ChrisL 2 #28 May 5, 2005 No worries man, he had the wrong continent anyway :-) Portuguese is the primary language spoken in Brazil, but polotically speaking they are not connected to Portugal. Technically, a person from Brazil is not Portuguese, the are Brazilian. I'm not Brazilian, I'm Portuguese, but only from an ethnic/racial point of view.

No offense taken though, it's all gravy Did you not see all of my laughing faces after the mad one......that usually means joking right? Dude Spanish is not a color. Actually from the sound of what you're saying you don't even sound Spanish. Lets take this from the top for some simple basics. Latin refers to languages that descend from Latin. That means French, Spanish, Italian, and Portugese. As opposed to Teutonic (English, German, Swedish, Dutch, etc). Or maybe Slavic (Russian, Polish, Cech, etc). White is like slang for Caucasion referrring to people West of the Caucus mountains, Spain is included. Aside from that a matter of common sense will help. For instance you can't look at some Mexican Inca and a Spaniard and not see the difference. They look difference because they are of different races. When people hear my name they assume I am Italian because my name is more popular among Italians and Italians look the same because they are of my same race, Caucasion or white. If my name was Cheng they would ask where I got that name, they wouldn't think I was Chinese. If my name was Tyrone they wouldn't think I was black and if my name was Brian they would ask if I spoke Gaelic. Back to the whole color think. Its just so funny how short-sighted people can be. I mean going by the logic often used in this arguement that because they all speak the same language they must be the same. Then the blacks in Haiti are one race with the French. And the blacks in the Bahamas are the same race as the British all all the other British Islands. Oh and then the Philipinos as Asian as they are, now are Spanish. Wait there are people even clueless enough to suggest that now.If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass. Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound. Nothing to eat, no books to read. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steel 0 #37 May 5, 2005 QuoteDude. I honestly found your information to be very interesting and cool I didnt know any of that stuff. I think you might have overreacted though Yeah I can see why it would come across that way. Its just that when you're used to people expecting you to want to go to a pizzeria and then suddenly they hear your last name and expect you to give them some taco recipe, it begins to get old. Now if they would atleast get it right and ask me for some Spanish Paella or Cuban pastries it would be cool. Unfortunately though I would have to tell them that you can't get any in Texas and that nobody's touching my reserves that I stock up with every time I go to Miami or Jersey.If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

OrangeJumper 0 #41 May 5, 2005 Uh....whatever dude, relax cool breeze, everything will be ok. Yes, FYI, I am Spanish. Do you think I'm trying to be cool and tell people I am Spanish when I'm not? Seriously, if you are going to react like that, take it somewhere else. If you haven't noticed, most of the stuff I was typing was jokes. I really don't need to be given a history lesson.
