A new major poll of nearly 1,500 Latino Americans by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health. The poll, like our previous African-American poll, covered several aspects of people’s lives — religious beliefs, personal finances, health status, education and more. It featured enough respondents that we could break them out into a few key groups by ethnic ancestry — Cubans, Dominicans, South Americans, Central Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Mexicans. We were also able to contrast responses from folks who were immigrants with those who were born in the United States.

@NPRCodeSwitch Surprised that Puerto Ricans report speaking more english at home than spanish #LatinoViews -
I was surprised to see how many Latino Catholics are part of Charismatic movement. Particularly high % of Dominicans. #LatinoViews -
@NPRCodeSwitch The lack of fresh produce in Mexian-American neighborhoods today. #LatinoViews
-
Cuban-Americans less likely than other Latino groups to say they’re satisfied with their lives http://n.pr/1f3sv7M #LatinoViews -
I was surprised to see how different Latino demographics responded to the questions! #LatinoViews -
Unsurprising that in @NPR‘s #LatinoViews survey that Latinos born here 2x as likely to say religion was not too or not at all important? -
.@LuisClemens It’s what other people call me that worries me more. #latinoviews
-
Q2: Which do you prefer: Latino or Hispanic? Why? (We’ll get to other options in a minute.) #LatinoViews @NPRCodeSwitch
-
Interesting that Cuban’s are more likely to say they have achieved the American dream. Less likely to be satisfied in life. #latinoviews -
@NPRCodeSwitch Surprised by the language stats for Puerto Rico. More English than Spanish? What was that stat like 30 yrs ago? #LatinoViews
-
#LatinoViews As a Mexican married to a Dominican-fascinated to see that they are more likely to say they are dissatisfied w/where they live. -
@nprnews poll: Latino immigrants more likely to say their children have better #education opportunities #LatinoViews http://n.pr/1gWCzyM -
A2. No preference btwn Latino or Hispanic. Better than being pinned for a specific nationality usually not my own. #LatinoViews -
-
.@GeeDee215 Those were interesting figures — I wonder if they owe to the aspirational Cuban-American wordview? #LatinoViews
-
Latinos are not monolithic but we do have connecting points. Grt to see the poll focusing on similarities and differences #LatinoViews -
@LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch I’d like to see the Latino vs. Hispanic preference for Latin Americans (living outside the U.S.). #LatinoViews
-
.@RoqPlanas My editor @LuisClemens and our intern @jairoramos_ both said they were unsurprised. #LatinoViews -
@LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch Do #Latinos living in the U.S. prefer to be labled by their coutnry of origin? Ex. Mexican-American #LatinoViews
-
.@taydolven @LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch I think outside the US most wd identify based on nationality – Mexican, Salvadoran etc. #latinoviews
-
Agree! @LatinoUSA: MT @Astridb3: Latino immigrants more likely to say children have better #education #LatinoViews http://n.pr/1gWCzyM ” -
#LatinoViews @LatinoUSA We’ve been reporting abt the complexity w/in “monolithic” Latino community for decades. Good to see it in the poll.
-
@taydolven @LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch Depends on where I am. In US I ID as Nicaraguan. Outside Latin-American. #LatinoViews
-
Q3: Or do you prefer to be known by your place of origin? Cuban American, Puerto Rican, Chicano, Chilango, etc #LatinoViews @NPRCodeSwitch
-
Why Would A Major Network Cut Back On Latino News? http://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarrasquillo/why-would-a-major-network-cut-back-on-latino-news … by @RealAdrianC #LatinoViews -
Hispanic or Latino? That’s like corn vs. flour. It all depends on what you’re having and what you’re craving. 😉 #latinoviews #comidaanalogy -
.@LuisClemens @taydolven In TX I see more bumper stickers abt Mexican pride. On E Coast feel more lumped together #latinoviews
-
@LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch A3: American and Kansan first. Mexican ancestry is the icing on the cake! #LatinoViews -
Was shocked when a cuz referred to herself as Spanish, though. #HispanicVsLatino #LatinoViews
-
A3. I prefer not to be asked “what I am.” But my place of origin US, doesn’t best match my identity. Latina does. #LatinoViews
-
North Mexico and South Texas are both cowboy culture, so I’m a proud TEJANA. #LatinoViews @NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA
-
@ACVTweets @LuisClemens @taydolven I’m on W.Coast. Everyone assumes I’m Mexican. It’s lumped here too. #LatinoViews
-
@Maria_Hinojosa @LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch Mira vos. And you are Latin American when living outside? Wasn’t aware. #LatinoViews
-
@looopy Why not Hispanic? #LatinoViews
-
-
@taydolven @LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch Ya. It’s part pride, part unexplainable connection. #LatinoViews
-
@NPRCodeSwitch I’m a Dominican in the UK. No real concept of Latino vs Hispanic here. I’m considered Mixed Caribbean. #LatinoViews
-
.@brendapsalinas @NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA Yeah, but does #Tejanohood carry down a generation like #Mexicanity? How many? #LatinoViews
-
.@NPR segment about #EastLA “food swamps” ( http://n.pr/1hdT4GV ) reminded me of @CalEndow‘s 2009 talk: http://bit.ly/1hJ9DLD #latinoviews -
@NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA Where are you @latinorebels, @julito77? Would love your thoughts about #PuertoRico stats! #LatinoViews
-
@LatinoUSA @looopy My gut reaction towards “Hispanic” is a reminder of Euro Colonization of Latin ppls. #LatinoViews
-
I prefer Cuban-American over Hisp/Lat for myself but wonder abt how my kids should think of themselves – Cubexicans? #latinoviews
-
#LatinoViews my grandparents were from Mexico. my wife is from Mexico, when I’m there I’m Americano. Interesting.
