While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.

Continental Americans of Spanish descent were called "Latins" or "Latinos" from "Latin America though that never made much sense to my simple dino mind.
According to Google Translate, they do not say "Quid pro quo" to say "Something for something." That say "Ago por ago."
And that's been going on long "ago" now. So how does that "Caesar"?
I have a tendency to view a different (race) as a species like a Dolphin with self introspective abilities. We don't know if they do but you get the picture as to what a different racial entity would look like and function like.
"many Mexican Americans had traditionally seen themselves as white. "
Mexico and other Latin American countries have people of all "races": European, African, Indigenous, and mixtures of those. They're all Mexican and have a Mexican accept, i.e. that slow cadence and words like "¡aguas!" and "¿mande?". I put race is scare quotes b/c the whole concept is dubious. Someone with origins in Norway is supposedly the same race as someone from Sicily, but if you take the ferry from Sicily to Tunisia, people there are a different race. It's all arbitrary and cultural.
Hispanic is the weirdest one. There are hispanics with very light skin, very dark black skin, and everything in between, all with their regional accents of Spanish.
That is an oxymoron.
There are no politicians on this Earth with high moral integrity. They sell out to the first bidder who offers more power to them.
In many documents now the term is "White Hispanic". They are still differentiated from "White Caucasian"
"“a common struggle to defend the immediate, basic interests of the working class against the bourgeoisie.”
Yeah, we know that crap.
The same slogan that the Bolsheviks used to set the roots of communism.
