Way to shit all over her victory w/out knowing which of the other candidates would do a better job. As usual, you are a real class act.

She laughed and said 'now I understand why you're on that website as much as you are'. Your wife was born in “Cali?" Tell her: ¡Qué chevere y viva el amarillo! ..& ask her: ¿Cual barrio?

Here are my guesses: - He thinks “origin” as it applies to Latina is “ancestry” & not where someone is born or raised. - Or he thinks Latino is a “race,” Which I’m pretty sure it’s not. Am I correct about that? - Maybe he thinks la Presidenta-Electa can only identify as one category. ie: She can’t consider herself Latina, Jewish-Latina, Euro-Mexican, Polish-Mexican [if that is where some of her Great Grand parents are from], Euro-Latina, Polish-Latina, etc... at the same time. It’s my understanding she can be all those things & more. It all depends on her life experience & how she chooses to identify ¿No? --------------------------------------------------- @RSF - Below is a link to a piece from HipLatina.com. It identifies "24 Afro-Latino Pioneers of Latin Music." Q: Do you expect us to believe, none of these folks on are Afro-Latina [or Afro-Latino] because their ancestry is from Africa? That’s what I get from your reasoning that la Presidenta isn’t Latina, due to “...all 4 grandparents [being]...immigrants from Eastern Europe." https://hiplatina.com/afro-latino-latin-music-legends/ - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime keep shitting on la Presidenta, while you offer no other better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother, she is a Latina Latino/a is a very porous cultural signifier. It's not a race where blood relation to Native Americans is necessarily required That's why there's Japanese-Latinos, Afro-Latinos, German-Latinos, etc. There's endless varieties. What makes one Latino/a is that you culturally identify as and practice Latino customs with roots in Latin America (whatever those look like) On 12/1/2016 at 12:26 PM, WyomingCoog said: I own a vehicle likely worth more than everything you own combined and just flew first class (including a ticket for a 2 1/2 year old), round trip to Las Vegas and I'm not 35 yet. When you accomplish something outside of finishing a book, let me know. When's the last time you saw a 2 year old fly first class in their own seat?

Again, I pose the question - if she were born and raised in Egypt, would that make her an Arab? Would being born and raised in Maui make her Polynesian? People are confusing ethnicity with citizenship. RSF, the queen of pissing contests. Dude, nobody f’n cares!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Convert noted it takes a lot more than being highly educated to be a good president. Jimmy Carter had an engineering degree from Annapolis and was versed in nuclear physics, but he couldn’t negotiate himself out of a peanut bag. He didn’t seem to understand economics very well either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, I think it’s been made pretty clear for a long time here that neither Trump or Biden has the required skill set that I’ve mentioned to be good presidents. And it has nothing to do with them lacking PhD’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
