What's in a Name? (Hispanic or Latino)

[mdr55]

Que paso mi amigos y amigas.

Tu eres "Hispanic" o "Latino"?

I was reading the paper today and they had an article re: being Hispanic or Latino. To people not of these origins, they see no difference. But to people of Hispanic or Latino descent feel offended of being classified as the other.

And what happens if your of mixed nationality (any nationality- Greek/Italian, Chinese/Russian, Irish/Canadian, Nigerian/Egyptain, stuff like that)? What do you classify yourself as, if you have only one choice? How do you decide? (Like when you have to fill out college, work, etc. applications).

I'm half Puerto Rican and half Japanese, I just say "mixed" it's easy enough. I believe there's an "interracial" option on those applications.

Perhaps you lack the discipline necessary for you to live.
