Eventually blacks and hispanics intermingles and mixed and you get some of the people you see today.\n\nThere is a Mexican Museum of Fine Arts here in Chicago that is currently running an exhibit about the African presence in Mexico.\n\nhttp://www.mfacmchicago.org/

That person is a LATINO because portuguese is a Latin lenguage, same way with spanish and italian.\nA Brazilian person cannot be Hispanic, because Hispanic people come frome countries whose lenguage is Spanish.\n\nIt dosent matter if you are Palestinian, Black, White, Yellow or Blue, you are still a Latino

Puerto Rican, you determine the race of the child from the father. I'm Hispanic and my sons father is white, so my son is considered white.

I do not hate any race.  I do not like a few people of different races but not the whole in tire race.  I'm not sure where you're getting your information from but it doesn't sound like it is completely accurate.  There are some people that hate everyone because they are ignorant but that is only the few.  Most people are caring and understanding of all races, creed etc.  I am not Mexican but my ex husband is Hispanic and so are my children.  I love them dearly.  I still have a good relationship with my ex husbands family.  I still consider them as my family.  Maybe you should look into this matter more.  I'm sure that you will find that the majority of people do not dislike the Mexican race.

Not everyone mixes races. But sometimes you happen to meet someone and see past the race thing.

Cubans of Puerto Ricans.... well, first of all its the same race but different nationality.  Basically all the hispanic race has  alot of the same values and beliefs.  Depends on where u live and how u grew up that determines your tastes or  wants in life.   I've dated a puerto rican girl, and she was nice enough, Im engaged to a Cuban girl and she's just as nice to me. I notice alot of similiraties on their costumes and beliefs, they dont differ from my mexican ones.  Latinos are 1 in the same.

Mexican is not a race.  My friend is Mexican, she is white hispanic.  When she came to the USA she was shocked that she could be considered anything else than palin white.   She found it humiliating to be considered anything other than white and said that Americans were racists for classifyng her as something other than white.  I thought that it was rather racist to consider it humiliating to be considered anything other than white and I told her so.
