But what makes them 'latin' is the language.
Latino's descended from the Spanish people.
Indigenous peoples living in these 'latin' countries did not.

Agree. Would have no problem if they had their own theme park and turned over "authority" to them to run it as they see fit, but don't forget the Shoshone & Arapaho (for at least portions of Idaho & Wyoming).

Before you know we'll ALL be latino..........this has gotten funny. Wonder if Ireland, is still Irish. If they get a park, I'm sure the Irish would like a pub!!

Won't ever have to worry about moving to Idaho, b/c NO ONE is ever taking over Texas. That's all hogwash and mishmash. And better yet, they want to assimilate more than "we" know, hence the reason they're coming here, so there really is nothing to fear.

For those who commit crime, they do it there, here, and anywhere else they would be...b/c they're criminals.

Only if they are from central & south America.

If they are from Europe they are Latin.

Oh, OK, gotcha.

Europeans are Latino.
I guess that makes Americans whose forefathers immigrated from Europe all Latino.

Pretty soon we will need a theme park for the uber minority of Americans who classify themselves as Americans.

Busch Gardens isn't a NATIONAL park under the authority of the National Parks Service.

You're so right! Nobody wants to claim being American - it's much more P.C. to hyphenate your ethnicity. Like everyone who comes just plants a flag in the soil and claims their spot. True Americans are a dying breed. And why should people be challenged for stating that they're American constantly? As if it's something to be ashamed about and apologize for.

He can step off his soap box and promote what's already established.
