What does "Hispanic" mean

What does "Hispanic" mean

I see a lot of guys arguing what it is and I'm confused.

Is it a bullshit word, is it a legit race, is it a culture, is there multiple races of hispanic, the fuck is it?

Orange-brown people with black hair

Hispanic is the same as white.
Just like there are a ton of white people from different countries, there's a ton of different hispanic people from different countries.

how did this five year old get on our board

There is no such thing as "hispanics". It is a made up word with no legitimate definition.

Hispanic-white bred Spanish
Latino-nigger bred spanish

Hispanic is long for spic

It simply refers to have origins in a Spanish-speaking country. It has nothing to do with race or genetics. An Argentine of Italian descent, Peruvian of Japanese descent, Mexican mestizo, etc are all Hispanic despite being racially distinct from each other.

Hispania was the name given to the Iberian Peninsula by the Romans.

Spain derived it's name from there, despite not controlling the whole thing (because of us).

Hispanics just mean "of spanish/hispanic" ascent/language.

Usually since Spain took the name from Hispania, and since there are not many actual Spaniards in the US, it means all the Spanish-speaking countries. Portugal and Brazil are excluded since we speak Portuguese, and so is Spain, since you've never seen one, probably.

Now, because you cunts are dumb, you assume that people from Spain are brown, but you forget that American Hispanics are actually a random mix of white (from their Spanish side) and brown (native American). This confirmation bias makes you assume that every Brown Spanish person you see is the norm, despite there being tons of white Spaniards that you'd think look French or Northern Italian.

It essentially refers to people from the former Spanish and Portuguese colonies.

Spain and Portugal came as conquerors and brought men and few women, so the soldiers basically picked the best native girls and fucked them willingly or otherwise. Spain also dominated the slave trade and imported a lot of african slaves, which they also fucked. Escaped slaves would also fuck natives, following their master's example.

So these Latin countries typically have elite Spaniard upper classes that persist as being purely spanish, A large lower class of mistezo european/native hybrids of varying percentages, a undo-mullato minority (largest in hue land) and what can count as "pure" reminance of the natives at the very lowest trecks of society.

In the united states, the most numerous group of people labeled with the term "Hispanic" come from Mexico. These are typically mestizo with a higher percentage of native blood than other latin mestizos (like 60% native). There is a tiny minority of rich mexicans that move here, that are Spanish elite decent. Because they're basically Spaniards in blood, they're refereed to as "white-hispanic" and are counted as white. The reason for this definition is americans perception of Mexicans is that of their more native-blooded population, since they are poor and most likely to want to leave Mexico.

Mexicans have a romanticized view of the Aztecs, the central american empire civilization that the spaniards conquered. This view combined with strict spanish racial laws creates a contradicting idea in them that they are both "white" and "aztec", resulting in extreme racism towards "cholos" or "indians" in mexico, despite basically looking identical.

Most mexican mestizos probably aren't related to Aztecs and are more likely born of the tribes that betrayed them.

>Spain also dominated the slave trade
wat?

This video will help

Mestizo is a brown person, a mixture of Spanish Conquistador and Indio. White Mexicans are Criollos or Castizos.
Chicano is a phony political made-up thing to do with disloyal Americans born in America but identifying as Mexicans: what would be called treason in any other case.
Latino means from Latin America and survives from a rather useless term for Catholic.
Hispanic, like Slavic or Arabic, means language and culture, not race. A completely white person born in Japan can be a "Hispanic."

>Is it a bullshit word
yes
> is it a legit race, is it a culture
no
> is there multiple races of hispanic
its a bullshit amerishart word, why go there

> the fuck is it?
shart

There were far more slaves pushed into south America than north america.

Why do you think the Caribbean has so many islands with black majority populations?

when I say "Spain" I'm also including Portugal just for ease of argument. They're distinct, separate countries with separate languages but they were essentially doing the same exact shit in south and central America, including fucking natives and blacks.

France got massively rich from the African slave trade and successfully ducked ever acknowledging or apologizing for it. Brion Gysin, lover of William Burroughs, established that basically the same families survived and retained books documenting the French role in their splendid centennially-old estates. He got a MacArthur Genius Grant to go to France and try to study this. He met with several formerly slave trading families but never succeeded in seeing any account books.

>Hispanic (white)

It means Mexican, unless you're in Florida where it means Cuban

Hispanic is literally the same term the "Alt-Right" is but applied to race. It encompasses wildly different racial makeups of peoples from Central America, Southern America, the Caribbean, the United States, and even Spain.

In shart in mart logic though, it means anyone who is from a family of Spanish-speaking immigrants.

