Media Justin Gaethje - "I was raised Hispanic"

[cauti0n]

This thread seems confused on what is Latin, Latino Americano & Hispanic lmao.

 

[Fedor Emelianenko]

Shouldn't be dismissing his Viking genes, which attributes to his fighting DNA as well.

Lol wut..... so many great German fighters ... not

 

[Cranberry2.0]

Lol wut..... so many great German fighters ... not

Germany has been pretty good at fighting.....

 

[GOATtalks]

Justin better keep working out after his MMA years....got some fat genes on both sides of the family...I'm not trying to be ugly but just sayin'

Those ain’t genes.

 

[Bangkok ready d1]

No Gallego nor Tano will refer themselves as Latino. Stop embarrassing yourself.

It seems the americans like to called themselves something they aren't, im probably more mexican than gaethje anyway

 

[Canarinha]

I swear i could hear Justin whisper
"blood in blood out vato" to Khabib during the faceoffs

This thread seems confused on what is Latin, Latino Americano & Hispanic lmao.

Will try to see if I can get these right. Please feel free to correct me:

Latin - anything / anyone relating to Latin language (ex: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Latin America)

Latino - same as above but is referring to a person.

American(o) - A citizen of the USA, technically speaking. This refers to a person's nationality (not ethnicity or race).

However, in common daily usage, this is (incorrectly) referred to as someone who is a US citizen of European descent.​

Hispanic - referring to a person from a Spanish speaking culture.

The one difference between Hispanic and Latino is that Hispanic refers only to people from Spanish speaking countries/cultures, whereas Latino also includes people from Portuguese speaking countries.​

 

[Bluehefner]

Gaethje about to give Khabib a slap with his BMW!! Mexican style!

 

[mr nuff]

Why not say hes Hispanic,everyone calls Barack Obama black

 

[Bartosh]

Northern Germany, Poland etc. Vikings didn't just live in Scandinavia. They lived on the upper west coast of Europe as well.

yeah, and Europe is a country.

 

[vlz]

Justino Gaeyo from now on

Latino/a is someone of Latin American origin. It's shorthand for Latino Americano.

Isn't his mother actually Mexican? Ofcourse it would have a greater impact. His dad is American plain and simple

 

[Kono dio da!]

I thought he was born in Mexico. I was surprised to find out that he's actually ethnically Mexican. How often does it happen that a kid born from a hispanic parent of brown skin and a white anglo saxon protestant/or german in this case turns out like gaethje? Is this a common occurrence?

That's correct, but isn't Latino/a technically also applies for someone from Spain, Portugal, and other countries whose languages have Latin as the origin (ex: Italian, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, Catalan, Romansh)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin#Contemporary_Latin

In the US, it's my observation that many believe Latino/a is only referred to someone from Central or South America, but by definition, this is incomplete and not totally correct.

The Aztec blood runs through his veins. El Guero Loco!

Actually Europe

yeah, and Europe is a country.

yeah, and Europe is a country.

The comment of upper west coast Europe is accurate. What's wrong with saying vikings where active in that part of the continent?

Latin & Latino are 2 different things. Latino/a is also a new, contemporary term. Latino includes Dominicans, Cubans, Haitians, etc,. not just people from Central or South America.

In fact, Rosalia who is from Spain consistently catches flack online from Latinos for appropriating and pretending to be Latino when she's not.

LOL, I guess people from Spain are being outcasted.

But I think I understand the sentiment from people from Latin America not accepting a mainstream pop star from Spain who don't live in and/or take the time to truly understand Latina American cultures as a "Latina."
