The term Latino used by treacherous self hating Hispanic Progressive Organizations is a Racist term. The word Latino is the Spanish/Italian pronunciation of the word Latin. So called Hispanic civil rights groups use this term to describe the community. However, by doing so they are accepting inferiority status. By using the Latin term instead of it’s English version they are saying that Hispanics can’t speak English. An example of this would be German Americans calling themselves Deutsche American. In essence they have accepted White Progressive racist attitudes about Hispanics, that they we are too dumb to learn English.
The term Latino is also used wrong big time. Latino means Latin. The term Latin goes beyond Spanish Speakers. Italians (The Original Latins), Portuguese speakers, French, Romanians and Filipinos are all Latin peoples. Just as there is a Latin America, there’s also a Latin Europe . In Fact Latin America is just a cultural extension of Southern Europe. The term Latin is like saying Semite or Germanic, it can include many related cultural and linguistic groups. The three greatest Latin powers were The Roman Empire, Spanish Empire and Napoleonic France. Napoleon was Corsican, so he was really Italian. He rightfully viewed himself as an heir to the Romans.
So these so called Latino leaders are self hating and exclude our cousins. In short, the term Latin is not the same as saying Hispanic. Spanish people are a subgroup of Latins. Hence not all Latins are Hispanic.
This is another example of Progressive racism and how they twist terms for political purposes. In short, I’m proud of being a Hispanic-Italian Latin. I’ll say Latino, Cuando hablo Espanol!
Update: Below is a statue in Rome of the She wolf God sent to take care of Romulus and Remus. The Twins founded Rome and the Latin Culture.
