my family makes jus as much as the median hispanic income
What the hell is hispanic anyway. That term really annoys me. I was labeled hispanic even though I am a direct european decendent and I am a mix of sicilian and spanish. "Hispanics" come in many different colors and it is stupid to label all people from South America with one term. People from Argentina are white. Mexicans are Indians(in general). Then we have the other great term... Latino. A Latino is a Roman decendent from Europe. "Latin Americans ain't "Latinos". The reason people in central and South America are called latino is during Napoleons reign. He used the term to identify the latin (language) speaking Catholic Americas from the English speaking protestant North.
Why does the term hispanic annoy you? People can label me whatever they want... the truth still stands. That's a point I try and make frequently, perception isn't relevant, because the truth isn't changed by perception.You are what you are. It doesn't matter if people call you hispanic, wetback, latino, mexican, beaner, whatever the fuck they want. You are still exactly what you are. They can call you a murderer; but if the truth is you're NOT a murder... then you are not a murderer, regardless of them calling you that.If they call you a hispanic, and the truth is you're not........ why get upset? The truth is still true.
Nobody said the world was fair man, you gotta just ignore that shit. Don't get all bent out of shape about it. I'm not gonna argue if it's discrimination or not with you, it is what it is, like I said no matter what I say about it or you say about it, if it's discrimination, that's what it is. Beethoven wrote a fucking SYMPHONY while he was DEAF. If he can do that, you can rise above somebody writing 'hispanic' on a piece of paper, it ain't shit to you, don't worry about it, just prove the stereotypes wrong if that's what you're up against. Jay Z, the ugliest man alive, is fucking BEYONCE. Come on man, get inspired.