This

have you taken your hormones today paco?

Hispanic = Latin/central America
Spanish = Spain

...

Hispanic. White. Black. Asian. Are all umbrella terms to categorize ethnicity.

White can be Russian or European ethnicity or descent. Black is any person from African ethnicity or descent. Ect etc. you get the point.

These are terms that really only work in places like America and Canada because of the sheer amount of different groups and ethnicities congregate here

Cubans are black, palmero

>confirmation bias
The day Sup Forums understands the meaning of confirmation bias will mark the end of this board.

It's basically just a census category that covers people from spanish speaking cultures.

So white Cubans, mestizo Mexicans, and mulatto Dominicans are all considered 'hispanic'.

There's no single race or culture. But the US gov tracks them all as hispanic, so if you want to use federal data you end up talking about them as a single group.

DUDE, I am an Hispanic, and I dont know what I am. Black people call me white, white people call me spic... it is confusing as fuck. Personally I prefer to call myself American 1st, and terms like Hispanic or African American are divisive as fuck

> Argentina
> white

God I hate Cubans and Puerto Ricans.

90% of the Atlantic slave trade went south of the border

Pretty much this.

As white as the fucking snow. Eyes as green as the grass, hair is a majestic golden brown (not feminine blonde).

R1B, roots lie in Castilla la mancha.

I apologize that my ancestors left such a plague to continue on in the lower half of the new world. They just wanted the gold really. I can only think of cuba where the natives were mostly exterminated.

I continue their work and I hope crusaders and conquistadors look down with pride every time I fuck some central/south american whore.

I hate 'em too ameri-senpai

...

Hispanic would be like your cultural heritage I guess? American your Nationality and race it's probably a mix, you can get a DNA test to confirm it

Hispanic means you have some sort of family tie to a Spanish speaking culture. Some are black as fuck and some are genetic whites. It's like asking "what race are Americans."

Even some Filipino identify as Hispanic.

>a literal man of La Mancha

Hispanic is someone who speaks Español

we are mestizos, and indigenous people. The "hispanics" are not really the majority.

Why some Mexicans choose to deny their Conquistador blood is beyond me.

It's not latino

>Spaniard upper classes that persist as being purely spanish

Nope, this is what delusional White mestizos and Argentinians tell themselves feel better. The amount of intermixing was massive and even the whiter Latinos tend to have high percentages of Native or African blood. Not to mention that a lot of the people who migrated to America were Jews and Muslims escaping persecution from the Inquisition.

In Latin America there is hardly any "proper Aryans", we are all very mixed.

Hispanic: Speaks Spanish as native language.

That's it. Generally refers to ex-colonies of the Spanish Empire that still maintain the language.

There are white Hispanics (criollos), mixed Hispanics (Mestizos, the ones who move to the US), Native American Hispanics (most of Bolivia, for example), Black Hispanics (Caribbean).

It is not a race, it is not the same as Latin America (BRs are not Hispanics, Quebec is not Hispanic). Spaniards are. Catalans and Basques are. Some Philippino minorities are.

Except for the Nazis that escaped to Argentina,

Because you don't get to play the victim card and be a poor, oppressed minority if you're part white

>Costa Rica
Of course you'd think that.

>Except for the Nazis that escaped to Argentina,

Their children are probably already fucking the Natives anyway.

I have never seen a Mexican play the victim card or pretend to be an oppressed minority.

That's exclusive to niggers.

Hispanic means blood of Spain and Portugal.

So the more European people from Spain and Portugal are Hispanic.

Latin Americans (Mexico+Central America+South America) are a mix of Spaniards and jungle savages (Native Americans), therefore they are also "Hispanic." The mixture itself is called "mestizo."

Even we wanted to be more precise and acknowledge that Mexicans are niggers, while people from Spain are superior, we would direct are hate towards Mestizos.

Unfortunately, everyone from Mexico denies they have any Native blood, and claims they're pure Spanish.

This is false. Anyone from Mexico, or elsewhere in Latin America, is a mestizo subhuman.

>If* we wanted to be more precise and acknowledge that Mexicans are niggers, while people from Spain are superior, we would direct our* hate towards Mestizos.

We are as "white" as Argentina and Uruguay. The vast majority of Natives had been already wiped out by disease (more than 95% of all of them) by the time the first proper Colonists arrived in 1562. And still we managed to get a high percentage of Amerindian blood.

And the same applies to Argentina:

>A scientific team from the University of Buenos Aires School of Medicine analyzed the blood types of 73,875 donors from the Blood Bank of the Policlínico Ferroviario Central, with the purpose of finding European and Amerindian genetic components. The samples were organized following a map of the country, and the study concluded that "the percentages found in native population were: European component, 81.47%-81.77%, and Amerindian component 18.23%-18.57%."

