@PS6129 I think I'm white because I know I"m white because I am white lol. I know hispanic people can be white too but I'm white and not hispanic and I am the type of person (white non hispanic) latinos/hispanics are referring to when they say "white people can't dance".

[PS6129]

@EMBL2011 What makes you think that you are white because you are not Latin/Hispanic? I am of Hispanic ancestry and I am white with blonde, blue-eyed blood relatives.

@HighVoltageWeed - It's easy! I learned in 1 minute from a 60yr old Spanish lady at work!

@HighVoltageWeed whats worse is being half and cant speak spanish, I mean i can hold a limited convo but damn!!!!lol

[EMBL2011]

@HighVoltageWeed lol. Atleast you admit it. I hate when latinos act like all of them just know how to dance naturally. I've seen some that do not know how to dance. I dance better than a lot of them and I'm white. Also hate it when they act like no white person can dance.

I love to dance merengue I started dancing since I was three but the problem with me is I move too much maybe because I live for a good workout :-) oh and it's definitely sexy if a guy knows how to dance Its definitely not sexy if a guy doesn't know how to dance and doesn't have rhythm
