total bitch in real life, but ill be god damned if she cant lay it down. .. Be warned, they are hard to handle, but they'll take care of you. weigh the good/bad ratio. White dudes love them some Chileans and they don't even know it, its crazy. They are crazy. Maybe we are the crazy ones for dating them? fuck I don't even know.
As I understand the word, at its narrowest, it describes people with ancestry from the former Spanish colonies of the Americas, regardless of the person's race/color, so that should include Chilean folks. I also welcome alternative definitions because classifying humans is never simple or objective.
It all depends on the place and the money. Argentina is getting more expensive, bit right now the dollar is gaining speed, so for foreigners it might get better. Argentina is a big place, though, so it depends on what kind of life you want. Mountains & lakes, coast, dry sierras, big city, etc. Same with Chile, which is more stable than here. Never been to Costa Rica, but to your advantage, it's closer to (your) home and, I heard, very beautiful.
I wouldn't recommend South America. I'm dating a Chilean and have been there. It's neat, but it's not a place to live. Go to Colorado or northern California or experience the Ozarks in northwest Arkansas if you want some change
Yes, they are from a Hispanic country. They may not necessarily be hispanic in ethnicity, though. tons of chileans have ancestry from scotland, ireland, germany, italy etc
Yep. I could be called hispanic because I was born in Argentina from Argentinian parents, despite all my grandparents being immigrants from Eastern Europe (which is so very easy to guess by just looking at me).
Hispanic here. Hispanic stems from roots to Spain and the Spanish language. Chileans speak Spanish due to the Spanish and therefore are Hispanic. To look at the other side, Brazilians don't speak Spanish nor have roots to the Spanish (for the purpose of this example, as I'm sure there's some Spanish in there somewhere), so they are not Hispanic.
I am 1st generation Mexican American and am called Hispanic and Latino. Never really considered the difference, they tend to be pretty interchangeable around my parts
Same. Except I'm Peruvian. I'm called both. I call myself Latino, mostly out of habit and I just prefer the term. A lot of "Hispanic" people don't like the term because they don't want to associate with their colonizers. As a person of largely indigenous origins, I understand. In general, it doesn't bother me either way.
Latino is also a colonizer term. Hispanic comes from Hispania, meaning Spain (and technically Portugal), Latino from all Roman (Latin) countries (hence including French Guyana, for example).
Good luck calling Brazilians, Hispanic or Latino. My father is Jewish and mother is French Brazilian, I've seen her flip her shit on many occasions. She would go on and on about how Brazil was too culturally diverse to be in one category. My dad on the other hand called her Latina all the time.
As a Brazilian, I think "latino" seems about right. But if you talk to me in Spanish I will flip my shit, yeah. It's like meeting a Chinese guy and speaking to him in Japanese because Asians are all the same.
Brazilian is not a race, it's a nationality anyone can obtain being born there or obtaining citizenship regardless of your race and ethnicity. Do you know anything on Brazilian history? There are about 20 million Brazilians of Spanish descent. Spaniards immigrated in small numbers throughout the early 1800's until government was doing everything they can to bring in more Europeans in order to whiten the population which attracted many Spaniards to Brazil for work and such. Grow up and stop flipping out over the silliest things.
If you meet a Spanish speaking person that doesn't share a common language with you, talk to them in Portuguese. As you probably know, the languages are so close you'll be able to have an actual conversation. I've experienced it myself when I was in ESL with a Brazilian kid and so did my mom with her friend's mother. Now Portuguese from Portugal is a different story.
Every Brazilian I've met and asked has pretty strongly denied being considered Latino. Most of the explanations centered around the pretty extensive ethnic diversity contained within Brazil, including Afro/Caribbean/Amerindian/Asian/Euro and so on.
There's a strong and proud bond between the spanish speaking countries in latin america and brazilians don't feel they belong to it mainly because of the language and cultural heritage differences.
Back when the war was going hot and heavy one of George W Bush's aides told him, "Sir, we lost a couple Brazilian soldiers last night." To which he replied, "Brazilian? Is that more than a million?"
Probably something like "lusophonic"-- as in a speaker of Portuguese. The "luso-" prefix is one of those borrowings into English that drive people crazy.
The literal definition is someone from Hispania, or España, or Spain, or more accurately, the ancient Roman name for the iberian peninsula. The modern definition is someone who is part of hispanic culture, i.e. someone who is a native spanish speaker and can be seen as a member of the spanish-speaking community, much like the concept of the british commonwealth revolves around a shared anglosaxon heritage and language.
