    Default Did you know that not all Spainsh speaking people

    are Mexican? Do you know this? Cause the History channel, VH1 and E! don't know this and it pisses me off to no end!

    On the History Channel they were doing this documentary where this "scientist" a person whom you would think has an education was in Puerto Rico speaking about the natives and yet he kept saying "the native Mexican people" ok what fucking college did this idiot go to?

    On VH1 if you are going to make fun of someone please make sure you have the correct culture and people because it isn't fair to say "they don't mess around in Mexico" when you are speaking of a show in Peru.

    E! ahh the crap channel, yeah when you are going to show a clip of a show from courts and say "In Mexico this court show..." hmmm jack ass lets see how about the people who edit the shows say "hey are we sure it's Mexico?" or use this invention called a computer where you can search on the internet about a show which btw is taped in MIAMI UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! Don't just assume that only Mexican people are the ones who speak Spanish. It pisses me the fuck off!

    I actually wrote to E! last night cause I've had it!

    Sure here is the email...

    I know that your network is not based on prestige, respect and obviously intelligence since you decide to air a show with information that is completely false. As I got ready for bed and made the choice to view your channel about a show doing commentary of Court Shows you show a clip of Caso Cerrado and the announcer says "Off to Mexico.." hold up, what? did anyone bother to learn that this show was taped and aired in freaking Florida? United States of America, obviously no! What is it that all Spanish speaking people come from Mexico? Well let me educate you people, NO, not all people who speak Spanish come from Mexico and it would be nice if someone, anyone who edits, reviews and decides to air the shows would have the brain to ask "hey are we sure this is from this country?" It really ticks me off because you are not the only ones who have done this, reputable networks with an actual value for the brain like the History Channel has done this and it's starting to piss me off. Simple solution, ask, do research and oh I don't know not assume that one language belongs to one freaking country. Oh and for your information if you look it up on Google, yet another simple thing that can be done, you will see where the show is taped, aired and shown. It's taped in Miami, FL and if you go to Telemundo you will be able to see that.

    And all Russian and Ukrainian women are mail order brides and whores!

    I agree, as a person who began to speak Spanish before english, I grew up with other refugees from places such as El Salvador, Nicaragua, etc. I love the diversity of the spanish and latino cultures!

    In Texas this stereotype is very common amongst small minded people; you are either white, black, or Mexican. I get asked if I'm Mexican all the time.....

    ^^The only reason I avoid that question is because I'm so freakin pale! But I agree, it's like nobody has ever seen a Latino from another country of origin around here.

    That is one of my pet peeves as well and I'm glad you're calling them out on it, HHL! I hate it when public stupidity makes it on the air.

    Ugh, this irritates me to no end...um, hi guys, there are 27 different countries in the Latin world, and not ALL of them are called Mexico dumbasses! My favorite one I ever heard was:

    <guy> Where are you from?
    <girl> Honduras
    <guy> Oh....so what part of Mexico is that in?


    Oh, and don't forget, all of them are Mexican AND illegal!

    Lulz, nah. It's pretty obvious what I am. I don't even get mistaken for being African or anything. Not even West Indian. People ask me about my pointy nose though and then I get to tell them my cute story about how the Irish got in my blood.

    My Puerto Rican friend says Mexican girls here hate her.

    Name all the 27 countries of the Latin world?

    Do tell, and post a photo of your pointy-nose, I've never quite noticed it being particularly pointy.

    Some people are ignorant. Latino is the proper term for spanish speaking people.

    My Afrocentric sister-in-law studies "Black Mexico" and she states that the ancient Olmec culture left its genetic stamp there (see photo)...

    May I muddy the waters further and reference the "Black Latinos" in Belize, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, etc?

    That'd be me.

    I love how EVERYONE assumes I'm Dominican because I have brown skin. Um, no dear, not all Puerto Rican's are J.Lo's color. Thanks. In fact, I would argue that there are just as many dark Latins as there are white skinned Latins, but everyone just assumes they're African American until of course we open our mouths and shock the shit outta ya.

    haha thats american geography for you, the usa is one of the worst 1st world countries with owning a passport. no wonder many people dont know where things are in the world!

    i cant wait to backpack south and central america next year, the spanish i learnt in school (mexican native speaker) is VERY different to the spanish my friend learnt from an argentinian native speaker... and extreamly different again from the year spanish lesson i did have with a spanish from spain speaker. i cant wait to experiance all the other dialects and crazy language slang.

    i swear we will end up doing a mexican road trip to find 'la boca del cielo' hehe (from y tu mama tambien)

    My Spanish teacher was talking about this yesterday. She is Cuban, and she is white. She was complaining about how when she has to fill out forms, what box does she check? She is hispanic, but she is white as well. Why can she have only one choice? Her race is white, her ethneticity is hispanic. She complained that not all Hispanics are dark skinned. She said in some parts of Mexico, they are blonde haired, blue eyed.
    She also said that she gets hell all the time for being a white Cuban, because many people think all Cubans are black.

    I know how you feel. I'm half Japanese, and too many people fall for the pan-Asian bullshit. Don't even get me started on how we're portrayed in the media.