-
@ACVTweets #LatinoViews It’s starting to! When I found out grandpa lived in N. Laredo during Mex revolution, I reclaimed my Tejana identity
-
@LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch I prefer “Latino” because I feel “Hispanic” sounds too Spain-centric. #LatinoViews -
@LatinoUSA @looopy But I have both Spanish Euro DNA as well as Latino Indio etc… I just feel more pride abt non Euro. #LatinoViews
-
@Maria_Hinojosa As a Spaniard living in the US, am I Hispanic/Latina? I never know what to say #LatinoViews -
.@TomCinKC You can be as Latino as you like in the US and still be considered Americano south of the border #latinoviews
-
@brendapsalinas @NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA Have you read, “How To Tame a Wild Tongue” by Gloria Anzaldua? Good read on this. #LatinoViews
-
The #LatinoViews chat is really informative and all journalists should be paying attention. So should all people. -
The #LatinoViews chat is really informative and all journalists should be paying attention. So should all people. -
#LatinoViews My kids call themselves New Yorkers first. Then Domini-Mex Latinos. But they KNOW they’re Americans & so must vote here.4 sure.
-
Just a reminder: use the hashtag #LatinoViews so that we (and other participants) can see your responses!
-
When in Mexico I’ve stopped trying to fit in and instead think of myself as a Latina tourist. It goes over better. #LatinoViews
-
Sometimes Iberian countries (Portugal, Spain) are included in the Hispanic/Latino definition. Why or why not? #LatinoViews @NPRCodeSwitch -
.@Maria_Hinojosa I feel like I know a lot of ppl like that. Angeleno or Washingtonian 1st, hard enough picking cities. #LatinoViews
-
@NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA How do Latinos feel about ppl from other backgrounds who are interested/involved in #Latino culture? #LatinoViews
-
@NPRCodeSwitch #LatinoViews I use “Hispanic” since I don’t feel connected to a particular ethnicity. Feel more solidly Texan than anything. -
-
@SaraChicaD Pos corn all the way! #latinoviews
-
Second! @TokenEditrix: The #LatinoViews chat is really informative and all journalists should be paying attention. So should all people.”
