Nothing wacky at all. If one is not outbreeding, one is inbreeding. America is full of combinations. Celebrate diversity.

Interesting. Is there a story behind that?

from where?

@Zoohome El Paso, TX. Mexican-American, what about you?

@MichelleGar1 ah! Brazilian, born there. Working on my summer family vacation, I almost booked my flight to El Paso.

@Zoohome Wow! If you ever come here let me know! We can meet up for lunch or dinner and drinks!

@MichelleGar1 RIGHT? That would be great! I was trying to figure out how to get to Grand Canyon without digging a hole in my pocket. Allegiant flies to you But AA wasn't that bad going to Albuquerque (my original plan). But next time!
Be sure to let me know if you ever drive through FL. My town is the classic overnight for all other states driving to Orlando or SFL.

@Zoohome The Grand Canyon is so beautiful! Hope you enjoy your visit there! Definitely if I ever go back to Florida and I am in your area I will let you know! It would be fun! Albuquerque is a cool city, enjoy your visit there too!

@MichelleGar1 It is Grand Canyon and then Mesa Verde. Starting and ending in ABQ. It will be a fun circle full of amazing views. I am still working on details. @glennlab is helping me plan.
if you have anything that you think is a must, let me know. When the msgs start working again, I will pm you.

@Zoohome That's so awesome!!! @glennlab that's so cool that he's helping you! I hope to see him when he drives through here! Albuquerque has a lot to see and do! There's the tramway! It used to be the longest in the world but another country beat it recently! How fun!!!

@MichelleGar1 I just got back from the sky walk on the Grand Canyon, neat but not really worth the $$ . I'm still on pace to be in EP sometime next week. I was i 4 national parks yesterday, finishing with the grand canyon. close to 700 pics so far. My camera will get a rest since they don't allow them in the Pink concert.

@Zoohome I have a butt load of brochures and maps I picked up for you, my cell reception has been next to zero so I have been really out of touch. This will be a semi rest night before Las Vegas.

@glennlab Wow!!!! Sounds like you're having fun! I remember the cost to go into the Grand Canyon being kinda steep but worth it, I didn't go to the Sky Walk part, now I know that it's ok that I didn't! Lol! Well hope you have a great rest of your trip and be safe, see you soon!

@MichelleGar1 I have a lifetime pass due to my VA disabilty, so no cost going into the parks, the skywalk was $90

@glennlab That's great! $90 is too much!

@MichelleGar1 It's Disneyland prices, I figured I waas already there and you only live once. Not going to do it again. The free site on the eastern part of the canyon was almost as good and they don't allow cameras on the skywalk itself. first pic isfrom the free site, second from the skywalk area.

@glennlab The free site pic is so much prettier! Yeah Disneyland costs more than $90, it's a $120 to get in last I heard! Grand Canyon so much better than Disneyland!

@happyaprn18 De Santurce, parada 18, estudie en Sagrado Corazon, graduado de la Superior Central. Todavia le escribo canciones a la isla. Bienvenida. Me recuerdas mucho las indias de mi tierra.

@happyaprn18 ?Eres Salsera o Rockera?

My ex husband is Cuban ...my children are beautiful. But all children are.

You don't sound Latin. lol

@MacTavish I wouldn't sound latin because I'm typing away maybe. Plus, they asked for Latinos, not Latin speakers.

@mek7730 I was joking about you sounding Latin (notice the "lol" ).
Good point about speaking Latin.

@MacTavish oh ok, I thought I was gonna have to whip out a chola persona but aside from adding a few "ese's" and "homes" I have no idea what else they'd say.

@mek7730 Nope, nope, nope. We are peaceful here and enjoy laughing and having fun. No "ese's" or "homes" needed (but they would be welcomed).

@MacTavish I was joking too haha

@mek7730 we better stop or we'll get blamed for hijacking this thread. Have yourself a humorous day and laugh much. And thank you for the laughs and giggles.

I host a group called Minority Heathens on here, I can't post any news articles about the subject because I only have the app on my phone t can't get one for my computer. When I try to copy and paste it doesn't work on here.

oi! O site esta com problema e nao envia msg. Assim que ajeitar te escrevo.

And the plural is?

@happyaprn18

I'm not Latino. But I'm wondering what is your point in making this racist joke?

@Krish55
It was a question asked because I am S. African and have never heard the term before ! What is so wrong with that ?

The United States Census uses the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino to refer to "a person of Dominican, Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race

@LadyAlyxandrea
OK ! thank you. Did not mean to offend anyone. If I did I apologise.

@VAL3941 it was the "latrine o" that people took offense to. But since you explained that you legitimately didn't know and apologized we cool

@LadyAlyxandrea
I can now see why ? Latrine o waz a typo. I must check more carfully in future.

@VAL3941 because latrine is a word for toilet, so it could have been taken to mean something degrading or insulting.

@LadyAlyxandrea
It is over and done, no good will come from more talk around this subject, and thanks again.

@happyaprn18 I think you asked a great question. Latinos can struggle together on the various issues that affect them: aid for Borinquen, help for border migrants, etc. United we stand; divided we fall! I speak Spanish and living in FL, I am very immersed in Latin culture. Also, coming from a traditional culture myself, I understand the personal beliefs vs. family issue myself. I'll put an idea out there in a separate response...
