Right in point. Anyone who would default to the term “Hispanics” when the subject is Latinos in our own hemisphere and Mexico or neighbor to the south shows what an ivory tower and out of touch gold escalator riding politician Trump is. Nuanced but telling to anyone paying attention, although MAGA world doesn’t.
Most of the Venezuelan and Columbian immigrants in my community do not(!) identify as Latino. Same for some Cubans. They identify as Hispanics. Their ancestors came from Spain and nearby European countries. Some draw a very distinct line between their heritage and that of Latinos, who they see as having cultures and heritage dominated by the indigenous cultures grown from the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Incan and the many smaller tribes.
Today’s Hispanics, as a generalization, have remained distinctly separate, with their music, clothing and food still more like Spain’s than, say, Mexico’s. Yes, the Hispanic vs Latino point is one of pride tinged with historical classism racism, much like that of my grandparents who felt superior because of their ~northern~ European roots, but oh oh, not Irish. Smh.
You make good points, thanks. I had never drawn the distinction. So, to clarify, do you see Latinos as Hispanics but not vice versa? Are they culturally/ethnically distinct in a way that garners different labels?
This reminds me of some Fox News coverage during the 1st Trump administration about cutting aid to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, in which Fox News incorrectly labeled them graphically as "3 Mexican Countries".
I am one little person, observing through my volunteering to aid new immigrants. I know what box they check for race/ethnicity. These upper income, educated Venezuelans and Colombians checked “Other” when Latino was the only choice. So, I would say Hispanics and Latinos are culturally/ethnically different. At least to those Hispanics, it’s not an overlap thing. It’s not my line to draw, or even see. My Scandinavian and English grandparents did not think of themselves as related to the southern Europeans of the Mediterranean and Baltic regions.
Like I said, it’s a separation in actual (more recent!) heritage and culture. My grandparents held it as an important distinction because to them it signaled some superiority to the Greeks, Italians, and Slavs. I can only suggest by their demeanor that it’s a similar point of pride, right or wrongly placed, that they are Hispanics, not Latinos.
Thank you for making me realize I’ve been using these terms interchangeably (I had a feeling something wasn’t right, should have dug into that), time to go fix my ignorance 🏃♀️
Our own Adam has had his comment on X about this reprinted in Meidas and NJ.com, and I’m sure other publications. This is from NJ.com (a pretty good source of news, BTW):
“TACO Trump,” (https://apple.news/PQHm2FlgxSINCASbzztDhmZ) he’s being called by Wall Street investors, who are mocking Trump’s tariffs with a devastating acronym: TACO — Trump Always Chickens Out…
“Former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who served on the Jan. 6 Committee, taunted Trump on Twitter/X (https://x.com/AdamKinzinger/status/1927909108310507583): ‘Trump being called a chicken and knowing that will stick means today is the worst day of his life. Right, Taco?’”
How can anybody be afraid of a TACO? Anyone own a embroidery company or a hat shop, you could make a fortune if we could get them in time for TACO 47’s birthday
Love them all!!!! I still can't get over the irony of TACO being the acronym for Trump's new nickname. Mexico must be loving this!
I keep thinking of that lame photo of him eating a taco salad during his first campaign, when he said something lame about how he loves Hispanics. https://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/278896-trump-shares-photo-of-him-eating-taco-salad-for-cinco-de-mayo/
BREAKING:
The Secret Service is requesting people stop ordering taco deliveries to Trump at the White House. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can't wait to wear this TACO shirt 👇🤣

I wish they could have prevented HIM from being delivered to the white house.
Half of Americans ( the ones that make America great) share in your sentiment!!
More than half.

Kinzinger not only knifes Trump, he turns the knife with his ending, "right Taco?"
Whoever it was on Wall Street who originally thought of this, they must be in shock how this has taken off.
Love it all, say LOUDER!!

Bikini Taco. Is he trans?
Like, transported into a new body? No way he looks like that without clothing.
I think that real Trump torso probably has three or four jelly rolls of fat....
Those are great!
The best. Keep the pressure on.
