RE: I am not Latino nor Hispanic. I want my racial and cultural identity to be respected
Good points in regards to the differences between all our groups, and the absence of focus on indigenous, African and other elements of the widely varied cultures. Still since he has particular political goals in mind he needs to rethink a wholesale rejection of these labels. Except for Mexicans no single one of the groups under the umbrella will have the numbers anytime soon to be effective political forces. By spreading some sense of Latino belonging, even a muted sense tertiary to their identity of origin and race, you encourage growth of a loose voting bloc at least for those particular issues he would like to see addressed. If Latins were southern Europeans what is the issue in appropriating LatinOs to mean southern Americans?

I refuse to be labeled Hispanic.
That term was used by Mexicans in the US to try to suck some of the political clout of Cuban Americans.
I do not fit any of their demographic.

La Raza can kiss my Cuban/Spanish/Italian ass.

I rather be called Latino or Hispanic than "BROWN" Hate that fucking term, its widely use in politics and soon in hollywood, which means it will be used by everyone within a couple of years... Let's not let America's "Black N White" issue force itself on us immigrants from the western hemisphere.

Kiss my Brown ass.... LOL

I second that, I am not brown. I am an ethnicity. I have a culture, I have a language and heritage. I am not BROWN. I hate when people say I am to light to be Dominican. Even thou I am no where near a white Dominican.

Muchos Cubanos dicen que son Europeo, oseas Italiano Ingleses, suiso,aleman, espanol pero siempre omiten el negro. Why? In latin america and the caribbean European whites are the minority, except in Argentina. si son de espana son del norte donde lo morros no llegaron.