In Chile we celebrate "Hispanicity Day" on the date Columbus arrived to the Americas. Originally it implied that spaniards brought civilization to the continent and that we all are in some sense, hispanic. Lately it's been reinterpreted as a celebration of the mixing of european and native cultures that gave birth to Latino identity, and some are now calling for renaming the day altogether to something like "Día de la Resistencia Indígena", or the day of indigenous resistance, rejecting the celebration of hispanic heritage altogether, though personally I think that's politically motivated more than anything else. Most latin americans have inherited a mix of cultures with hispanic as the dominant one, and there's nothing wrong with recognizing that while also recognizing that the destruction of amerindian civilizations was a great tragedy. Smallpox had no political agenda, and it's not like any conquerors in the 16th century, european or otherwise, had much consideration for the losing side.
"also recognizing that the destruction of amerindian civilizations was a great tragedy."
I'm just some white dumbass from south central USA, but that is really a god damn tragedy. A lot of human culture was lost and countless suffered to foolish behaviour
As someone born to Urugayan parents living in Canada I consider myself Hispanic. Spanish wasn't my first language due to growing up in an extremely Caucasian area of Ontario that held prejudices against anyone speaking a foreign language. It wasn't until I was well into my teens that I began speaking it. Though I did grow up with an understanding of the language.
So I don't consider a native spanish speaker to necessarily be a criteria... that being said I acknowledge I'm an outlier.
I'd say you are a canadian with hispanic roots. The operational definition for latinos is a degree of familiarity with hispanic language and culture, not silly european notions of ethnic lineage. We're all mutts down here pibe.
someone who is a native spanish speaker and can be seen as a member of the spanish-speaking community, much like the concept of the british commonwealth revolves around a shared anglosaxon heritage and language.
I'm not sure "member of the [native] Spanish-speaking community" is an apt definition of "Hispanic". There are Hispanic people who are not native Spanish speakers, and there are Hispanic people who are not / no longer members of any Spanish-speaking community, esp. immigrants / emigrants. Hispanicity definitely implies some sort of cultural connection with Spain, and perhaps genetic but I'm not sure as I haven't really thought about it - like I'm not sure whether a German who immigrates to Spain at the age of 2 and is brought up as a native Spaniard is Hispanic? I'm not saying they aren't either. I mean it's not like e.g. being "black" where appearance+ancestry is a very clear factor. And then there's Portugal, ain't that Hispania? Hmm.
So where do I fit, according to that? Born and raised in Argentina, from Argentinian parents, all grandparents from Eastern Europe (and it really shows in my sister and I).
I have nooo idea. That's the thing with immigration, everyone ends up being nicely mixed (or not-nicely, if you're into segregation). You're part of Hispanic culture ain't ya. idk. The labels are less important than just getting on.
Hispania was the roman word for the iberian peninsula (spain and friends) so hispanic would basically be anything that spain conquered back in the day (lots of latin america , maybe chile even but idk) that's all I got to say
Correct. On top of that there's Latinos, which means all countries that a Latin speaking country conquered. Spanish, being a Latin language, is included in this group. Therefore all Hispanic countries are Latinos but not all Latinos are Hispanic.
Because americans love to invoke a peninsula that lost its name and meaning even before the age of discovery so they can justify group anyone south of them "hispanic", even when a big number of these people have nothing to do with Spain or with the hispania peninsula.
Good luck calling a Brazilian person Latino or Hispanic they will flip their shit. My mother is 3rd generation French Brazilian, whenever the census came around she would go on a culture spill, talking about how Brazil was too culturally diverse to be put into one category.
She IS Latina being born in Latin America and of French descent, though. Sorry to tell you this but your mother need to learn what Latino actually means.
The Latin languages are one of the most widely spoken language groups today, with over 825 million native speakers, about as many as the 873 million native speakers of Mandarin, the most widely spoken language.
"Latin speaking countries" = "Countries that speak Latin languages". The fact that the original Latin is a dead language is part of the context that should allow you to interpret that phrase correctly.
Any country in Latin America that has Spanish as their main and official language is a Hispanic country. Although, it's so racially and ethnically diverse in Latin America, Latino would be preferable to identify those who isn't of Spanish descent. Unfortunately, indigenous people, and others are grouped together with those who has Spanish ancestry like myself. I don't like that. Oh, well.
Hispanic is the English translation of "Hispano," a word meaning "Spanish", with roots in Latin
eg: "hispanohablante" is a common term for a native Spanish speaker, and that's pretty much what "Hispanic" in the US context means. It's an appropriation, not a creation.