-
@taydolven @Maria_Hinojosa @LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch Context: Latino means different things in different parts of the U.S. #latinoviews -
-
@NPRCodeSwitch I also wonder whether most Hispanic/Latino people in the US consider themselves people of color. #LatinoViews -
@LexieFO @LatinoUSA I agree completely with everything you said. Hispanic reminds me of colonization, more negative #LatinoViews -
Where do Brazilian/Brazilian-Americans fit in this conversation? Don’t define themselves as Hispanic OR Latino. @NPRCodeSwitch #LatinoViews
-
#latinoviews chat has got los #tweepers fired up! Loving this conversation. Let’s keep it going. @NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA
-
@Maria_Hinojosa Same here. New Yorker first, then American, then Dominican. Lived most my life in NY. I identify with it most #LatinoViews
-
#LatinoViews have expanded my own identity to include Anglo (not just “white”) @LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch -
@NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA Have a friend who is involved with @CookingMatters – she does a lot of food education with Latinos. #LatinoViews
-
I say “Latina” bc it’s pan-whatever, but I consider myself la pocha, Mexican-American, Tejana-ish, depending on the context #LatinoViews -
-
Q4: Have you felt discriminated against in the past 12 months because you are Latino/a? #LatinoViews pic.twitter.com/SAj9tsqQWp -
Im often criticized by other Latinos– I have no accent, speak only English, follow few norms, dont partake in celebrations. #LatinoViews -
#LatinoViews I’ll be your Latina, Hispanic,Mexican-american,Tex-mex, Tejana,or just an American Chica. In the end its a social construction -
@NPRCodeSwitch Not overtly. But I can tell there are expectations / or lack there of b/c of my skin. #LatinoViews
-
@NPRCodeSwitch I’ve been spoken down to more than properly discriminated against this past year. Oh the low expectations! #latinoviews -
Being #LatinoIncognito means I see the discrimination, but don’t experience it myself. #LatinoViews
-
-
.@NPRCodeSwitch The exception to this finding were Cubans. Only 8% of Cubans reported the same. #latinoviews
-
@anaalmsan @NPRCodeSwitch @RoqPlanas Good question. On the same subject, what about Haitians? #LatinoViews
-
.@NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA That would be because both Hispanic and Latino are both really inadequate words. #LatinoViews -
@NPRCodeSwitch I’ve had racial slurs shouted at me while walking down the street. At least they can tell I’m not Asian. #LatinoViews -
I was taught that Hispanic is geography and Latino is cultural. I say Hispanic of Mex descent, latino implied #LatinoViews @NPRCodeSwitch -
People suddenly hear my accent when they know I’m Latina. #latinoviews @NPRCodeSwitch -
@CarolinaCaoNY @taydolven @NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA @julito77 but we will tweet out #LatinoViews no one approached us until last min -
.@NPRCodeSwitch Since they come here to work, that’s not surprising, is it? #latinoviews
-
@CarolinaCaoNY @taydolven @NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA @julito77 convo looks really cool kudos to #LatinoViews
-
@LexieFO @NPRCodeSwitch I think minority and POC are sometimes overlapping but not synonymous (e.g. gay white person) #LatinoViews
-
Great conversation unfolding on #LatinoViews sparked by @NPRCodeSwitch – not just on Hispanic/Latino label choice but on identity generally. -
.@NPRCodeSwitch Even the question makes my teeth hurt. Are we just going to forget about every day microaggressions? #LatinoViews
-
#latinoviews @brendapsalinas For example, I’ve heard Latino used for ppl who do not live in the US & are from a Latin American country.
-
What about Black Latinos? Where do they fit into this conversation? #Latinoviews @NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA -
#LatinoViews @LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch But the number of times I have been told by my paisanos that is don’t “look” Mexican…ay.
-
@LeatherIvy Give us examples! #LatinoViews
-
Preference for what to be called is geographic for me. I prefer to identify as Chicana but word unknown outside southwest. #LatinoViews -
-
.@LEEandLOW @LexieFO @NPRCodeSwitch Since I present as white, I am and am not a POC. #FigureThatOneOut #LatinoViews
-
@NPRCodeSwitch @LeatherIvy “You speak Spanish, right?” “How many children do you have?” “Were you born here?” #LatinoViews
-
@callmeechief @NPRCodeSwitch Same! I felt more in TX amg other Mx-Amer growing up than I have on the East Coast since 18 y/o. #LatinoViews
-
#latinoviews @NPRCodeSwitch @LeatherIvy @LatinoUSA I agree as the poll showed there’s no single word that captures the US Latino experience
-
Let’s talk about absence/lack of visibility of Latin@ intellectuals. Same old talking heads & no lifting of Indy Latin@ voices #LatinoViews -
The northeast is the worst. I hate being called “Spanish.” I’m not Spanish despite colonial history. I have my own!!! #LatinoViews
-
@CarolinaCaoNY @ACVTweets @NPRCodeSwitch Some felt that “light” Latinos of European descent don’t count as POC. #LatinoViews
-
@NPRCodeSwitch #LatinoViews Every Latino in the US knowthey can be stopped anytime, anywhere & asked to define ourselves & show our papers.
