Damn she ate them as if it were nothing. Those latin genetics showing their effect.
I don't think she has Latin genetics. She's a white girl. The last name "Grande" and her extreme dark tan fools people
shareShe's Italian, so yes, she's Latin.
sharesorry - I was thinking latina
shareAlmost the same thing. My family is Sicilian on one side and Mexican on the other. When the two families would get together, about the only thing they could agree upon is that we were all Latin.
sharelatin - latin american.
i'm italian american, i don't consider myself latin, neither does my family in italy.
"latina" is a town near rome. thats where it ends.
Latin was the language of the Romans. The actor Rudolph Valentino was known as the Latin Lover. Latin has forever been synonymous with Italians. My entire family of Sicilians, as well as all the Sicilian and Italian families with whom we interacted all use the term Latin to mean "of Italian origin."
The term is also used to describe the Spanish-colonized people of the Americas, as their ancestors came from Spain, another Latin country that traces its roots to the same Roman empire as do the modern Italians.
You're Latin, whether you call yourself that or not.
"Latin was the language of the romans"
ok, so? mexicans speak spanish, but they aren't spanish... they are mexican.
i come from the biggest italian america family ever, i lived in italy for 6 years and go back 3 times a year. never ever ever heard of someone call themselves "latin"
the word latin or "latino/a" is to describe some from latin america.
if italians and spaniards are latin, why isn't their music and artists get recognized when they do the latin grammy awards?
you're talking to the most italian person ever! nobody, but nobody calls themselves "latin"
maybe you're confusing a language with a people.
The term Latino (latin) is used to refer to someone from Latin America (Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Central and South America), as well as to people of Latino descent (people with parents, grandparents, etc. who are Latino).
"Hispanic" vs. "Mexican" vs. "Latino" vs. "Chicano ... - SpanishDict
Mexicans are descended from Spanish people, which is why they speak Spanish.
I don't know that you're the most Italian person ever if you've never heard another Italian refer to himself as Latin. It's certainly more of an old-fashioned term, but if you go back to the '60s and earlier, the term Latin was synonymous with Italian.
The Latin Grammys, and the Latin music category, is specific to Spanish-speaking songs from the Latin-American countries. That circles back to my original point: both my Sicilian family and my Mexican family think of themselves as Latin, and both thought of the other side as Latin, too.
you're giving americans a really bad name with the ignorant shit you're writing.
mexicans don't speak spanish because they have spanish origins, they speak spanish because spain with christopher colombus came to what we call the americas now in 1492.
argentines speak spanish right? but most argentines DON'T have spanish heritage, infact more argentines have ITALIAN heritage than spanish.
lionel messi being the most famous. even the current president, milei has italian heritage, so based on your logic, they should speak italitan...
mexicans don't speak spanish, because of their grandparents, they speak spanish because the spanish language was implemented by spanish rule.
i'm not tryina sound like an asshole, but you reallly should educate yourself on some of this stuff.
If my relating facts bothers you, let's drop this. Everything I wrote is verifiably true. You offering a false version of history based on wishful thinking of what you want to be true rather than what is true.
sharethey're not facts, you think mexicans speak spanish because it was a language some spanish immigrants brought over.
you're one of those people that appear on videos on youtube, where when asked name a country, you say "paris"
the level of ignorance in this country is embarrassing.
Shockingly, you're resorting to insults and made-up, straw man attacks.
You believe what you want. You can even continue to make up things I didn't say and attribute them to me. I pointed out that the term Latin has long been used to refer to Italians as well as Latin-Americans. Why this bothers you so much, I don't know, but based on your fairy tale retelling of history, I can guess.
I often identify as Italian American. Mom's 100% & dad's wasp. Never once heard anyone on mom's side claim to be Latin.
Maybe it's true by certain older definitions.
Kind of like how most people in the US consider the Middle East to be its own area when it's technically part of Asia (except for the north African parts).
I'll have to do my own research on this. I'm not against being anything, Latin or otherwise, because you are what you are.
But there are clear differences (not good/bad, not better/worse differences) between what I know of Italian American culture & what most of us think of when we say Latin American or Hispanic culture.
It's more of an old-fashioned thing. The example I gave above is that the Italian-born Rudolph Valentino, perhaps the most famous movie star of his time, was known as the Latin Lover. It wasn't until the Catholics abandoned the Latin mass in the 1960s that the term Latin became less commonly associated with Italians.
From personal observation, my dad's family came from Sicily and my mom's from Mexico. When the two families got together, they disagreed about most everything. The one thing they all did agree on was that we were all Latin.
Today, most people think of Central and South Americans when the term Latin is used.
I see. It's interesting how terms evolve in meaning. I know like 100 yrs ago Italian Americans were considered 2nd class citizens. Woodrow Wilson engaged in very anti-Italian rhetoric. There are political cartoons from back then depicting Italians as rats coming off large boats.
That's funny about your two families getting together & disagreeing on almost everything (except about being Latin).
not one single italian has ever called himself "latin"
filmbuff more than likely could't show you italy on a map.
no matter how many people told him that italians aren't "latin" he'll stick with it.
Very true. A lot has been written about the Japanese who were placed in internment camps during World War II, but Italians were also interred. There's a long history of anti-Italian prejudice in this country that has been forgotten.
sharei don't understand the relation? i'm italian-american. i've lived in italy... southern italian food isn't spicy at all.
the most spicy thing you'll find there is certain salami, maybe like n'duja, but they aren't even as spicy as the first sauce used.
