oh puh-LEASE!!! you can tell by the overwhelming # of thumbs-down on this video that REVOLT973 - you are just playing the "race card" and trying to stir the pot - please get a life
@TheCHICA81 No, they're not. The term "hispanic" was coined by the US to determine anyone who speaks Spanish. It is not a term used in Spanish speaking countries and doesn't even exist in the Spanish language! If you want to say it is a Spanish speaking country or person you say just that, "Spanish speaking".
@Letsgofor2 Wasn't racist although some people would consider it to be a racist comment to say that people that are latin have a temper streak, I think it's more of a stereotypical comment, he basically just put his foot in his mouth and didn't think before speaking, but YES it can be considered to be a racist comment, any time you generalize a culture with one specific attribute.
Regardless if Enrique Iglesias is "Latin" or not, this clip illustrates more blatant things: (a.) It is acceptable for mainstream tv to stereotype a person of Latin descent. However, Jews, Blacks, fat people and especially Muslims are off limits. (b.) Matt is very calculating-note how he cleverly backs off as Enrique pretty much takes control of the interview. (c.) The Today Show has had an identitly crises for a very long time (ie:news?? entertainment?? serious reporting?? etc.).
With the Roman conquest, Latin spread to countries around the Mediterranean, and the vernacular dialects spoken in these areas developed into the Romance languages, including Aragonese, Catalan, Corsican, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Sardinian, and Spanish. so if you speak any of the above it comes from latin origin. It's obsurd to say Spanish people are not considerd latin and say that other spanish speaking countries are.
I'm latino and did not find this racist at all. We do have a strong temper is true, the comment wasn't wrong it was just funny. By the way Enrique Iglesias isn't latino anyways
I do have a question. If a person has puertorican, cuban, or other nationality parents but the person is born an raised in America what would they be considered? American or their nationality?
@Angietrauma - Someone born in (the United States of) America would be an US citizen. That person would be American by nationality. What they "would be considered" has many answers, depending on who is doing the considering. I think it's best to let people decide what they want to be called.
Latino is a made up word. Its something spanish speaking indians like to call themselves. They are not Latin they dont speak Latin but they like the word Latino. It sounds cool.
I think people are being misconstrued as to what constitutes a Latino. A Latino is anyone of hispanic descent. Someone who is either from Latin America, Spain, the Caribbean countries (Cuba and Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic) those are all Latinos. I am a Latina, so I know. You do not have to be from Latin America only. I am Spanish (Spain) and Cuban and I am considered a Latina.
@Oaken007 Latino is not an accurate term, because most "Latino" people are of indigenous American descent, with a bit of white(mostly spanish), arab, and black mixed in. Mostly native american though. You can define the people as being from the Greater American Spanish speaking areas, or as being from hispanic areas, but Spanish people are not Latinos. They are considered Latin, which is another silly term, but is applied to the Romance people of Europe.
@Oaken007 Certainly Oaken, I take your point. However, many countries in South America have traditionally held the notion that most indigenous people have disappeared as a people and that they themselves are not native, being mixed eurafrican, but mostly spanish.
