Spanish (Spaniard) people are from Spain not Latin America

Hispanics from Latin America are not Spanish. Just because you speak Spanish doesn't mean you're Spanish. It's just like a Jamaican, Barbadian, Trinidaian/Tobagonian or Bahamian saying they're English because they speak English.

Cubans are practically the only ones that have true Spanish decendency, there are other mixes too, look at the beginning of the vid, it states the countries that are not "Spanish" but it doesn't include Cuba, we are the heart of the spaniards.

@roxdan02 I could have put Cuba in the paragraph in the beginning of the video. Cubans are not Spanish and that goes for all Spanish speaking persons from Latin America. Calling a Cuban person Spanish is like calling a Jamaican person English. FYI Argentina has more people of Spanish descent than Cuba.

ur right, spanish people r from spain and not latin america. but spanish r still in some way latin themselves. people in latin america only call themselves latin because of the spanish that is spoken in there country which is a branch from the latin tree which is in the area now called italy spread by romans. yes people in latin america have spanish blood in them and they embrace the european side more. but back to my point that it is labeled latin because of the origin of the spanish language.

@Lonewolf253 Persons from Latin America don't refer to themselves as Latin, Spanish, Hispanic or Latino. Your talking about the Hispanics in America. They tend to identify with those terms. Do you here people from the Anglo-Caribbean countries referring to themselves as English/Anglo-Saxon do you? Countries in Latin America have a lot of people of Italian, German, Poles, Portuguese descent, not just Spanish.

i can only speak about puerto ricans but all our great grandparents were spaniards,because we were part of spain until 1898,wouldn't that make us spanish?

[DaBigSun]

@1989tonyg - No. Your great grandparents were Spanish up until 1898. After that, they became American. Not every Puerto Rican has Spanish ancestry. Many Puerto Ricans can trace their roots to Gamany, Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Lebanon, France, China, and Africa. There's even Puerto Ricans with Jewish ancestry.

@23Namaste42 (continues) We are not a prototype, and where I come from, in northern Spain, people are quite different than you think. Spain isn’t always sunny, Spain isn’t just beach and hotels, we’ve got a deep EUROPEAN influence and tradition. I can’t stand those andalusian costumes and traditional songs, I’m against bullfighting. We’re not fiesta, paella y siesta.

In fact, some places in northern Spain look more like Scotland, Switzerland or Germany than what you have in mind.

[23Namaste42]

We are not a prototype. It is as if in a video that describes the U.S. just would appear cowboys in stetsons and leather boots drinking in saloons, or one of that shows all German as fat guys with a green bib, robin hood hats and pitchers of beer in their hands.

Man Spanish people can be such idiots racists. And this comes from all the other europeans that are racists towards Spanish people, because they are not descendants of the pretty whites! You all need to love yourselves a bit more. Remember all the gold that shines in your rude country (cause that's the main experience there) comes from the american tribes that you slaughter. Open your mind, and don't make Spanish people look more retarded.

[TheDannyboy55]

for example USA is an English speaking country, but the largest ethnic backround in our country are germans, not British. Meanwhile spanish speaking countries like Bolivia are mostly indigenous ancestry not so much spanish. So one has to ask the question, how did the Spanish and English language top all of the other immigrant languages that would come to those countries. Shouldnt USA be a german speaking country?

[milleniummaster18]

@Sandovart Mexico tops them all, hands down, BOIIIIIIIIIIIIII.

Me gusto como empezó el video, explicando bien que el idioma español se habla en muchos lugares pero el español como tal solo es el nacido en ESPAÑA. Lo que no me ha gustado nada es la seleccion de monumentos, fiestas y personajes famosos de España que has cogido, no has segido un buen criterio la verdad ...

@roxdan02 Cuba is more black than Spanish . Your not Spanish whatsoever. Argentina is the the country with the most Spanish descent .
