Lol that doesn't mane sense, Boston is NOT a great place to learn about Hispanic culture as a visitor.

There is much Hispanic culture in dense ghettoized americanized pockets. And honestly in *Boston* much of the Hispanic culture where it exist is overwhelmed by local anglophone/francophone/lusophone black tropical cultures. The actual well preserved “Hispanic” culture parts are north/northeast of downtown Boston where visitors do not go. Places like Revere Lynn Chelsea Everett and East Boston. I ranked those in increasing order of tourism likelihood.

But because those areas are places of necessity and urbanites many aspects of Hispanic culture are not as well preserved as I saw in Colorado California and Texas where there's a wider array of Hispanic economic population actions. Hispanic in New England and Boston are some of the poorest and ‘least succeaful’ in the United States. Which severely limits their ability to stay connected and preserve their roots and negatively impacts their representation civically and politically.

If you are purposely using incorrect grammar to indirectly insult me please stop with your rant! Sometimes I overlook punctuation, spelling or don't proofread my post well enough before I submit, and the edit button is sometimes not available. My posts 99% of the time make sense and are free of grammatical errors.

I noticed one of my last posts wasn't clear and concise on the point I was trying to make, and could no longer edit my post.

I've gone back and forth with BBMM for years at this point. I do not think at all he was trying to insult you. That isn't his style.

We were wondering where the person who claimed that Boston was somehow more of a Hispanic capital than Miami. That was out in left field. That wasnt you though.

I don't think my post was in reference to your post- was it? if it was...idk if you can effectively guilt me with grammar. It's a long shot at best.

Hold on my brother- Gone back and forth about what? Hispanics and tourism in Boston?

I don't think so. I think we're probably on the same page. Albeit not a topic I've discussed much

No I meant on many various topics. Wasn’t referring to this topic. Was saying you’re not the type to subtly mock grammar as a way of insulting.

Oh yea.. grammar policing is very 8th grade. This isn't a published work. Would be a lame insult/dig

Charlotte: Mexican - 32.8%
Orlando: Venezuelan - 30.0%
I think Brooklyn Jo would have had a legitimate case about Houston's Hispanic culture if it looked like Phoenix/ San Diego/ San Antonio or even Chicago. But the fact that it's 54.0% pretty much shows that the Mexican culture is not as dominant as some people think it is. Which I think kinda confirms what I said before. People will automatically assume Central Americans are Mexicans based off phenotype.

Real quick. Brazil and Haiti are definitely Latin American nations. But they are not Hispanic nations. If the main language is of a Romance Language in America, you are considered Latin America.