The Spanish invented this story to keep control of "Latin America", telling everyone that the natives were extinct. Google "KearnsDNA" for more information on this study and read the articles about it.
Latins are all of those that speak a language that derives from Latin. French, Italians, Spanish, Rumanian, etc. Enrique is Hispanic, Spaniard, Latino, and a good singer btw... (all of the above).
He's not Latino, he's actually from Spain..Spanish people arent considered Latinos they are considered Spaniards..people from Spanish speaking countries that arent Spain are Latino...not Spaniards
@truth2748 How the heck was what I said racist? I was stating the truth. Look it up..ask any hispanic and they will tell you. I havent been down rated . So *uff*
@KaunisSuicide You're wrong. I'm hispanic and you're wrong. I am Spanish and Cuban. Neither of those countries are in Latin America and I consider myself a Latina... so you're 100% W R O N G
@truth2748 and @mackinacls said the EXACT same thing I did but hers/his was shorter and in spanish, mine was more detailed and in English..go bother her/him....
@KaunisSuicide your right im from southamerica from there is the name latino in spain is españoles,you know theres always someone when you look around that puts or try to put you down
@KaunisSuicide You are confused with the concepts. Latins are all of those that speak a language that derives from latin, such as: Spanish, French, Itlaian, etc.
Yes, he is Spaniard, that is his citizenship, but his heritage is also considered latino.
@zipping says "Yes, he is Spaniard, that is his citizenship, but his heritage is also considered latino."
He is European-Asian. Latino is a culture, not a genetic heritage. And, to answer some other ppl, both guys have some jewish heritage, which is completely irrelevant.
Regardless of Matt and Enrique being the same race, nobody would really care if he had said something like "Nordic Efficiency", or "Latin passion" or "African Soul". People only get mad if the stereotype doesn't fit.
@KaunisSuicide Well, not necessarily. Latino basically means "Latin American", referring to places in North and South America that speak Spanish. Spanish comes from traditional Latin (the language), so does Portuguese, French, Italian, and Romanian. Spanish has been most identified with the "Latin" label which is not so much used for the other 4 in this day and age. Matt Lauer called him Latin, not Latino, which Enrique is. He is not Latino but that doesn't change the fact that he is Latin.
@KaunisSuicide there's no point in trying to educate the average youtube idiot, they'll NEVER get it. It was a nice try though and I applaud your effort, but to these American idiots it's all the same.
@kmack002... Latino means Latin, so it's completely unreasonable that Europeans-- who created Latin-- cannot be considered Latino but non-Europeans can. It's as absurd and narcissistic as saying a citizen of the United States or Canada can be considered Anglo but not an Englishman.
People who try to impose their personal meanings onto words are bigger idiots than those who don't, generally speaking.
@KaunisSuicide the technical word is actually Hispanic for all people of Latin/Spanish descent. However, all races and ethnicities are socially constructed, so we are all human, and that's the best race of all.
@KaunisSuicide yea but people from brazil are latino, and that's not a spanish speaking country. if youre from latin america, youre latino. if youre from any spanish-speaking country, youre hispanic. so people from spain are hispanic as well as spaniards. muuuy complicado jajaj

