wait, wait, wait, Im confused
who said they wanted to be latino
ok im from the island of turks & caicos
& many times Dominicans will come on our island
does that make them now Turks Islanders too?

im so use to seeing them on our island walking around like no one can't say nothing to them. and we don't ! but im jus wondering, even if there making babys with our island's men does that give them even more of a reason to call themselves "turks islanders"?

im just wondering
im not taking like the haitians side or whatever im really not
but it jus seems as if just because of where they come from, they get treated like they don't matter.

there like some of the smartest people you can meet.

so i guess if they are just trying to be part of the "cool cultures"
that's some messed up crap because you will find black americans claim there selves as being haitian.

but because their from America and there so important no one will really have anything to say to them but when a person like a haitian ask a question like does it make them latino that there on a spanish island or whatever that makes them like "wana-b's"

The topic is: sir how is haiti a latin country
This is a reply to Msg 7099

When you were growing up and went to school, if you have gone to school that is... Did you read and learn from the books that everyone else did? If so, you too have already been educated by what you refer to as "The White Man". So, pretty much all > >

omg you are so stupid, Latino is just a term for being mixed, it's being mixed with both white and black and other nationalities. Dominican republic and Haiti use to be one island meaning they are the same whether they decide to chose black or latino > >

I cannot believe this argument is still going on. 1. Be careful, there's Wikipedia which tends to have more valid information and than there's Wikianswers which tends to be full of junk. Information on both of these can be misleading, but most of > >

Before Haiti and Dominic Republic were split into two different countries, they were one country known as the Island of Hispaniola. Even though the Americans do not teach it to be a Hispanic country, historically speaking it is. Then it was invaded b > >

Puert Rico, DR ans Cuba are Central Latin America 'caus ethey speak a language derived from Latin. Make sense? Jamaica is in Latin America but is not Latino 'cause they don't speak a Latin derived language. > >

Some one asked me once if Haitians were considered Latino. I’m Haitian-American and I’ve always thought about whether or not I fit into that group of people. I’m always hearing people say (mainly Dominicans and Puerto Ricans) that Haitians... > >

Jeffrey, if I remember this debate right, you seem to have completely miss-understood the argument. The argument was not about who is Latino, but who lives in Latin America. Two totally different points. "Latino" is an American word that designates a > >
