As a white person who lived on the eastern side of Los Angeles in a majority Hispanic town, I never knew how strongly Hispanic culture has become a part of me until I joined the military and left home. All our neighbors are Hispanic and my Mom has learned to cook some great tasting Mexican food over the years. So when I joined the military and went to boot camp I nearly starved. I am not exaggerating the food was so bland in boot camp, I had to force myself to eat it. I left boot camp thin as a rail. As the military moved me around the US from one duty station to another, one of the first things I would do is seek out the best Mexican food nearest base. There are other qualities of Hispanic life I love, the music, the sense of family, etc. But now that I am out of the military, I don't think I could ever live in an area where there are not plenty of Mexican restaurants.

[@aldridkg]

Except there’s no such thing as hispanic culture. That’s like saying European culture. People from Columbia have nothing in common with people from Argentina, people from Puerto Rico, have nothing in common with people from El Salvador, etc. Latin America is a geographic location, like Europe, consisting of many different sovereign nations, each with their own histories, cultures and customs. Even the Spanish spoken is different. In example, if I said, hey, let’s go out to eat European food, what exactly would that mean to you? Similarly, when people say Hispanic or Spanish culture, it really doesn’t mean anything.

[@aldridkg]

@Carlos Andrade That is just not accurate. Australians and Canadians speak English, yet their culture, customs and history is complete different from Americans. This is a fact, not an opinion, which is based on historical records and cultural customs. Moreover, India has two official languages, English and Hindi. Now, who would seriously claim that the English speaking people of India have anything in common with Americans, Australians and Canadians? Mexico is a sovereign nation with a rich culture and unique customs and history, which is completely different from every other country in Latin America. Allowing others to “dilute” your unique culture, history and customs by lumping all of it into some ignorant and lazy generalization is not really doing you any favors in the long run. Think about it for a second, why is it that when people come to the US from Europe, they are identified according to the country they are from, yet when people from Latin America come here, they’re not afforded the same respect and courtesy? To reiterate, you’re missing the big picture here.

Something else I’d like to add to your comment, “as a white person…” The northern part of the Americas was not the only place that white Europeans colonized. Therefore, white people actually exist outside of the US and Canada, just like black, Asian and native people.

I first became aware of the influx of Hispanics here in South Carolina in the early 90’s . The response of the locals was pretty negative which came as no surprise since any kind of change is viewed as “bad”. Due to the job I had at the time I had a good bit of interaction with our new neighbors. I learned that for the most part these folks were family oriented and hard working. Their arrival kind of saved our only Catholic Church as the normal congregation of mostly transplants from northern states was aging out. Fast forward to today and I now have a Hispanic son in law that my daughter met while she was living in Burbank. His family is an amazing group of people that I am proud to be related to. Thank you so much for this video.

"Hispanic culture" is a vague attempt at lumping stereotypes, about as valid/invalid as lumping "American culture" which more polyglot. Mexico alone is not monocultural. Mexico is as polyglot as the US and Spanish is not the home language of many of its indigenous peoples. For many decades, USCBP has struggled to cope with immigrants from indigenous areas of Mexico, and now Central America. Much of Guatemala and much of Honduras is still indigenous regions. Southern Mexico has large areas of indigenous peoples, mostly Maya. Many northern areas of Mexico still have indigenous settlements. Such immigrants require uncommon translators, and such immigrants need to learn Spanish before taking formal ESL classes. Their nature is pleasant and admirable, but they're not clones of each other.

Since moving up to Washington state, finding real Mex. has been a challenge but, amazingly enough, we found one quite near us in a small, little town across the Columbia River called El Tapatio. They make tacos the "correct" way which is to take a fresh tortilla, stuff it with your meat of choice, pin it closed and deep fry it, open it back up and fill in the rest of the ingredients. There simply is no other way to do it, IMHO. This soft taco nonsense is for the birds as far as I am concerned, the same goes with boxed crispy taco shells, I call those "tacoes."

What is bad about classification and protected classes, we forget our common ground as Americans. So, built into the system is devisiveness, not racism. It pulls the populus apart and gives government the advantage and power over us. I believe the point of the January 6th "insurrection" was fueled by that.

As a person of Mexican heritage, I commend the video creator. I do have to comment that not all Hispanics are Spanish speaking. The Hispanics who grew up here have assimilated into American culture like me. The only way I was able to learn Spanish is from high school and from necessity. I dated a girl in high school who was from El Salvador. Her mother didn’t know any English. I learned how to speak some Spanish to win brownie points with the mom.

Thanks for the video. However, please note that being from Latin America or speaking Spanish is not a “race.” That’s the equivalent of saying that everyone who speaks English or lives in English speaking countries are all one race. Moreover, Latin America is comprised of many different sovereign nations all with individual cultures, histories and traditions and also many different races. In other words, a person from Chile and another from Guatemala might both speak Spanish, however, they will both have different cultures, histories and customs. To reiterate, that’s like saying that a person from Australia is the same race and shares the same culture history and customs as someone from the US. In summary, the use of these terms in this country is silly and really not very helpful in educating the public.

[@aldridkg]

I find this whole thing with labeling people who speak Spanish as Hispanics, Latinos, or Spanish really funny. I mean, people who immigrate here from Europe aren’t called just “Europeans” right? No one goes out to eat “European” food right? In example, Mexican food is completely different from Argentine food. Peruvian food is completely different from Columbian food. Same with the cultures and customs. So, I’m not really sure what is the problem with labeling people based on their country of origin, just like it’s done with people who come from every other area in the world, except apparently Latin America.
