I was told recently that I should not refer to myself as Spanish because people from Spain are Spaniards, all other Spanish speakers are Spanish. Ridiculous I say. Using that logic I should be called English because I speak English. And people believe this, I've been told it's because Spain is so 'exotic' so most people know nothing about it and it must be connected to Latin America instead of the other way around. I'm quite sick of people who do not view Spain as a European country. *rant* Exactly, words like Spanish, Spaniard, Iberian, Latin, they all refer to white europeans and white europeans only... the peoples of mixed ancestry are simply mestizos...    One of the pathetic cultural traits :rolleyes: that mestizos inherited from the negro was stealing white cultural identities as their own... :mad:    Something similar happens with the brasilians and portuguese, brasilians thinking their bastardized language is somehow better than real portuguese... it pisses me off seeing a web site that implements a brasilian language :rolleyes: interface before implementing a portuguese one...    Only because of the hordes of negro brasilians that spit the language :rolleyes: I'll go for quality over quantity every time ;)