Out of touch, my brother, time to hang it up and retire with your million dollar contract in tact. You are the worst scum on the earth.
Lauer, what a fucking scumbag he is. I'm pretty sure most of these anchor's are real assholes. Maybe his wife likes Latin men, that's why he's so insecure.
my god, THAT was racist? jesus christ, if somebody talks about whitey and how nerdy they are and walk like they have a stick up their ass and cant dance, its all fun and games. but if whitey says anything jokingly about a "minority" hes an offspring of some clansmen who should be shot because hes so racist. get over it, this country is a melting pot and racial humor comes with that. quit crying
Lighten up folks, that was not racist. Latino people are a passionate people and with that passion comes high amounts of anger, but also joy, happiness and Love to mention a few. The only racist comment was to Vampires.
Fuck you racist piece of shit. And don't come back at me with some latino-related racist insult because I'm a caramel dude from a vanilla mom and chocolate dad ;)
OH yeah. No, this is just making a mountain out of a molehill. Having a temper streak isn't necessarily considered a dishonorable trait in my opinion. Perhaps the people who are featuring this video should focus on exposing serious cases of racism so as not to desensitize the public to it when it actually happens, which is what seems to have happened within the black community: people crying racism so much that no one listens anymore.
people do need to read. 1race with many ethnic groups/subs. America may have been different if the freedoms had continued after the civil war. freed slaves worked like most everybody..until jim crow laws & others, voting issues and influx of european race and psycholgy crap hit us. after/around WW1, we regressed and pissed on some 40+ years of civility post civil war . can u imagine if we had bypassed approx. that thru 1968?
Please learn the definition of racism. There are only 3 races on planet Earth. Caucasian, negroid, and mongoloid.
Enrqiue Iglesias and Matt Lauer are clearly BOTH Caucasian, therefore it's impossible for Matt to be racist unless he hates HIS OWN RACE! Now he could be bigoted, but definitely not racist
That is a complete over simplification. There are far more then 3 races. Pakistanies, Indians and arabs are none of those. Australian Aborigines are not Negroids.
Most people are mixtures of many "races", especially across borders. Africa has more genetic diversity then any other continent. Kenyans for example are nothing like Nigerians.
I'm black....this was not racist. People blowing things like this out of proportion is the very thing that allows the majority to "blow off" claims of racism when real things happen. As minorities we need to start choosing our battles better
Nobody knows what Racism truly means. Racism has an original definition to it but everybody within generations going back to the 60s have been brainwashed to believe it has all to do with Hatred when it doesn't. Until everybody learns what Racism really means, nobody should ever use it in context.
Oh Yes a lot of People Do Know what Racism is DJClerics - But those people learned it the hard way - Racism - Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
Jcermakiddle is right he is a mental midget.. Enrique schooled him with the Journalist Comment - and like most You Tube Posters he replied with a Bigoted Statement - his comment was not racist but Bigoted - I am sure he isn't racist he probably has "Latino and Black Friends" If he was a bigot on TV, I wonder what behind closed doors.
people are always more critical to the opposite of what there nationality is. he might be a bigot but most people are like that, i think sometimes u just need to turn the other cheek and laugh like enrique did. he learned his lesson and knew he looked like an idiot, u dont need to patranize him for it :)
He's not a racist, but he is a mental midget and a tool for the immoral left and media. It never fails to amaze me how those who so quickly use the term "racist" reveal their own bigotry or ignorance.
Matt was just saying how Latin people are feisty ...because IT IS FUCKING TRUE! ...he didn't say oh you fucking spic motherfucked go lick an enchilada you dog fucking day of the dead son of a bitch .. ...because y'know ...that would be racist.
*sigh* Omg that was sooooo incredibly racist. Gosh, how does he sleep at night. *yawn* He should have been fired. On... *another sigh* On... The... *another yawn* Spot. My-oh-my, what HAS this world come to. ...Zzzzzzzz...
I see no racism there, then again i'm white and don't give a fuck about being race. I'm not racist, i just don't get caught up in retarded things that aren't directed towards me.
"Latin streak? wtf?" Enrique Iglesias is spanish. He was born in Spain. (Europe) which makes him white!. Where the heck this Matt guy gets "Latin" streak?. Do your research man.
Had Matt Lauer been any other color (than white), this would have been a non-issue. I don't see people speaking out against Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. They are racist! Political correctness is killing this country.
wtf a latin streak.....that is racist....he is assuming latin people have bad tempers?that is just as bad as saying something like blacks are lazy or white people are greedy. thats ignorant
There is a difference between making a cultural comment and making a racist comment. If Americans knew the difference, half of the crap like this we're forced to sit through would not exist. Once Americans know the difference between racism and cultural insensitivity, we can pull our heads out of our asses and perhaps get beyond racism once and for all.
I am so sick of the whining and crying and finger pointing by the pathetically weak minded, thin skinned people, who take offense at every little comment that refers to someone's race. We are being brainwashed into being color blind when it comes to the various races. Even animals can recognize differences in other animals. News Flash: We are all different. We look different. We think and talk different. We ARE different. Races ARE different. Men and women ARE different. Accept it and move on.
We all know that when you make that type of a comment towards friends they laugh it off and come back with some comment towards you. why does this differ? people make fun of jews being rich and blacks liking fried chicken. anyone with half a mind knows that the person making that comment has some sense and understands that not a whole ethnic group has the same standards as their stereotype. Stop over thinking things just to cause a rift, there is no reason. Leave the man alone.
wow! "you got that latin side to you"..."that mean streak"....always amazed how racist whit men are. So being latin equals dificult and mean streak? white people don't have mean streaks?? There are plenty of dead native americans and black people who can beg to differ.
Lighten up, people. So not something to create an issue about.

