:iamwiths:

 

people from spain are white?

 

Only the gringos.

 

That doesn't mean they can't be white. Hispanic is by no means a race. The overwhelming majority of hispanics in argentina are white. Just like most of the hispanic boxers coming from cuba are black.

 

threadstarter sounds like a racist **** to me. :!:

 

There is no such thing as European White.

 

Hispanics are another cultural label we've somehow morphed into race. They are the blendings of African, European, and Native American heritages south of the Rio Grande thanks to Spanish and Portuguese colonalism. I mean look at Saul Alvarez and Yuriokis Gamboa. You look at them and think white and black until you hear their names and suddenly their Hispanic. People do this Jews too.

 

Not all Spaniards are 100% white. The Moors ruled the country for many centuries and they had kids with the locals. That's why a lot of spaniards have dark skin. A lot of them even look like arabs.

 

:deal I think the term Hispanic should be dropped. Its a stupid label and has Hispanics thinking they are a race.

Its quite funny when I ask a Hispanic person what race they are and they ignorantly reply that they are "Hispanic"

 

You couldn't tell just by looking at him?

 

Finally, a thread on ESB about race!

 

Wow.
