b,121b,121b,121 b,121b,121I'm always up for talking about Spanish / North African hanky panky. They were called the 'Moors' for a jolly good reason you know, what, what.

b,121b,121b,121b,121maybe yall should should start to call it spainish.b,121b,121in america if one is speaking spanish and you dont know where exactly they are from...you are now known as that spanish dude..or chic.b,121b,121ok ok ...explain the term hispanic.b,121b,121and if the term "latin" is correct when describing, say the woman on the train who may not be from spain...where does that lead us, seeing that people in spain all spoke latin prior to spanish ?

b,121b,121I don't know man, around here using the term "spanish" or "mexican" in said circumstance is looked upon as about equally ignorant.

b,121b,121b,121I think "we" (not that I can really speak for the whole of Euroland) will stick to the original meaning. It makes more sense for European people to equate a Spanish person as being a person from Spain, plus there aren't a lot of South and Central Americans in Europe. b,121It's Americans who have re-contextualised it, as you have done many other English words. Which is perfectly natural, but it's definitely up to yall to come up with a acceptable alternative.

b,121b,121I just wanted to sidestep the race conversation and point out that this was the, apologies, icing on the cake for me. I give this thread five stars.

b,121b,121i played soccerballen on the beach in Spain with a group of 4 Guatemalan cats. i got along better with them than any other Spanish cats named Mary-O while i was there... Not to mention i randomly bumped into Quim Cardona and Kenny Hughes earlier that day.
