Why Is Shakur Stevenson Claiming He's Latino Now?

[Marchegiano]

That **** worked. I was not paying attention, he said he's one of my peoples, now I'm paying attention.

[garfios]

1st a Latino is from brazil, belize, or portugal. Latinos don't speak Spanish. It's a term stolen by white racist ********. Being from pr or dr, makes you hispanic. Or any other spanish speaking country. It's called Latin America because of the kingdom of Portugal who ruled it.

Actually Spanish speaking people are considered Latinos. Both languages, Portuguese and Spanish derived from Latin, are concerned Romance. And most of the new world were conquered by Spain.
And portugal was part of Galicia that belonged to the kingdom of Leon.

Kay, I'll explain.

Hispanic = Language

Latino = Geography

Puerto Ricans speak Spanish and so are Hispanic

Puerto Ricans are from the Latin America, yes the Islands count, and so are Latino

Filipinos may speak Spanish and so may be Hispanic Filipinos.

Filipinos are not from Latin American and so are not Latino.



edited because my dumbass forgot an O.

F Stevenson he block me on twitter for telling him "you're never going to break Floyd american record of 50-0 figthing every 5 months at 22 years old

I seen Shakur Stevenson making the rounds letting everyone know he is Puerto Rican, He has been in this sport on the main stage for years now and never once mentioned it but now all of a sudden he wants a Valdez fights and now claims he is Puerto Rican,,, for that Mexican vs Puerto Rican sell.

I find it strange and how you think the puerto rican people will take it? A person who never claimed his was puerto rican until the moment he can get some benfit from it now he wants to be proud of his heritage.

More like he was always puerto rican but ashamed of it,

[LeOoze]

David Benavidez just started repping his ecuadorian heritage.

bro I thought he was full mexican for the longest...that's all he would talk about

Kay, I'll 'splain.

Filipinos are not from Latin American and so are not Latin.

Y'all got it now?

That seems to make sense.

This is just sad if he's going for that angle. He's desperate for a fan base so will whore himself out. Maybe Charlo will come out as Japanese and Wilder will finally admit he's a zombie from out of space like we know he is. But don't forget Tank, he's Brazilian didn't you know.

Wrong. Latinos and spanish are 2 different groups of ppl. Latinos don't speak Spanish naturally unless taught. Ask one from of the 3 countries I mentioned. They are just as annoyed as I am.

To get famous. Remember a fighter nicknamed "Russian Mexican" ?
