So we can have an agreed upon definition for latino but we can't have the same for hispanic, right? I guess it may have been out of line for me to come over to your blog and disagree with you, and I'm sorry for that. It's just that, as a mexican (and note this is mexican born and raised in México) I don't like being told what I am and what I'm not by some cuban american claiming to be defending my interests. We don't need you to tell us what our culture is or is not. Have you even been to Cuba?

Latin@ is a definition the majority of us decided for ourselves. Hispanic is a definition that was decided FOR us.

That’s the difference.

Honestly, I’m giving less and less of a fuck by the second. As I have said multiple times already, call yourselves whatever the hell you want. But that won’t stop me from fighting against the word “Hispanic” and its cultural implications.

Also I like how you seem all nice and courteous just before condescendingly asking me if I’ve ever even visited Cuba. That was cute. Wondering about my cultural credentials, or are you implying that because I’ve never visited Cuba, that somehow makes my arguments less valid?
