Un latinoamericano es alguien natural de Latinoamérica, conjunto de los países americanos cuya lengua y cultura son prioritariamente latinas. En ese sentido Latinoamérica es el conjunto de países del continente americano en los que se hablan lenguas derivadas del latín (español, portugués y francés). Un hispanoamericano es una persona natural de Hispanoamérica, que es el conjunto de los países americanos donde el español es la lengua oficial. Así, el término Hispanoamérica se atribuye solo a aquellos países de habla hispana que se encuentren en el continente americano.

[@Lxz3]

@@DesdeLaZona507 por eso se debe decir hispanoamericano e Hispanoamérica porque la mayoría de las veces que alguien lo dice quiere referirse a países de habla y cultura hispanas de América y no a los otros. Algunas veces también se pretende incluir a Brasil en cuyo caso diríamos Iberoamérica, aunque Hispanoamérica también sería correcto teniendo en cuenta que Hispania es como los romanos llamaban a toda la península ibérica y los griegos la llamaban Iberia, así que sería lo mismo. En cualquier caso, Latinoamérica es un término inventado por los franceses en época de Napoleón III en base a sus deseos expansionistas e imperialistas en América y más concretamente en México. Además, Francia como Inglaterra odiaban a España y siempre intentaron destruirla. Es por esas dos razones que decidieron inventar el término Latinoamérica porque así se incluían y de paso borraban el nombre de Hispanoamérica que hace clara referencia a una América hispana donde los franceses no tienen protagonismo, despreciando y desprestigiando a España y a todos los hispanos. Después también Inglaterra, EEUU y otros impulsaron su utilización para seguir despreciando a España y a todos los hispanos. A EEUU le vino genial porque se apropió del nombre de todo un continente llamándose a sí mismos “americanos” y a “los otros” latinos para diferenciarse ellos, ya sabéis otra “raza” a la que discriminar.

The teaching of Spanish in Philippine schools has long been abolished since 1985 and the country is leaning towards Southeast Asia and as an ASEAN member country Filipinos would rather learn the language of its neighbours predominantly Bahasa Melayu or Malay spoken in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam and Bahasa Indonesia even Thai or Vietnamese. Mandarin is increasingly used by the Chinese diaspora (Local born Chinese) in our region.

@@dennis12dec I support the more languages the better, as it opens more doors. Spanish would be great to learn in the Philippines again, along with Mandarin as a world language. With that said, I would like also more of a promotion for local languages in the Philippines to be encouraged for learning, since Tagalog is also seen as an elitist language over other Filipino languages. Sad, but true, since provincial individuals will even deny knowing how to speak their local language, despite being born and raised for 20+ or 30+ years in the province.

​@@dennis12dec Most Filipinos don't have recent Chinese grandparents or great-grandparents that would've warranted us to learn to speak Mandarin. A genuine Filipino Chinese does and won't speak Mandarin, but Hokkien. If you think learning Mandarin would give local Filipinos an employment opportunity in an illicit manner, you will be wrong because job positions related to POGO are mostly filled in by mainland Chinese or Vietnamese migrants in our country who are working clandestinely. If you learn to speak Mandarin, you won't be embraced by both mainland Chinese and Taiwanese as brethren because they are so racist that they will judge your looks if you are working with them as a rank-and-file employee and try to court their owners' daughters, you will be fired from your job. It's better to learn Spanish because Filipinos aspire to become like Spanish-speaking hacienderos, not Chinese-speaking mercantes, and the qualify of life in Spain and Latin America is comparable with our country that you won't be arrested without notice for speaking out against their governments, unlike in China where if you post something on FB against the CCP China government, you will be denied from entering mainland China as a tourist, so come to think about it.

Spanish is ALSO an ‘adopted’ language of 20 other countries that were oppressed and heavily exploited by Spanish colonists. More than half of their indigenous peoples were annihilated either by genocide or of diseases from Europe that they do not have natural immunity from intentionally or unintentionally brought by the Spanish colonists. Guess what? They still speak Spanish alongside with their indigenous languages nowadays. 🥴 It is also forecasted that the US will become the next largest Spanish-speaking country in the next 20-30 years. It’s very evident even in my own personal experience and observation. More than half of our colleagues and clients here in the US are from the bilingual or Spanish-only demographic. I guess more than half of the new generation Spanish-speaking Filipinos learn the language for the high-paying jobs in the BPO sector making more money than the English-only Filipinos. This also levels off the competition with Spanish-speaking expats living in the Philippines for the same job opportunities and pay. Just FYI, the country who brought English to the Philippines commited atrocities and mass genocide in the early days of the occupation.
