Get Your **** Straight: ODLH's "Race"

[ferocity]

sorry for asking....

is "arriba...arriba" spanish???

i have never heard of that word in my life, hell if i know

[El Jesus]

BlackJesus, i was just thinking, how is it that the asian person, who is white skinned is not considered white by your rule they would be white?

facial features such as a flat nose and slanted eyes as well as universally black hair prevent this.

You kids are ****ing brain-dead. I was in shock today when I read a post by some idiot who said-and I quote, “ODLH is not Mexican, and he never will be”. I couldn’t believe it at first, but after I finished clearing my eyes, I realized that that ****-sucker was actually being serious.

Y’all don’t know the difference between race, nationality, and ethnicity so I’m a brake it down for ya; make it sound real simple for ya. (By the way, it is kind of sad that/if you don’t know this already)

1) Oscar IS Mexican. What the **** else would he be you dumb ****. American is NOT a race.

2) I repeat, being born in a different country from your parents doesn't mean that transform into another race, ****head.

3) Mexican is NOT a race. It is an ethnic group. Its part of the Latino race, you moron.

4) Oscar is a United States citizen; that doesn't mean he is white and not Mexican because he wasn't born in Mexico.

5) Just to give you an example; Selma Hayek is NOT Mexican. She was born in Mexico, but she is NOT Mexican. Her father is Spanish (Spain) and her mother is Lebanese. Therefore she is half Spanish, Lebanese. She is a Mexican citizen. That is her nationality, not race.

People like David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, and Tito Trinidad are of the Latino race. Not Black, not Puerto-Rican, not Dominican. Their heritage is African. They were born in their respected countries (PR, DR) but it doesn’t mean that their race is Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Even African (black). They are Afro-Latinos.

Believe me when I say this, there are TONS more white/fair-skinned Puerto-Ricans and Dominicans then there are Black. The Black ones are usually the poorest, so they come to the United States in droves looking for a better life and more opportunity. That is the main reason you see a lot of Afro-Latinos in the United States.

The Latino race is very rich and colorful, and the mainstream has A LOT to learn about us. Just because you see a lot of Afro-Ricans doesn’t mean that every Puerto-Rican has black in them. There are more Afro-Mexicans in Mexico alone then there are Afro-Ricans period. It’s not even close.

Class dismissed.

That is what I don't understand. He is always being disowned by a lot of Mexicans. He is an American citizen by birth. But nobody can take away his Mexican roots as it is in his blood and he is Mexican by RACE. I like the guy a lot as he is one of the most humble champions in the sport. What's not to like about him except if you're jealous of what he's accomplished.

De La Hoya wants his cake and eat it.

He wants the credibility of the Mexican warrior, and the social acceptance in America.

And can we deny that he has it?

AND he can sing a bit, AND his wife is hot.

SONOFABITCH!
