You have no idea how much this pisses me off.
Unless you are in the US... where if you speak spanish you are a brown mexican no matter what. Thanks Obama?
There is a huge portion of “hispanic” that are direct descendant of southern european settlers in the Americas. But in the US you get labeled hispanic no mattwr what if you have a spanish name. It would be like calling english settlers descendants in the US a separate race from their european forefathers.
I am white with spanish name and my first language is spanish. In the US i’m “hispanic” / “latino”, everywhere else i’m just white. Part of the democrats plan to throw everyone in the same basket.
By their logic ... absolutely fucking YES.
Uhh? What about we don’t judge the guy by our current morality. I am cuban so i will admit i am super biased toward the guy since he is our founder. But can you out yourself in his shoes? What would a native american would have looked like to this guy? Even after that the spanish tried everything they could to convert and integrate these natives before they resorted to culling.
By the time they got to mexico it was a whole different story and unlike the Caribbean they found a whole functioning empire that was much more of an oppressor than the Spanish ever were.
Context matters.
This is not the 18th century... there was no internet or mass instantaneous communication. The brits didnt have a propaganda media machine that could blast crap 24/7 to every single person. The country was fairly homogeneous in all aspects. The moral road will only lead us to ruin.
There is a reason i say Pinochet was a hero... that is what is required now. Communism must be utterly crushed, anything less than that and the war will be lost before even the first shot is fired.
So can we Crown Trump Emperor already or we still clinging to the 18th century morals?
They are effectively rewriting history before our very eyes. The goal is clear start from the past and move to the present, until all of history has been mutilated to resemble one of their own making.
Fair enough.
What you call hispanics dont like conquistadors. I am cuban though and Along Cristopher Columbus they are basically our founding fathers. Ironically i’m in the process of moving to Albuquerque for work... what a shit show.
The conquistadors are my people... at least someone is standing up for them!
You could always put hispanic and they would have no way to call you out. Unlike the other options, that one is not s race.
Doesnt matter how we identify ourselves... what matters is how we are perceived.
Unless you are in the US and you are just brown. Sadly that distinction is not common in the US. You are blonde and have blue eyes but have a spanish name? Bam you are a brown mexican... enjoy...
Mexico have a tiny tiny black population.... they are not particularly woke either. I dont wish the live of a black man in mexico to anyone.
The thing is while “hispanic” is commonly used as a race identifier in the U.S , the reality is that they are hardly homogeneous in any aspect. The biggest portion of “hispanics” in the US are dirty poor mexican and central americans migrants, usually of heavy native american descent. The other small groups DO NOT identify with each other and even less with the main group. The cultures and race composition are widely different between the small groups and the main group. Its not uncommon for them trashing each other. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “anti-hispanic” sentiment is mainly of “hispanic” origin.
Its funny like non of the white peoples from those countries dont come at all. Those people real racist and treat their brown citizens as glorified slaves. They are also overwhelmingly left wing ironically...
At the very least one parent needs to be a citizen for a child to be considered as such. I would also encourage some mean testing. It would eliminate a lot of fraud and birth tourism as well.
Only a madman would buy that crap from CNN. The central americans and mexicans that make the bulk of illegal immigrants are extremely poor and uneducated. Their values are irrelevant in the face of their extreme poverty. Democrats know this and use to their advantage, they want them in and they want them illegal. If they are illegal they can keep them scared of the “evil” republicans that want to send them back to their supper shitty lives. Their children will grow into this paranoid environment , which added to the left control of educational institutions, becomes the perfect lwfty vote factory.
We do need the show though. Communist need to be publicly disgraced as the traitors they are.
Get woke go broke is not putting nearly as much of a dent as you think. People still have Netflix, Prime and still drink far too much Starbucks. It works with a smaller things, but services that become part of everyday life are incredibly resilient.
They corporations dont fucking care about being woke. They do it because its the easy way out. The left controls almost all culture. Until we start taking back culture we will remain fairly powerless. Thats why they can so whatever the hell they want and be held to no standard but god forbid you support the president publicly or you are out of a job.
Every time this gets brought up, people start getting all principled and shit. The fact its that without Pinochet, Chile would have become another Cuba or position beholden to Cuba like Venezuela is now. The guy was such a patriot that he called for elections and relinquished power.
Sometimes principles have to be adapted to the circumstances we face. Gotta look at the bigger picture and all that’s stake. The way i see it , sooner or later, we will have to choose between a right wing dictatorship or a communist one.
Did someone mention a hero?
At least it didn’t die that time.
I wish corporations did a bit more research before jumping on the Twitter bandwagon. I would love to know if being apolitical would actually have an impact on their bottom line. I strongly doubt it would.
And the ones that didnt? You obviously havent traveled much. Argentina? Cuba? Uruguay? Chile? There is a distinct difference between the mixed people with significant native american heritage and those that are european.