>Another study of the Amerindian ancestry of Argentines was headed by Argentine geneticist Daniel Corach of the University of Buenos Aires. The results of this study in which DNA from 320 individuals in which 9 Argentine provinces were examined showed that 56% of these individuals had at least one recent Amerindian ancestor.

Once again, its the same faggot shitposting about Mestizos

I'm going to call you out every time I see you.

It means South American

it's a blanket term for south americans when you don't want to specify country or gender

Go ahead. It wasn't me as I've never posted about it before.

I know what you're talking about though. It feels like just in the last 1-2 weeks we've seen an explosion in people saying "DON'T SAY HISPANIC. SAY MESTIZO" as if it's some moral cause.

While I originally thought it was silly to make such an issue of it, I've somewhat changed my mind. People here are way to lenient on Spics. They're doing more damage than all the niggers in the US together by invading taking our very country from us. Maybe by clarifying that Mexicans are not European and using a more derogatory term (that reminds us of their shitskin nature) will wake people up.

hispanic just means former spanish colony

basically if spanish is your first language you are hispanic

Maybe that applies to Mexicans in the USA but here? The only way you can be a minority (in the sense of some prejudice, alienation and shitty treatment) and reap benefits form it is if you're from an indigenous tribe, and yet most people here think we all come from Aztecs and that they're our ancestors, that the evil greedy Spaniards conquered us and stole our gold. Take for example Dia de Muertos. That shit comes form an Aztec celebration and it wasn't even known in my state until after public education programs forced it into schools mid 20th century, all to promote an indigenous identity in all Mexico, which happens to always be about Aztecs.

just don't think it, it's like saying jew

>Unfortunately, everyone from Mexico denies they have any Native blood, and claims they're pure Spanish.

No, believe me it's all about "Our Aztec ancestors" here and the "greedy Spaniards that conquered us". Thanks to socialist teachers in public schools.

Hispanic is used whenever white people do something good: whites are only 62% of USA

Hispanic is not used when white people do something bad: whites are 72% of USA

It's too late for that, Clinton will destroy Trump thanks to Latinos and force the Republican party to become fully pro-Hispanic. After that amnesty for millions of immigrants will be inevitable and you will "lose" your precious country.

A few weeks ago I was talking to a guy from California who was saying that Spanish is almost a second language over there. Seems like that will be the rule for a lot of states near the border in the upcoming years.

Literally no one cares about this issue besides Sup Forums, and there's no doubt in my mind its all coming from one person.

Spanish people do not label themselves as Hispanic, they only label themselves as Whites. The only people making this confusing for anyone are the idiots who call the Spanish "Hispanic."

Don't be a pussy and actually do something, faggot. Complaining on Sup Forums about Mexicans taking your women isn't going to stop them.

I basically proved your point kek.

The most aggravating part is that even on a board filled with racist nationalists, people still don't really mind spics.

They're taking our country from us, becoming the majority, and ensuring Liberals will always win.

And yet, everyone on Sup Forums is like "they hardworking conservatives." It's insane. Just look at their voting records.

If you lived with Latinos you will know most of them are fairly conservative Catholics. Also most left-wing parties in Latin America tend to be fairly socially conservative.

Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio were trying really hard to make a party that was more welcoming towards Latinos in the USA in order to get their vote, but you guys destroyed them.

Nope. Pretty sure that's just you.

STOP CALLING YOURSELF HISPANIC! YOU'RE NOT HISPANIC! REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

You're always in these threads. You're pretty damn predictable.

Hispanic: Spanish speaking.

Latino: Romance language speakers in the Americas.

Spain is Hispanic but not Latino, just as Brazil is Latino but not Hispanic.

>STOP CALLING YOURSELF HISPANIC! YOU'RE NOT HISPANIC! REEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Today's episode of "Is it a Sup Forumsack or a tumblrina?"

That's because they literally throw the useless ones to your country which just happen to conform to liberal ideals for more free shit

I live in California and I assure you I know Spics.

Yes. They are socially conservative and Christian.

So are Blacks.

Blacks hate the gays and trannies. They attack and burn them. Blacks got gay marriage barred in California. Blacks love Jesus and all that shit.

Know what blacks vote for? More handouts. Know what spics vote for? More handouts.

Isn't like half of the population of the US on welfare? I have heard even larger statistics if you take account people who are part of the bureaucracy and the military (or benefit indirectly from them). Handouts seem to be a fundamental part of your economic system.

