Search Results: different ethnicity

Just curious since I see a lot of rants on the internet about how people keeping on have this misconception that Hispanic/Latino is a race or even an ethnicity. I've read some ignorant comments on the internet (particularly from Yahoo! Answers) about how the vast of Hispanic/Latinos are basically "just White/Caucasian/European people who were born and grew up in a Spanish-Speaking country and speaks completely fluent Spanish".

As an American who grew up with a Hispanic/Latino family (from from Chile), I never once thought of myself culturally the same as White Europeans or White people from the US. Hispanic can technically be of any race but culturally, I still think we're different from the Europeans. I suppose what do you call the people in the US who are brown-skinned with a Mexican or Guatemalan background that doesn't speak any Spanish at all if by your logic, Hispanic is strictly just a linguistic group and not an ethnicity or race?

the US government and social media?

The US government and social media like to make all the negative things that happen somewhat rarely, sound worse than it really is. They do their best to tear all of it's own country down by dividing all races/ethnic groups, genders, sexual orientations and religious groups.
White people and Non-white people (Black people in particular) need to stop perpetuating the racial hate between each other and allow themselves to be manipulated by the social media and government.
Men and women need to stop bashing each other and have this beliefs that the world revolves around them and their own gender problems, especially here on GAG. Both men and women need to learn how to hold themselves responsible for their own actions and choices and not pull the gender victimhood card when things don't always go their way.
Religious people need to learn how to speak their minds, follow the newer and more modern version of their beliefs and stop acting so self-righeous towards others with different religious beliefs or non-religious people.
Straight people needs to stop judging and harassing homosexuals and let them live their lives the way they want.

I know it's never an obligious for any of us to get along with everyone by as an American of Latin American ethnicity, I'm fed up with all the negative bullshit that I constantly here on the social media in my own country and do my best to get out to the real world more often than staying at home on the computer only to hear more negative bullshit. I live in the US of A, a country that is suppose to be a peaceful, diverse, melting pot, not a hateful white supremacy or black supremacy or man's country or any of that crap. We should all learn how to be postive and stop blaming your own inadequacies on other groups different from you.

To all the GAG users that are American military service members, I certainly hope the majority of you feel the same way as how I'm feeling about all the negativity that constantly happens in our own country.