-
@LEEandLOW @CarolinaCaoNY @ACVTweets @NPRCodeSwitch I identify as a white person of color. #LatinoViews
-
-
Yes, we’re often considered intellectual lightweights, and not invited to convos about “serious” topics. @mamitamala #LatinoViews
-
@LEEandLOW @ACVTweets @NPRCodeSwitch Light skinned & ppl usually cant tell what I am exactly but they know that I’m “of color.”#latinoviews
-
@LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch Most ppl use Latino now. Both are political labels that can be used to divide us or unite us. #LatinoViews -
@ACVTweets @NPRCodeSwitch @LexieFO Categorizing is complicated. I think what’s most important is how someone self-identifies #LatinoViews
-
@NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA If you are from a country spelled the same in EN/ES (Argentina) how do you pronounce it in the US? #LatinoViews
-
Q5: In our poll, mainland Puerto Ricans were the group most likely to speak English at home. Is this true for you? Why? #LatinoViews
-
.@LEEandLOW @CarolinaCaoNY @NPRCodeSwitch The rub: teachers would whip kids in my dad’s class for speaking Spanish. #LatinoViews
-
In the end, all #LatinoViews matter, and we need to be honest with each other to have real conversations, even the uncomfortable ones.
-
@NPRCodeSwitch I am in London, though. Where Spanish is not even close to the second language. #LatinoViews
-
Also not discrimination, but I feel that neither country fully embraces me as one of their own. #LatinoViews @NPRCodeSwitch
-
-
@callmeechief @MsDuality it’s cool to us, when people are themselves that is cool with us #LatinoViews
-
Not Spanish or Latin. Indeed! MT @pablitasan I hate being called “Spanish.” I’m not Spanish despite colonial history. #LatinoViews -
@NPRCodeSwitch In DC & MA, hard 2 tell what’s discrimination & what’s city rudeness. More offended by exoticization, honestly. #LatinoViews
-
.@mamitamala been a struggle to make some of our folks ready for prime time. Gotta play to be picked for team. Pipeline issues. #latinoviews
-
A2 – I use Latin@ and @ALDIANews uses it as its style, to include indigenous Latin@s who have no Spanish heritage at all #LatinoViews
-
.@NPRCodeSwitch “When did your family come here?”About 20,000 years ago. Or did you mean the Spanish part? 😀 #LatinoViews
-
Even if you aren’t Latino check out this discussion. #LatinoViews -
“Have you felt discriminated against in past 12 months cause you Latin@?” Hard to keep count #LatinoViews @NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA -
I HUUURD that @mamitamala !! unless the topic is #immigration or teenage pregnancy OF COURSE! #LatinoViews
-
@xicano007 a combo of all of the above plus a real lack of support and favoring the already privileged/ those with access #LatinoViews
-
Not ‘white’ enough to be a true American, but way too Americanized to be a Mexican. #homeless #LatinoViews @NPRCodeSwitch
-
.@LEEandLOW @CarolinaCaoNY @NPRCodeSwitch and there’s the history of lynching Spanish-speakers in S. TX. #LatinoViews
-
@LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch Depends on the situation & who I’m talking to. Among other Latinos it is more about place of origin. #LatinoViews
-
@followthelede well also because we are multiracial and so many pass or choose to pass doesn’t help #LatinoViews
-
Me too, only plug in Guatemala instead of Mexico. 😉 @LatinoUSA @amadeolevi @NPRCodeSwitch #LatinoViews
-
-
Now that I think about it, I use several identifiers: Latino, Hispanic, Chicano, Mexican, Tejano. Jefe works too 😉 #LatinoViews -
.@NPRCodeSwitch BTW. Somebody should say something about meaningless “Hispanic research” like this: http://miblogestublog.com/2014/01/18/insight-how-to-attract-more-hispanics-to-your-restaurant/ … #latinoviews -
@CarolinaCaoNY agree but I think lots of women’s orgs talk a good game about lifting voices but don’t actually do it #LatinoViews
-
I always say ‘I’m from Texas’ and they are like ‘but where’s your family from’ … Uh, TEXAS! @breelop @NPRCodeSwitch #LatinoViews -
True, but I grew up in Guatemala, and more than 60% percent of pop. is from Latin America but not “hispanic” @mamitamala #LatinoViews
-
-
@SaraChicaD hey I’ll write/talk about them both pero right we are so much more #LatinoViews
-
In ATL working @ B&N: Old man: Saldana, what’s that? Me: American. Old Man: No, no, I mean, where are you from? Me: Texas! #LatinoViews 1/2 -
@amadeolevi @NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA Belonging to a country that doesn’t know how it feels about #LatinoViews #homeless
-
Hispanic vs. Latino? @Jewyorican: I dislike both. I prefer Puerto Rican. @BurtonJM @NPRCodeSwitch #LatinoViews -
@mamitamala – Whoops, thought you were referring to my other answer. Sorry! #LatinoViews
-
the questions being asked on #LatinoViews right now are hella awkward & stale. Ponganle chile and spanglish it up @NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA
-
2/2 #LatinoViews Me: Smith, what’s that? Him: American. Him: walks away.