Lighten up folks, that was not racist. Latino people are a passionate people and with that passion comes high amounts of anger, but also joy, happiness and Love to mention a few. The only racist comment was to Vampires.

daycan1 2 years ago
OH yeah. No, this is just making a mountain out of a molehill. Having a temper streak isn't necessarily considered a dishonorable trait in my opinion. Perhaps the people who are featuring this video should focus on exposing serious cases of racism so as not to desensitize the public to it when it actually happens, which is what seems to have happened within the black community: people crying racism so much that no one listens anymore.

people do need to read. 1race with many ethnic groups/subs. America may have been different if the freedoms had continued after the civil war. freed slaves worked like most everybody..until jim crow laws & others, voting issues and influx of european race and psycholgy crap hit us. after/around WW1, we regressed and pissed on some 40+ years of civility post civil war . can u imagine if we had bypassed approx. that thru 1968?

Please learn the definition of racism. There are only 3 races on planet Earth. Caucasian, negroid, and mongoloid.
Enrqiue Iglesias and Matt Lauer are clearly BOTH Caucasian, therefore it's impossible for Matt to be racist unless he hates HIS OWN RACE! Now he could be bigoted, but definitely not racist

That is a complete over simplification. There are far more then 3 races. Pakistanies, Indians and arabs are none of those. Australian Aborigines are not Negroids.
Most people are mixtures of many "races", especially across borders. Africa has more genetic diversity then any other continent. Kenyans for example are nothing like Nigerians.

I'm black....this was not racist. People blowing things like this out of proportion is the very thing that allows the majority to "blow off" claims of racism when real things happen. As minorities we need to start choosing our battles better

Nobody knows what Racism truly means. Racism has an original definition to it but everybody within generations going back to the 60s have been brainwashed to believe it has all to do with Hatred when it doesn't. Until everybody learns what Racism really means, nobody should ever use it in context.

Oh Yes a lot of People Do Know what Racism is DJClerics - But those people learned it the hard way - Racism - Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
Jcermakiddle is right he is a mental midget.. Enrique schooled him with the Journalist Comment - and like most You Tube Posters he replied with a Bigoted Statement - his comment was not racist but Bigoted - I am sure he isn't racist he probably has "Latino and Black Friends" If he was a bigot on TV, I wonder what behind closed doors.

people are always more critical to the opposite of what there nationality is. he might be a bigot but most people are like that, i think sometimes u just need to turn the other cheek and laugh like enrique did. he learned his lesson and knew he looked like an idiot, u dont need to patranize him for it :)

There is a difference between making a cultural comment and making a racist comment. If Americans knew the difference, half of the crap like this we're forced to sit through would not exist. Once Americans know the difference between racism and cultural insensitivity, we can pull our heads out of our asses and perhaps get beyond racism once and for all.

I am so sick of the whining and crying and finger pointing by the pathetically weak minded, thin skinned people, who take offense at every little comment that refers to someone's race. We are being brainwashed into being color blind when it comes to the various races. Even animals can recognize differences in other animals. News Flash: We are all different. We look different. We think and talk different. We ARE different. Races ARE different. Men and women ARE different. Accept it and move on.

We all know that when you make that type of a comment towards friends they laugh it off and come back with some comment towards you. why does this differ? people make fun of jews being rich and blacks liking fried chicken. anyone with half a mind knows that the person making that comment has some sense and understands that not a whole ethnic group has the same standards as their stereotype. Stop over thinking things just to cause a rift, there is no reason. Leave the man alone.
