    I am confused. The Guyanas and Suriname are part of South America and not Latino or Hispanic but Caribbean?

    Am I the only one annoyed by how ppl are pronouncing latinx? It should be laTINx. laTINo, laTINa, laTINex. I hate this weird “latin-ex” like it’s the language and a letter… is it just me?

    Excellent pronunciation of “mira”, A for effort, but the better word would’ve been “veamos” which is plural, formal and inclusive. Mira is singular, more personal and casual. Love the show!

    Most Latinos when asked, not for jokes, point out that Latinx isn’t pronounceable in Spanish and is offensive.

    Simple buy yourself a boat then by Maritime law you are a captain ergo you can call yourself Captain America.

    LatinX seems like it has the opposite effect of what was intended. Seems like something being discarded or excluded to me.

    All Latinos can be called Hispanic/ Hispano because we’re descendants of Spaniards. Not all Latinos are Hispano. Some Latinos are of Portuguese Italian or French descent but these cannot be called Hispanic. However there are so many similarities in culture because we all speak a romance language.

    Hispanic are technically the name given by the Romans to the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula, meaning nowadays Portuguese, Catalans, Galicians, Basques and Spanish.
