Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

At this point it’s too late with how US Latinos identify “latino” as its own race after years of it being treated like one.
Tbf we don’t really call ourselves Latino in our countries either. In Guatemala we have Ladino in place of mestizo and other countries have their own names while others use mestizo. But for the most part we say our country of origin when speaking to each other Latin Americans.
It’s a legacy of how the Spanish did colonialism versus how the British did it. The British were much more hardline about interbreeding with the natives and the imported slaves, one drop rules about European purity. Whereas the Spanish, while brutal in their own way, didn’t have the same hang ups. So fast forward a few centuries, people start migrating up from Latin America to the U.S., Amerikkkans didn’t know to process a population that didn’t have that sort of strict racial categorizing. So everyone from a 95% Spaniard Puerto Rican to a Chicano gets flattened to “Latino.”
