Mexican 12th December 2010	Ohh dear, poor white population decline? Just try going back 600 years? Do u remember what your forefatehrs did to native indian americans, mexicans in north and south america by spreading DISEASES? oh dear, how do u whites feel when non-whites do same atrocties which your forefathers did on our ancestors? 110 million native americans were killed by invading europeasn terrorsists. 91 million blacks were killed in africa by PEACEFUL CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES. 6 million chinese died of europeans drug imports during 18th centuary to force chinese emperor to surrender business to WHITES. 3.5 million indians dies of artificial famine created by the GREAT WINSTON CHURCHILL during world war by robbing all indian crops and exporting them to UK. Do u think your christ will save u from those sins? nah nah no way. You MUST pay the price for it. Your women will be raped in the same way as u your ancestors raped latin women and throwing their dead bodies into rivers. Your white population will die of similar diseases in large numbers, your kids and brothers will starve to death and drugs will make your sisters hanging hooker bitches to non-white customers. You white bastards are worse than taliban. Taliban kills people openly whereas u bastards kill secretly. GOD will punish you rotten stinky assholes.
whitney 10th June 2010	OMG!!! U.S.A is a very bad example of an up bringing and it's very legal in Nigeria to let your kinds out independently at a particular stage in time and this gives them the opportunity to focus on their future rather than a boy. looking at the U.S pregnancy populations, they are being ignored and pampered alot and the most fatest man ever exist there, if i have my child i would plan a good diet and advice her to be like me cos am a virgin. One thing is that people with teenage pregnancy is likely to find it hard to get the right man for their life and they end up with a bad one becuse, the have misuse their time. So, it's not only the parent's fault, the kid can make the ir decision as well. IF you discipline a child in a good way, the results comes out perfect......THANKS WITH LOVEXXXX

Steven Colosi 14th November 2005	From around eighth grade I have been interested in finding out the way our government groups people into racial categories on U.S. Census forms, State tests, and at the DMV, knowing that Hispanic is not a race and is already aforementioned on the forms. There seems to be many lacks of understanding on some and I am going to make it my sole duty to bring awareness to this politically sensitive matter. I support adding 'Mediterranean and Middle Easterner' to the application form. The system is so screwed up that everyone from countries east of the Middle East is considered Asian despite the fact that people from India are Caucasians and not at all relative to people from China. It is stupid that our government views people of a darker complexion as non-Caucasian and we have all of these Northern Nazi types claiming to be the Aryan race. I am sorry but Aryan people are nothing close to Hitler's description. Iranians and people from the Indian subcontinent are the true Aryans, which doesn't even have a racial reference in their usage. Our government just doesn't have a clue in the world how to identify people and therefore we have people of an “unknown race” because of ignorance. I don't understand why Hispanic shouldn't refer to Portuguese culture instead of just pertaining to Spanish culture especially when their cultures are more related to each other than our government gives them credit for. The definition is no doubt ignorant of that fact. After all they both occupy the same peninsula, which was known as Hispania and is known today as the Iberian Peninsula. The Latins are the ancient ancestors of the Italians whom settle in the region of Italy known as Latium and is now Lazio. However, the Celt Iberians are the ancient ancestors of the Spanish and Portuguese and therefore they are a Celt Iberian people, not a Latin people despite their languages derive principally from their language. If a Latin is a native or resident of ancient Latium, then they aren't a native or inhabitant of Latin America. A Latino is a Hispanic American whereas an Italian or someone of Italian descent residing in America is a Latin-American. However, people from Portugal and Brazil are not Hispanic American considering the definition for Hispanic. I also have found out by curiosity that Ralph Nader is an Arab-American of Lebanese descent. Believe it or not Doug Flutie is also an Arab-American and they are white according to the government. This is why I prefer 'Mediterranean and Middle Easterner' added to the application. Latins, Greeks, Albanians, and Maltese (Mediterraneans) have a lot more in common with North Africans and Middle Easterners than Europeans in terms of culture, music, and history. In addition, Mediterraneans have generally the same complexion as Arabs because of where they live and if I were full-blooded I would have more of an olive complexion even though it is not always true. ~ Steven Colosi

Yahoo! 5th February 2005	Usage Note: Though often used interchangeably in American English, Hispanic and Latino are not identical terms, and in certain contexts the choice between them can be significant. Hispanic, from the Latin word for “Spain,” has the broader reference, potentially encompassing all Spanish-speaking peoples in both hemispheres and emphasizing the common denominator of language among communities that sometimes have little else in common. Latinowhich in Spanish means "Latin" but which as an English word is probably a shortening of the Spanish word latinoamericanorefers more exclusively to persons or communities of Latin American origin. Of the two, only Hispanic can be used in referring to Spain and its history and culture; a native of Spain residing in the United States is a Hispanic, not a Latino, and one cannot substitute Latino in the phrase the Hispanic influence on native Mexican cultures without garbling the meaning. In practice, however, this distinction is of little significance when referring to residents of the United States, most of whom are of Latin American origin and can theoretically be called by either word. ·A more important distinction concerns the sociopolitical rift that has opened between Latino and Hispanic in American usage. For a certain segment of the Spanish-speaking population, Latino is a term of ethnic pride and Hispanic a label that borders on the offensive. According to this view, Hispanic lacks the authenticity and cultural resonance of Latino, with its Spanish sound and its ability to show the feminine form Latina when used of women. Furthermore, Hispanicthe term used by the U.S. Census Bureau and other government agenciesis said to bear the stamp of an Anglo establishment far removed from the concerns of the Spanish-speaking community. While these views are strongly held by some, they are by no means universal, and the division in usage seems as related to geography as it is to politics, with Latino widely preferred in California and Hispanic the more usual term in Florida and Texas. Even in these regions, however, usage is often mixed, and it is not uncommon to find both terms used by the same writer or speaker.