-
-
@antoniacere @NPRCodeSwitch My mom lives in PR and she says that everything over there seems to be turning to English. #LatinoViews -
Some interesting conversation right now on #LatinoViews by @NPRCodeSwitch. Chatting about Latino life + culture in the U.S. -
@followthelede well there it is. Meeting peeps where they are at..the nuances of Latin@ identity politics #LatinoViews
-
It’s funny bcuz you can have Latino/Hispanic heritage and still be racially black but some people don’t see it that way. #LatinoViews -
Curious about young Mex-Americans in the northeast. How do they create identity? Mine linked to my relationship with the border #LatinoViews
-
@mendezgonzales @breelop @NPRCodeSwitch From Kansas…and yup, from Kansas. My roots sometimes aren’t deep enough. #LatinoViews #streetcred/div>
-
-
This is why we are about to put it all on the line to demand Mexican American Studies for Texas #LatinoViews We live this convo everyday. -
Muy interesante este informe que demuestra que los “latinos” no son un bloque monolítico http://armstrong.npr.org/ftpaed/CodeSwitch_Share/Latino_report_Total_and_Heritage_Groups_FINAL%20SPANISH.pdf … #LatinoViews via @LatinoUSA
-
.@NPRCodeSwitch English at home growing up. My father would say that Spanish is another European, colonialist language. #LatinoViews
-
@followthelede @mamitamala At 12,I learned I was a “Ladino” in Guate when my fam inadvertently frightened an Indigenous woman #LatinoViews -
People tend to make a lot of assumptions 1st on what they think I am & then based on me being Latina. @NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA #LatinoViews
-
@EArroyo5 @antoniacere @NPRCodeSwitch What does she say about when she was young? More Spanish? #LatinoViews
-
Consider myself racially black even though grandfathers are Puerto Rican. Some uncles and aunts identify w 1 side or the other #LatinoViews
-
@GeeDee215 #LatinoViews don’t you think that has to do with length in mainland of most PRs + colonialism?
-
-
Basically, no matter what your heritage, you can choose WHATEVER you want to be identified as OR NOT #LatinoViews
-
@mendezgonzales @breelop @NPRCodeSwitch a common question & issue for those of us from the Southwest. #LatinoViews -
@LatinoVoices : 1/2 mexican, 1/2 caucasian – what does that make me? Human! #latinoviews -
The #LatinoViews and the account @LatinoUSA is enlightening and very informative. -
@mendezgonzales @LatinoUSA @breelop @NPRCodeSwitch The story of my life! Except I will sometimes say I’m Tejano #LatinoViews #LatinoMinded -
@armedinthevilla Hmm. But not both? Maybe a fear that not being “enough” of the other will lead to exclusion? #LatinoViews
-
The #LatinoViews chat is winding down! ¡Gracias por su participación!
-
I don’t subscribe to the notion that others should define u. If u wanna be considered Hispanic or Latino, that’s up to u #LatinoViews
-
Many talking-head intellectuals are pub authors & columnists in MSM & as we know there’s a dearth 2 #latinoviews @mamitamala @CarolinaCaoNY -
Why is it hard to believe that we are from here, too?! 4 maybe 5 generations from TX. C’mon! @breelop @LatinoUSA @NPRCodeSwitch #LatinoViews
-
@pinchebergie rancheros! 😉 #latinoviews
-
But does #LatinoViews identity even matter when we’re going to be grouped by others anyway? I want it to, but feel like it doesn’t
-
#LatinoViews is really showing how complicated identity is for most of us. Mainly prompted by questions from others about where we’re “from”
-
.@CarolinaCaoNY *Absolutely.* (Relatedly: 49 percent of PRs lean English (More English than Spanish or English-only) at home. #LatinoViews
-
Another one of my favorites, “OF COURSE your last name ends in Z, what a give away!!!” Uhh. Excuse you? #LatinoViews
-
We’re winding down our #LatinoViews chat. Thank you all for tuning in! We will continue tweeting with the same hashtag throughout the week!
