that's about the equivalent of calling someone 'asiatic', a term used for animal species lmao. of course you probably don't give a shit, and neither do we really care about calling you names either.
- uoaei 3y agoThere's a difference between using an inappropriate word but describing the same phenomenon, and treating an ethnicity as synonymous with "poor".
- inconceivable 3y agomexican isn't an ethnicity. it's a nationality. there are native american mexicans and the whitest of white european mexicans as well as "asiatic" (lmao lol) mexicans.
- coldtea 3y ago>mexican isn't an ethnicity. it's a nationality It's both, but as an ethnicity it's subdivided in several cases based on their origin (e.g. "white mexican"). But can also be seen as the future/aspiring all-encompassing Mexican ethnicity through the inter-mixing (cultural and genetical) going on for centuries... (It's not like "Spanish" in Spain are some pure ethnicity that always existed either, it's one that emerged by combination of several ethnicities).
- coldtea 3y agoAsiatic just means "from asia". It's used for all kinds of things Asian, including animal, plants, artifacts, geography, climate, and peoples. It's gone out of favor in the US (because people like to change every term with newer versions) but it's still a word just meaning "being from asia".