You can try reading a dictionary.

short answer anyone in south America other then brazil

I'm an Anthropologist. Races don't actually exist as a definitive description. They are stereotype-based and don't actually meet any scientific integrity of application.

Are you the chick from Bones?

This and Latino/Latina is all the Spanish and Portuguese descended peoples mainly languages derived from latin

Probably, yeah.

Democrats discovered:

1. You can bribe voters with taxpayer money.
2. Shitskin immigrants don't care about the future of our country, they just want money.

With this, they have the perfect model to always win: Just keep holding the doors open and giving out handouts.

Weird. I took some biological anthropology classes in university and they openly admitted to race being a thing and discussed the genetic basis for it.

Here, have an anthropology professor talking about it:

youtube.com/watch?v=c4cxOT8Kd7U

That's seems totally illogical. The sheer amount of genetic variation should be enough to categorize people with shared, and definitive characteristics. Sapiens and Neanderthals are known to have interbred but we classify them distinctly.

>because you cunts are dumb, you assume that people from Spain are brown
After getting raped by arabs for 800 years, its not a bad assumption, my black portuguese friend

Races in general use function as stereotypical generalizations of huge populations. They don't have borders though. Races overlap and stop making sense as you try to define where they start and end. The current nomenclature is to use clines, which describe physical features rather than generalizations.

Yes, but you can say the same thing about species.

Race is technically an outdated term. Haplogroups with different characteristics exist but race is a poor descriptor.

Actually, I prefer the term "Latinex"

Indeed you can, and species is also facing scientific issues as well, especially when defining creatures of the past that are long-dead. Species has a very strict need to have the population be unable to breed with other similar populations. We can't observe or predict this in ancient populations. This is why in human bio-anthropology, there is a split in beliefs regarding human ancestry over whether all the different "species" are just one, or if they are really spread out and unique in every variation.

The Cubans that stayed in Cuba were black, the ones who left at least the first group were white.

In the USA, Hispanic is a euphemism for mestizo. A mestizo means mongrel descendant of the White (European) conquistadors who race-mixed with the native (Amerindian) indigenous women.
Fun Fact: Hispanics are a new ethno race that was created by race-mixing between Whites and Amerindians. They are neither exceptional, like Whites, or savages, like Amerindians. Hispanics are just mediocre.

everything directly under america

Most Hispanics are descendants of Spaniard and Tropical/Jungle/Subtropical heathens... not savages.

Mexico to Southern Chile, there were hunter-gatherers but most were civilized or were horticulturalists. They were closer to barbaric than savage.

But, species is real. The differences between a lion and tiger are factual and undeniable, even if the lines become blurry in specific instances.

It's the same with race.

It's the same with colors on spectrum.

What about cajuns and maplefrogs?

Neither hispanic nor latino mean what they should mean.

/thread

that's an hispanophone.

Hispanic is a word like Germanic, Celtic, Turkic, Italic, Romantic.

No, because the people who talk about species are biologists, i.e. real scientists, unlike anthropologists, who are a bunch of cucked faggots.

Except it isn't. Species is real, yes, but as I said it has a strict definition regarding the ability to breed. Horses and Donkeys are not the same species because they cannot produce viable offspring. Race has no such definite boundary. Race can be loosely defined, but you cannot definitively use it in any useful way as soon as you escape the most complete stereotypical representation, and even those in those categories do not have all features of said race category.

it means big mexican dick 4 u.

>Colors overlap and stop making sense as you try to define where they start and end.
>Nobody can pinpoint precisely where yellow turns into green, therefore I conclude red and violet don't exist.
pro tip: race is synonymous with population

Except that you can define colors strictly by their wavelength. The general usage has limitations, and that's why there are whole studies into colors and their usage, but that's why I brought up Clines. Race is too general to really apply properly in any real sense. It doesn't have a strict set of definitions. It can give a very general sense, but has no absolute predictive quantities.

It's like anglo but for Hispanics.

Lots of "latin americans" don't like the word because it infers "colonial blood."

Many choose "latino" instead because they hate Spanish, think Spaniards were dicks, are non-Spanish European ancestry, or are black.

>as I said it has a strict definition regarding the ability to breed.
They don't just stop their ability to breed from one day to the next, idiot. It gradually changes and takes a long time. If the negroid population were kept segregated for the next twenty thousand years, they wouldn't be able to reproduce with whites.
Even now, children of mixed race will die younger, are more likely to have birth defects, allergies, genetic diseases, bad teeth and mental illnesses.
The worst thing you can do for your child is make them mixed race.
pic very much related

For all of our logic and rationality, nature is still just a series of 1's and 0's. Giving the same thing another name doesn't really change anything.
