Why is it that whites are trying to claim latinos

[Phenom]

No. You really do not get it. Sergio Martinez is pure 100% Castillian. His DIRECT ancestors COME FROM SPAIN. Sergio Martinez LIVED(ES) in MADRID, SPAIN. Why? Because his parents are FROM THERE.

I don't give a **** what you have to say about Mexico or some of the other South American countries, but you can't claim Argentina as being descendants from ****** and crap like that. THE VAST MAJORITY are IMMIGRANTS from ITALY AND SPAIN.

Don't be an uneducated person with an inferiority complex. You're like a Latino ****e Lee (trying to claim Italians as having a connection/roots with blacks and/or claim them/their culture as blacks' own), only you're trying to lump ALL South Americans together as ONE People. Horse ****. Study up on Argentina for one. And take a look at Sergio Martinez. He's a ****ing Caucasian to the bone. I could go out and get a tan and change my last name to Rios and still people would have no problem identifying me as a white dude - same thing with Sergio Martinez. He's unmistakably white, culturally, racially, however you want to spin it dude.

damn you really passionate about this.

ok you can have Martinez but we get calzaghe

First of all, go back and read my comments I never said anything about Sergio being one race or another. Since none of us personally know his family I think we should leave that to his parents. I'm not claiming Italians as anything I just simply stated what was once popular opinion by most whites that Italians were not "white enough". I don't know about you but I'm from South America born and I know enough to tell you that most South Americans are Carrib Indian/African descent. Yes some europeans came over and forced the natives off their land but unless they resisted the urge to mix blood with the navies for hundreds of years then they ain't pure white either. Why don't you take your own advice and read up on South America because I know my history.

Cool I was just stating facts anyway. Did you know that long ago when Italians were viewed as a minority in America there was a government conspiracy to sterilize Italian-Americans to keep them from reproducing in America? Read up on the American Eugenics in 1927 movement and you will see that Italians really have just been accepted as being white. But I guess if you are that proud of it I will call you white. What is white anyway, if people can be voted in and out of the group? Who makes up the criteria?

[MiguelDirrell25]

Yeah, the same with the Irish. We were looked at as sub human, or second class citizens. It's not really about "white." You know? It's just a social word. No such thing as a white man - well ****, maybe carrot top or something like that but anyway............

"White" is just a social-economic word (maybe even codeword) for "Caucasian." It's about facial features and **** like that, you know? Just like how most Europeans don't wanna accept Armenians and Turks as "White." Well, they AREN'T white, but they ARE Caucasian, etc. It's also about place of birth. Europeans as a whole are not much different DNA-wise. They all are very much alike.

Hell, my mother for instance is very dark skinned (she's from the south of Italy) but she has blue eyes and a straight nose, all your normal euro/Caucasian features. There's no mistaking her for a Rican or Mexican or anything like that lol. That's what I was talking about with Martinez. You can automatically tell he's "White."

But yeah, a lot of ****ed up history in America. I'm well aware of our past. Some things to be proud of, others not so much.

Not only in America but all over the world, the reason that there is even a majority Caucasian population in Argentina is because the colonist forced the dark skinned natives off the land. The Argentine government is indeed very racist because they have taken steps to keep the afro/carrib people off their rightful land and displace them in other countries. As far as I am concerned the minority natives are the only true Argentinians.
