@ReptileDude511 you've just highlighted the true meaning of "hispanic/latino" when referring to demographics. latino is an abbreviation of "latinoamericano" and doesn't necessarily refer to people from countries of "latin origin" (otherwise italians and even french would be classified that way too - although many people in spain/france & portugal would argue against the term latin also). you certainly would be a latino/hispanic (depending as I understand it on which coast you live on)

@afonso381 Actually it is not. Several words are spelled differently and some conjugation forms are different to. Get that straight...
-
@ReptileDude511 Well americans are the only country in the world that has this "hispanic" category so just because they don't consider spanish people white doesn't mean they aren't white, the whole world considers them white exept the USA.

@Raindogs2342 Yes i know similar traits are in Spain. There are spaniards in Spain that have blond hair and blue eyes. I know my culture however i'm not fully european like i said im a mixture of Mexican indian and Spanish which is called Mestizo in the casta system. The Portuguese and the Spaniards are modern day descendants of the Iberians. Many spaniards have black hair and fair skin. The american government groups the spaniards with the Mexicans even though they are truly europeans.

@ReptileDude511 uh...no i'm british, the portuguese share close DNA with the western europeans, specially the irish french and scotish, you do realiaze that the celtic british people came from the iberian peninsula which is now spain and portugal or are you too americanized to learn that? don't worry ur not alone: /watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE

@Raindogs2342 I guess this is coming from a portuguese guy because otherwise why would you care. I do actually now consider all europeans caucasian but i do consider portuguese and spaniards to be latin because there language is derived from latin. I am half Spainsh so i do know about Spain and my culture. So i would think before you talk shit. I am american but im mexican. Spain has brought there culture to mexico. However i am not portuguese.

@ReptileDude511 You are a fucking YANKEE that does not know jack shit about portugal and spain so shut the fuck up about portuguese people not being white
-
@laton2010 Actually, Brazilian Portuguese should be considered a dialect of the original Portuguese spoken in Portugal, i.e. it would be understood by a Portuguese visiting the country, but the pronunciation and vocabulary would throw them off a little bit.
-
Everybody shut up, and watch the interview. Damn it.
