Whatever. No argument here. It's just what I hear being used and I've read more than once in recent years that it is the preferred choice. There's always a new preference, always something more PC. We have a HUGE, and I mean HUGE Hispanic population in the area. Just going by what's accepted around here. No one wants to dis anyone. It's only done out of respect for others.Smiling JOe said:Preference of whom? Has anyone bothered to ask the Mexicans what name they prefer? Is lumping them into a wider spanning group for our benefit because we never bother to find out if they are from Peru, Mexico, etc? I have never never bothered to ask a "Latino" their country of origin, I just ask, Como se llamo? -- and I get the biggest smile and reply. Treating a person like a person is much more important than which generic group you label them.
Get Fo Real, "White" People!
And, for that matter, I might not be "white" but I sho can get fo real.
