This whole black pride is bullshyt, gay pride is also bullshyt, white pride is also bullshyt, mongole pride is also bullshyt.. Humans and their silly labeling of everything!!
I'm tired of racism.. Seriously!!
The only thing we should be really proud of is the culture and the achievements of the place we come from. Not something so stupid as the amount of melanin in your skin.

You know, I just left from hanging out with some Cubans and it dawned on me that they don't consider themselves white.
Only the US Census considers most Cubans and Mexicans white. Same for Northern Africans and Arabs.
You asks those people are they white, they'll laugh at you.
It's to boost the white census number.

Most people don't understand the difference between Race and Ethnicity, so I expect them to disagree.

The black Cubans always know that. I am married to one. He always says he is black and actually hates the "hispanic" label because he says it erases his identity as someone who is of African descent, and makes it as if his motherland is Spain instead of Africa.
But I guess it really depends on the person. As you know, "mejorar la raza".
hispanic was never a race or even ethnicity, it's a CULTURAL DEMOGRAPHIC. what people in that demo want to think of the term is irrelevant. you can't make a group of people who are various races into one race.

Well then they have to add more racial categories so that the Hispanics check something.
I was watching an NBC Nightly News report on ISIS and it got me thinking Middle Easterners might have a similar problem as the hispanics.
They definitely ain't Black, White, Pacific Islander, Asian or American Indian...
edit: are Brazilians Hispanic??

shyt complicated, b
"The way they are labeled most of the time in the US is totally wrong. If Brazilians are “latinos” because of the language root then you will have to include French, Portuguese, Romanians and Italians. Brazilians do not feel comfortable to be called latinos or hispanic as suggested, this is non sense at all.
Why Canada, Quebec, specifically is not part of Latin America? Good question eh? Brazilian culture has nothing to do with Hispanic or the so called “latino” culture. Very distant from such cultures."
