When you define your self as Hispanic, you are saying that you are not Latino, and that you belong in Europe. The term comes from Hispaniola, and it is used to define people from Spain. Latino is something else. Something better. A whole new culture that was created by the mixing of Spanish settlers and Amerindians during the 16th century. So please, if you call yourself Hispanic, do us all a favour, and inform yourself of what you are saying. I'm Latino, not Hispanic. Hispanic = Ignorant.

@AbsentMindedFilm and when exactly did I say I was Latina? I'm NOT. Hence why I used the term "Hispanic" as opposed to "Latina/Latino" ... there is also a part in the actual video that states HISPANIC refers to Spanish/Spain.

So before you call anyone ignorant please do me a favor and step back... think about what you're about to say... and bite your tongue.

Thanks.

Hispanic means you were born in the US but your of Spanish decent. If you were born anywhere other than the US and you are of spanish decent then you arent hispanic, your are latino, mexican, or spanish.

I loved it. Personally, I think that its very important to keep your culture with you wherever you go. It is forever a part of you. Although, America may not be "home", it is a place where people can come together from different parts of Latin America and agree with each other on one thing ... which is usually the better-meant of themselves and their families.

Also, I loved the scene cuts; they were very professional! B-)
