Are YOU hispanic?

Thats a new one. Where i work we have people from everywhere, mostly ex military. We have one guy who is Jamaican/Chinese, Air Force retiree, and does air force reserves and something with the Marines. Work with a guy who is 100% Filipino. Pretty funny one day cause he was cussing out a new guy in Tagalog, and he didnt know that the guy grew up in the Philippines (navy father). Well the guy surprised the hell out of him when he returned a response in Tagalog, his face was priceless.

 

As always, very well spoken Steve. If you give me a shipping address you will receive a Cohiba from me. Its good to see that some people still have an open mind towards the unkown. I dont know how this thread can be confused as racism, this is like any other thread. Its a shame that this melting pod of a country has become what it is today. Where little by little our freedom of speech is being challenged because of ignorance. I'm very sorry that you feel this way Element and I do apologize for the cuss word. It would be stellar if we would all check our complexes and tramas at the door, for we all are equal and no one is better than anyone. I have spoken my peace.

We're all just various shades of African.....nothing more.

 

Yep. I'm an "Uh-oh Oreo". White on the outside, black on the inside, yo.

And trying to read NT's vast amount of Spanish posts made my brain hurt, so I'm English only from now on.

I'm a happy American. I like my country for the most part. However I can think of a few other countries I'd like to live in. America has too much drama Don't get me wrong, if America ever needed me for anything I'd do my duty and help however I can, but I've always wanted to live back in my roots of Ireland or Germany. Or Australia, because Australia's freakin' cool.

 

God save the Queen.

 

Very nice Jwin. I love Oreo's btw, one of the best cookies ever made .

 

Same here. I love the old country.

 

Wesho, don't apologize...Cool thread & you're a cool kid too....that goes for you to Jwin. Irish/German? Stay outta bars!!! Germans have the very best beers in the world. "Negra-Modelo" came to Mexico via Germany. Many Germans fled the wars & settled in Mexico/Latin America, hence that unique brewing style of bavarian darker beers that had all but disappeared in Germany. Bet you guys didn't know that did you? True story.

The "P**a" word=a prostitute that really likes working overtime? Can be used feminine & masculine with an "a" or "o". NU knows "Puto" which is a Filipino dessert but means very different in Spanish=a womanizer of the worse kind. Hey NU, what is Balout? Wheres the pancit & tenola? Some of my best employees are Filipinos!!!

Also, Wesho speaks a very proper form of Spanish, a watered down or Mexicanized form of Castillion. The spelling & grammer is all the same, but the emphasis on certain syllables and verbs can give the phrase a totally different meaning. The same is true for Oriental/Asian dialects.

ME? ....poco....poco, Espaniol. My Mom is Spanish & Italian and my Dad is of Mexican (Mestizo) descent. When I was growing up, I didn't speak a word of Spanish but when I started working, I worked as a bussboy in a country club bussing tables. I really learned Spanish from the dishwashers, although they only taught me all the badwords. American Spanish is not the same Spanish as Wesho speaks which is very proper and "dignified" form of Spanish kinda like English from England & English from the States.....kinda cool. I was born in a predominant Hispanic area in Southern California 120 miles East of San Diego....my home. Knowing and speaking Spanish fluently has given me an "edge" in employment & in business negotiations in this area.

I mean, what would this world be like without homemade tortillas & good German beer?

Jwin/Wesho: Nomas faltan las gorditas!!! (translate Wesho)
