The history of Hispanic Heritage Month

[@matthewj23]

Why do they always have white people describing us?

[@1rens123]

Because a subset of you all desperately want to be white so bad

[@JasperTomo]

Because they can

This is not laino America

As l am a first generation American from both parents being from Spain and my father having fought in the Spanish Civil war l am offended by the use of a word that is supposed to include Spain. Heck the word Hispanic itself comes from Spain. But since America insists on excluding Spain in its celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Then please change the name to what is really is 100% about, Latin American Heritage month, and stop treating the motherland, Spain as if it doesn’t exist

I disagree. Hispanic is the right term, as the common culture and language that unite all these counties is Spanish... beautifully mixed and integrated by the way with many native cultures and languages from pre-Columbian times. Un saludo.

@@SpanishatOmni Yes l agree it is the correct use. That was not what l was saying. If we are to use Hispanic Heritage month then the people of Spain must be included in all aspects of the celebration, not just the Latinos. Since it has become only a celebration of the Latino heritage then l feel it is appropriate to stop using Hispanic and use only Latino Heritage for that is what it has become only about Latinos!

Los países hispanos somos hermanos, y este mes debe ser para celebrar toda la herencia hispana en Estados Unidos, sin importar de qué lado del océano provenga uno No hay que ceder un centímetro, y hay que pelear contra el mito de la "latinidad", un término geopolítico que tiene más relevancia a partir de ser objeto de interés de Francia, Inglaterra y Estados Unidos Por el Mes de Herencia Hispana

[@FrankCruz-y9o]

Agreed.

[@FrankCruz-y9o]

This month is mostly about Mexican culture and very little of the rest.

Congratulations, you’re Hispanic. Two months that step on Asian American month in October now. Just enjoy your September. Now let’s move on.

[@SpanishatOmni]

The right term is Hispanic, for those countries that speak Spanish and enjoy its cultural influence (Latino includes other languages).

I guess more Hispanic Americans will be applying for dual citizenship this time of year.
