Is Alberto Fujimori mixed? How about Antanas Mockus, former mayor of Bogota? I could go on..............


You are just straight-up wrong.

You must be latino, so let me say this thread isn't to offend you but to have you understand we are one in the same!
Thanks for letting me know you are not trying to offend me. I just can't understand what you are saying. I don't think we are forming a race at all; I don't see the term Latino as describing any specific race. That is how a 100% ethnic Japanese such as Fujimori and a 100% Lithuanian such as Mockus still belong,,,,,,,,

I wish we were one and the same, but neither the Mexicans/Central Americans nor the white-appearing Cubans or Argentines show any kinship with my nappy-headed self..............

What about the African looking Panamanians and Dominicans in the U.S, do they feel racial kinship with you ?

You have Panamanian, Ricans, Guyanese, Brazilians, Cubans and Dominicans that do.. if someone would call someone from one of those countries black, the person more than likely would express disgust and say they're Latino/Hispanic. This shows they see their race as Latino/Hispanic.

What are you BTW?
