sorry to rain on your parade, but unless your 100% indian, north american or south american indian. you are a lil latin too...and hispanic...and chicano, and whatever else name there is. latino and hispanic are names givin to us, chicano is a term made by us and i kinda perfer that one. it comes from the Chichimecah. a people that come from mexico and the southwest. they were semi nomadic. a people with no home, noble savages. i dont know i guess i can kinda relate to that.

The word "Mexi" itself is derived from "Mix"

uh, if your thinking of the word mexican its actually derived from the word Mexihcah. the Nahua people of mexico.

wonderful. I am only regurgatating what an old chicano studies instructor taught. There are more than one way of intrepeting Africa too. Some say its from Leo Africaunus and others say the word Afrik is derived from Greek terms. Good insight though.

oh well he probably thought that, but its scientificaly accepted that the word mexican and mexico canm from the name of the native people. the Mexihcah or mexica. lol alot of people throw there own things in. but im sure the africans had there own name for the land. i dont know if yall named the continent africa or the white devils did...lol

well not at all did Afro's name that continent. There is actually no "proven" term for the whole continent. The one that most have come to agree "might" be an original term is KBLN or they pronounce it A+Ku+Ba+Lan which is an ancient Nubian word. They didn't use Vowels in the language. Also, the black natives of Egypt didn't use Egypt, which is yet another greek affiliated word. They use what is known as KMT or "Kemet" which refers to black soil or land or people...this is still being argued today.

The problem that lies with the original poster and his comments is that the label of being a non-latino does not only apply for mexicans but for all of "latino america" in general. Central and south americans alike, with the exception of a few. I understand the reasoning behind the claim, yet his understanding of the subject is flawed.

As I stated in my previous post, I do understand the reasoning behind the claims, yet many people who make the assertion seem to have a flawed understanding of the concept. Latino and Hispanic are cultural terms derived from european countries, yes. The reasoning goes, the spaniards or "europeans" invaded the land, raping "our" (as they say) people and doing away with the culture, therefore we shouldn't endorse the terms. But many latin american, be it of mexico, honduras, guatemala etc, people would simply not be here were it not for the spaniards cohabiting with the indigenous peoples of these now called "latin american" countries.

The native americans of north america, aztecs/mayas of central america and incas of south america are essentially the same peoples. These original people only make up a small percentile of the population within these countries now. The few who remain pure in blood line, are usually isolated in certain parts of these countries. Most of the current population is made up of mestisoz (mix of european and native american) From Mexico down to Peru. This is were I see the problem; a lot of these people do indeed have european heritage, it's something inescapable, regardless of whether they acknowledge this or not.

I 100% agree with above

Whats a trip is that Mexicans are classified as Caucasian. Most don't even know it.

Used too, but in the 70's the nixon administration fixed that little problem with the word Hispanic...thus creating a blanket term for all peoples considered to have roots in "Latin" American countries.

You've done your research Nyte.,..

No doubt but, they use trickery on that census. Alot of times there are re-classifications so they still find ways to use mexican americans and twist numbers. On a side note I just read in The Sun that we are expected to be over 50% "minority" by midcentury...keep them eyes open..."they're" not just gonna let that happen without taking precautions to remain on top. (of course, this is my oppinion.)

someone give me your thoughts...

With Africans in Latin countries...even though they fall under the blanket term...are they really still Latin? Yes, you have the mixed. But, in many of these latin countries "Africans" are still isolated and victims of racism, thus preserving much of their previous customs.

...FOR ONE THING MEXICANS DO NOT SPEAK LATIN..WE AINT CONSIDER'D LATINS!!!!LOOK IT UP.... GOOGLE THIS SHIT TRUST!!!MEXICANO'S NOTHING ELSE FUCK THE BLANKET TERM LATIN...I AINT LATIN IM MEXICAN....The word "Latin" comes to us from a tribe in early Italy called the Latins. The Latins lived in Latium whose capital city was Rome. Their language was called Latin. According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, as Rome's Empire grew their language, Latin, spread throughout the Roman Empire later evolving into several "Romance" languages; Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. People from these countries are referred to as Latin, their language is derived from "Latin". These languages are very similar as explained by Dr. Lorenzo LaFarelle, a Chicano Studies professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, the word for cave in Spanish is "cueva", in Portuguese is "cova", in Italian is "cava".


When the Romans invaded the Iberian peninsula they found a city already there called Hispalis (Seville). The name Hispalis appears to be derived from Greek since Hispalus is a mythical Greek hero. Later on the Romans annexed the Iberian peninsula making it a province named Hispania. The Romans spent seven centuries in Hispania leaving a legacy not only of language but of social and cultural characteristics such as family, language, and religion which tied Hispania to the rest of the "Latin" world forever. Sometime later the name evolved from Hispania to España. The word Hispania thus refers to the people and culture of the Iberian peninsula, Spain in particular. The term Hispano (Hispanic) later was used in referring to Spain and its subsequent New World - New Spain, conquered territories which covers most of Latino America. Hispanic thus refers to people whose culture and heritage have ties to Spain and, in the case of second and third generation Hispanic-Americans, who may or may not speak Spanish.

I personally don't know much on the origins, but Nyte & THL'S909 ,you foolz got some deep insightful shit....regardless on who's right.....I'm digging this convo....
