“She may be a woman. She may be a Latina”
Just exactly what is a “Latina woman?”
She was born in the Bronx with a Spanish surname. She is a U.S. citizen (of the worst kind).
A “Latin person” is a person born south of our boarder and citizen of one of those many countries. “Latino” is not a citizenship.
Is Charles Krauthammer a German because he has a German last name?
Am I a Brit because I have an English last name?
I’d say crime is still up in D.C., and will continue to rise until the American people do a complete housecleaning.
Latina Woman is redundant. By definition, a “latina” is a latin woman.
HEADLINE SAYS IT ALL!
Yep. It has just shifted in emphasis from muggings and petty theft to larceny on a scale that makes the sacking of Rome look like nicking a gumball...
In D.C., I’d expect the government to send the police out to shoot people, so they can keep the gun violence numbers up.
Crime is down because of the general good vibes emanating from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue since January 21. Nothing else.
As an American of Italian (hence TRULY Latin heritage), I resent the Spanish speaking Siberian immigrants stealing the term “Latino”. MY ancestors were “Latino”. Their ancestors came from Asia or Siberia 10,000 years ago, and were eventually conquered by Europeans who spoke SPANISH or Portuguese, Romance languages. Nothing about them is Latin except the derivation of their language. They are more correctly called Siberian Americans. But hey, history is just the way that the white man keeps minorities oppressed.
Duh...
She ruled that the 2nd Amendment does not apply to the States.
Mestizo (Brazilian Portuguese: mestiço, French: métis) is a Spanish term that was used in the Spanish Empire to refer to people of mixed European and Amerindian ancestry in Latin America. The term continues to be used today in the Americas.It is also used in some parts of Asia-Pacific to refer to people of mixed European and other indigenous ancestry.
The term is mostly used specifically of those people of the particular racial mixture of European and American Indian who inhabit and comprise much of the population of Latin America.
No, the state does not have the right to tell me I must wear a seat belt. But when Washington’s honest citizens are once again armed, crime will go down. It always does.
Yes, Puerto Ricans are American citizens. But Puerto Ricans born on their island are first Puerto Ricans because of the difference in culture. Secondly they are American citizens.
I am not criticizing. I can see where they are coming from. They feel more secure in their Spanish speaking culture.
So why don’t they vote to make their island an independent country? Because they know they will not be as well off being attached to the U.S.
With Obama, maybe they will change their minds.
While I have no doubt you are correct, I would bet $10,000 that calling someone of Spanish heritage would get you fired from any corporation in the country. And it would be like the word “niggardly” - the ignorant fools wouldn’t have a CLUE what the word means.
Criminals are cowards. They go after easy prey. This is why they target the poor, and not the rich. Criminals also target the unarmed, which is why Washington, D.C., was a "gangsta paradise," to quote an old rap song.Thanks neverdem.
