I don't know what's so happy about it. In school they call us Chicanx and Hispanix and the women they call them womxn. We're not allowed to call ourselves indian, we have to say native american.

[@SombreroBeanieHat]

Because Indian belongs to people of India & it would only confuse people when trying to search for Native Americans by typing in Indians.

Latin Americans are a group of diverse communities whose identity coalesces around languages introduced by Iberian colonizers. Although a sizeable portion of this group considers itself "indigenous," many do not speak a non-European language. Latin communities have their internal contradictions revolving around race. The Spaniards often attribute a lower social status to Hispanic groups from their former colonies than their European counterparts, just as the French or the English do concerning speakers from their "former" African colonies. However, unlike the Americas, where only some conservative indigenous groups retain their original languages, many African nations have preserved their original languages.

The video is about Mexican americans not latin Americans not all latinos are Mexicans stop trying to make Mexican culture and history about all latinos or af ricans you all are not even from the continent

[@Lamin_G]

@@lykndeltoro2269 - You complained that the video is not about Latin Americans. From the video: 0:02 to 0:04 The video opens with this: *September 15th marks the official start of **_Hispanic_** Heritage Month in the United States.* So, your *beef is with the video* rather than me. The video presents the Chicano as part of the "Hispanic" diaspora in the United States. - *Logical fallacy:* Nowhere did I say "all Latinos are Mexicans"; you *falsely* inferred it. - You accused me of "trying to make Mexican culture and history about all Latinos." In fact, however, the word "Mexican" does not appear in my original comment! - Where did I make Mexican culture about Africans [not spelled _"Af ricans"_ - learn how to spell]? You must have _confused_ comparisons drawn between "former colonies" of Latin America and Africa with "making Mexican culture about Africans." - We "all" are not from what continent? Speak human!

Art ? Yeah, sure. So was Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner. This crap is no more "art" than the dribblings of Pollock. This kind of "art" Is what people of limited talent do - because they have limited talent.
