In reply to the discussion: The rise of white nationalist Hispanics [View all]BumRushDaShow
(170,269 posts)40. Here in the east
(I am in Philly), the Caribbean Hispanics from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic - go by their island names, e.g., Puertorriqueños.
I don't think I have ever heard any here reference the term "Chicano" here, but if anything, "Latino" (to reference to being from "Latin America" part of the world including the Caribbean, and more recently, assigning a gender as in sometimes use of "Latina" for instance).
Even then, their pronunciations of Spanish words are different across the different origin nationalities, e.g., something as simple as the word "Yo" is pronounced differently by different groups (Puerto Ricans will say "Djo" vs others that will will to more of the "ye" sound).
And LOL @ "belt size"!

If you're implying that somehow Spanish people are more oppressive than others, that's absurd.

Who please. No country or culture is more evil than others. People are people.
