Hispanic


would u consider her hispanic?

even though she's about white girl as it gets.

Ok...
I'm from the southernmost state of Brazil. In my state we have a dominant colonization by Germans, Italians, and Iberians.
Gisele Bundchen is from my state... By your line of thinking she is not Hispanic, Latin or any other word north-Americans like to use...
But Alessandra Ambrosio, also from my state, also descend from Iberians... So would she be Hispanic?
So you take several girls that look very much the same, and decide if they are "Latin" by verifying an Iberian grandfather?
So is not culture what is important, but genetics... Do you realize how genetically close are Iberians and Germans? Do you realize how genetically close are a girl 75% German and 25% Iberian from a girl that is 100% German?
So Daniel Bruhl is also Latin? Or this categorization is only for south-Americans that have at least one grandpa from Iberia???
This subject is always amazing, specially because we have Iberians that could look like a Norse or a Brit, and Norses and Brits that look just like Iberians - Madds Mikelsen, Sean Connery...

Spain is in Europe. Most latinos are Native America or mixed with Spanish blood.
Alexis i hear just grew up around the culture in that sense yeah she's Hispanic.

reply

It says right on the opening page: Her parents are both Spanish-speakers (her mother was born in Arizona and raised in Mexico, and her father was born in Argentina), and Alexis's ancestry includes Danish, Welsh, English, Scottish, Irish, and French.

Both parents are of European descent who happened to have been born in the Americas, like the majority of present-day inhabitants. Even the native peoples of the Americas had their origins in central Asia and migrated across the Bering Strait land bridge.

No I would not.

yes

She was born in the USA, her ancestry line is very mixed (e.g. Argentina or France).
She speaks Spanish (👍) but I would not say she is Ibero-American, Latin-american, South American or Hispanic American (these 4 terms are used in Spain for the most people born in Central and South America).

However, it would be interesting here to know her own thoughts about it.

reply

Actually her ancestry as shown says she is not (Danish, Welsh, English, Scottish, Irish, and French). Her parents both grew up speaking Spanish and taught her as well. That makes her bilingual not Hispanic.
