Why is it that whites are trying to claim latinos

[BattleHardened]

Martinez is white. That's a fact. Who says I was claiming him?

Ricans are mixed and diverse and now I see your point. You guys the lightest skin color of the carribean.

Cotto is obviously mixed with African ancestry, let it go already

Well, if this means anything

In the 2000 U.S. Census Puerto Ricans were asked to identify which racial category with which they personally identify. The breakdown is as follows: white (mostly Spanish origin) 80.5%, black 8%, Amerindian 0.4%, Asian 0.2%, mixed and other 10.9%. The census results are self-reported, and in Puerto Rico, people would follow the opposite of the one-drop rule, so even though Puerto Rico is largely made of Mulattos, most of them tend to consider themselves either "white" or "black" depending on skin tone.[citation needed]

did you read your own facts before you posted them?

cotto is clearly mixed as are most puerto ricans. no one is saying puerto rico is all black but what they were saying is that most puerto ricans are a mixture of indian, black, and spanish. (like cotto)

then why would robinho and luis fabiano help a guy like kaka against fellows blacks who play for the ivory coasts, because latino is a race, they are all mixed up nobody in the world is mixed up like them

What the hell are you talking about? Nothing you say makes any sense at all. First of all No, Latino is not a race and Robinho and Fabiano will obviously help Kaka because they all play for Brazil.

OH didn't you know? only black people can play sports with other black people and only white people can play with other white people.

...otherwise it creates a black hole (or a white hole depending on the circumstances)

that's why heskey is considered white.

They can not look past skin colour and do not understand its the culture that makes them Latino not the skin colour.

[HELLRAZAH]

who gives a ****

I'm not surpised since Americans wanna confuse PRs with Mexicans LOL, PR is the lightest skin color country in Caribbean. End of story.

You're about as ignorant as it gets. I've read all your posts here and come to the conclusion you are ashamed of Rican's having black blood in them. Just because they are lighter than the other Islands around doesn't mean they are not mixed. We can clearly see that even most of the lighter Ricans don't look 100% hispanic, you can see the black in most of them, especially the hair. And yes the hair does matter. What other people have hair like black people? None. You sound like a Rican wanna be Mexican ashamed of your black side. The end of story is you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

Im white and I would never claim them. You can leave our lands while your at it.

Why don't you leave the native Americans lands?

[mathed]

I don't claim anyone, I know that whites are usually less athletically gifted at sports; not always but on the whole yes. Supporting great boxers who seem to put the sport first and appreciate the fans is a good thing to me and if those boxers are pink with yellow stripes, then that's all good.
