Just as our pigment challenged brothers and sisters and more Caucasian than "White"
As for Colored.. Me thinks we ALL friking "Colored"
</div></div>
but the meaning of 'negro' is simply 'black' in spanish...
so are you more spanish black than english black?
</div></div>
the spanish language has a latin as its base. In latin the word for black is niger or atra..soo does it matter if one is more spanish black, latin black or english black?
the name does not bother me. It is historical and reminds me of the struggles our ancestors had to be bear to earn a sliver of equality in the americas after the invasion of the europeans. </div></div>
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: jah yout</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> i feel you but if they call my people '<span style="font-weight: bold">negros</span>' in an english-speaking country, and all men (& women) are created equal, then i would insist that whites are called '<span style="font-weight: bold">blancos</span>'...
if not i would demand an explanation why...
if they insist they are 'caucasian' then ii would ask them why they choose a moniker that represents a geographic region, but choose a moniker for me that is based on a color... </div></div>
...where I live I'm in the minority and they call me an "Anglo"....I think it's a term for people who don't understand why the Hispanics here don't like "Mexicans".
true.