-
#LatinoViews the lack of latino representation in media drive me to work in the tv industry -
Hard Q: if being ethnic-less means more inclusion–in media, etc.– would we want that over our ethnic identities? #LatinoViews #latism
-
“@TatianaYSanchez: interesting convo right now on #LatinoViews by @NPRCodeSwitch. Latino life in the U.S.” @Librotraficante @LianaLisa
-
Or, if you have a last name like mine, “you can’t be Latina because your name isn’t” @LexieFO #notmonolithicninada #LatinoViews
-
-
“@TatianaYSanchez: interesting convo right now on #LatinoViews by @NPRCodeSwitch. Latino life in the U.S.” @HighTechAztec @thepoetmendez
-
@mamitamala @followthelede Totally! I’m trying to figure out a way to claim a mixed identity that DOESN’T perpetuate racism #LatinoViews
-
@NPRCodeSwitch Also frustrating–assuming I’m frm elsewhere means ppl are surprised by family’s history of military service. #LatinoViews
-
@armedinthevilla People have a hard time handling the idea of someone being two cultures at once. They want you to pick one. #LatinoViews
-
@NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA What about the ages of people responding? We should consider hist patterns of immig from diff grps. #LatinoViews -
@NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA Assumptions: nationality, citizenship, language, education. Lots of stereotypes of Latinas out there. #LatinoViews
-
@LexieFO Culturally, they weighed the social ramifications of being one of the other since some “looked” and others didn’t #LatinoViews
-
Some think I’m Indian like from India. No one can just let me be Texan. But I sooo AM! @LatinoPolitics @breelop @NPRCodeSwitch #LatinoViews
-
Interesting conversation going on in the #LatinoViews hashtag. -
-
Check out @NPRCodeSwitch‘s #LatinoViews preguntas about latinidad in the U.S. -
How have I missed this #LatinoViews convo?! -
-
@LexieFO For many years, I denied I was “Latino” but my dad cured me of that foolishness. Proud “mutt” I am #LatinoViews
-
I aggressively identify as Latina, no matter. 😉 me@bspcorleto @mamitamala #LatinoViews
-
#latinoviews @MLSchrantz to delve into the layers/stories of these identities is what journalism is for (I like to think)
-
@NPRCodeSwitch @LatinoUSA It’s amazing how people form their stories of who they think you are based on skin color & last name. #LatinoViews
-
@followthelede Ya. Please tell me more of what I CAN and CANNOT be. B/C obviously you get to decide. Déjame sola. #LatinoViews
-
Q2 I generally prefer Latino to Hispanic b/c Latino feels closer to correct, to Latinoamericano and Latino can b more inclusive #Latinoviews -
@LEEandLOW And I fell into the trap of picking one. It’s a silly, self-induced burden IMHO. I’m glad for my diversity #LatinoViews
-
@nickyindurham @NPRCodeSwitch Living in DC, when u really look there r a lot of Spanish surnames on the Vietnam Memorial wall. #LatinoViews
-
@Helga_Salinas @MLSchrantz Couldn’t agree more! #Journalism seeks to give a voice to those who wouldn’t otherwise have one. #LatinoViews
-
In Sweden visiting my wife’s family I can pass for any other dark people not Scandanavian. I’ve never felt more Texas Mexican. #LatinoViews
-
@Helga_Salinas Definitely. It could be a never-ending series. There’s no one right answer. (Or one answer for most in the US) #LatinoViews
-
Q3 With felllow Latinos I’m Puerto Rican or Boricua. It’s contextual. Sometimes I need to be Latino and others Rican #Latinoviews
-
I don’t like idea of ethnic-less. IMO it’s not worth media inclusion. Have to keep fighting the fight. @SaraChicaD #LatinoViews
-
Trend Alert: #LatinoViews. More trends at http://www.trendinalia.com/twitter-trending-topics/usa/usa-today.html … #trndnl pic.twitter.com/eEQcZL8LhI -
Top of the list of #LatinoViews; national and cultural labels are irrelevant. We’re all world citizens and need to value each other as such.
-
@mendezgonzales I remember you saying that. I get everything fr being from Argentina to Middle Eastern #LatinoViews @breelop @NPRCodeSwitch
-
Disappointed that #LatinoViews chat happened during my class and I missed out. I’ll have to catch up later. -
Great discussion #LatinoViews
-
@NPRCodeSwitch My whole life. I’m always Mexican, not an American. It’s been made plain, even in CA, that I’m not welcome. #LatinoViews -
@armedinthevilla Hard to maintain bicultural identity when you’re constantly being asked to check the *one* box that fits you. #LatinoViews
-
In Sweden, trying to speak the language, I think I speak it with a Texas Mexican accent, which is obvious there but not here: #LatinoViews.
