2287571 Universe City : Sometimes...

2287573 Shinnrah6 : do you think being white would make it better?
2287574 Shinnrah6 : do blacks and mexicans like bond together or anything?=
2287575 Universe City : 38.4% of "minorities" and that includes African-Americans.
2287576 Shinnrah6 : ik that sounds really ignorant so tell me if im sounding stupid
2287577 Universe City : ‹@Shinnrah6› Whites probably have it way better, I'm not white so I wouldn't really know.
2287578 Universe City : Ehh, it depends.
2287579 Shinnrah6 : do you feel unsafe coz of other races? and does that include caucasians?
2287580 Universe City : See what you have to understand is most Mexicans (that make up the majority of the "Hispanic/Latinx" population in the U.S.) don't know their true identity: Indigenous People.
2287581 Universe City : And I'm willing to bet most "African-Americans" don't realize they are African.
2287582 Universe City : Mostly the racist whites.
2287583 Shinnrah6 : so they´re self-identifying is a bit off, you´re saying?
2287584 Universe City : White Supremacists are the biggest terrorist threat in the U.S.
2287585 Shinnrah6 : i shouldnt draw parallels at all to new zealand
2287586 Universe City : I would have to research but I'm willing to bet a lot of Mexicans put "white" the census.
2287587 Universe City : *in the census.
2287588 Shinnrah6 : actually no lets not go there zzzzzz
2287589 Shinnrah6 : i wouldnt be surprised
2287590 Universe City : But no, I'm saying that "Hispanic" and "Latino/a/x" both mean WHITE.
2287591 Shinnrah6 : a lot of the older generation of pacific islanders used "white" surnames
2287592 Universe City : Hispanic just means Spaniard, a person. place or thing of Spain.
2287593 Universe City : And Latino just means Latin in Spanish.
2287594 Universe City : Latin was the language the Romans spoke.
2287595 Shinnrah6 : that's what i never got in general
2287596 Universe City : They both mean WHITE.
2287597 Shinnrah6 : is that south americans say that THEYre the latinos
2287598 Shinnrah6 : but latin is from rome...
2287599 Universe City : And the majority of Mexicans and other people classified as "Hispanic/Latinx" don't know that simple fact and call themselves Hispanic/Latino/a/x.
2287600 Shinnrah6 : and spanish is actually a really white language
2287601 Universe City : ‹@Shinnrah6› Yes, that's right.
2287602 Universe City : Hispanic and Latino/x just means white.
2287603 Universe City : See: And we don't know that.
2287604 Universe City : And I'm willing to bet most "African-Americans" don't realize they are African.
2287605 Shinnrah6 : it´s assumed another identity altogether in the americas i suppose. But people have forgotten about its core roots
2287606 Universe City : The people called "Hispanics/Latinxs" are really Indigenous People.
2287607 Universe City : Unless you really are white.
2287608 Universe City : The Spaniards themselves call us "Latinos."
2287609 Universe City : WE ARE NOT LATINO!
2287610 Universe City : The Spaniards are the true Latinos.
2287611 Shinnrah6 : question - did you emigrate from south america? or were you born and raised in US?
2287612 Shinnrah6 : and do you know your indigenous tongue, or know what it is?
2287613 Universe City : No, I'm of Mexican descent.
2287614 Universe City : I'm "Mexican-American."
2287615 Universe City : "Mexico" is in what we know as "North America."
2287616 Universe City : I'm learning my indigenous language Nahuatl.
2287617 Universe City : Along with my true indigenous history.
2287618 Shinnrah6 : oh how many speakers of that?
2287619 Universe City : I was born in "Mexico" but came to the U.S. when I was 4 years old in 1994.
2287620 Universe City : A little over 1 million.
2287621 Universe City : "Varieties of Nahuatl are spoken by about 1.7 million Nahua peoples, most of whom live mainly in Central Mexico and have smaller populations in the United States."
2287622 Shinnrah6 : do you have people around you that can speak nahuatl that you can practice with? or do you have to engage in forums online?
2287623 Universe City : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nah...
2287624 Universe City : *Almost 2 million, I should say.
2287625 Universe City : Nope, I have a few Nahuatl dictionaries though.
2287626 Shinnrah6 : at least it's not too bad the # of speakers
2287627 Universe City : Yeah...
2287628 Shinnrah6 : damn you should go on language exchange see if there's a nahuatl speaker
2287629 Shinnrah6 : that's hard learning it but not having daily practice.
2287630 Universe City : Jaja. Ehh, I'd rather not. We'd probably end up fighting over whole indigenous identity, etc. thing.
2287631 Shinnrah6 : i wish spanish or some other language was readily used around here... just boring ol' english here in NZ
2287632 Universe City : Yeah, I'd rather learn it on my own.
2287634 Universe City : My dream/goal is to one day be fluent in Nahuatl, speaking, reading, writing with the accent marks and everything. :D
2287635 Shinnrah6 : hey better fighting over that than all the other pointless stuff, right?
2287636 Universe City : I understand.
2287637 Universe City : Ehh...
2287638 Shinnrah6 : good luck there, matey! :D

2287643 Shinnrah6 : well better fighting about that in the sense that at least your engaging with someone over it
2287644 Universe City : Jaja.
2287645 Shinnrah6 : why so precise? lol
2287646 Universe City : Ehh, I'd rather avoid all that and learn it on my own.
2287647 Universe City : lol, because I have to get off at exactly 11 AM...lol
2287648 Shinnrah6 : wait if it's only 1030am in wisconsin, why are you going sleep?
2287649 Shinnrah6 : are you a nigthshift worker?
2287650 Universe City : Nope, I just didn't sleep enough, I guess...

2287652 Universe City : I'm still a little sleepy.
2287653 Universe City : I'm currently unemployed. Until the pandemic is officially over.

2287659 Shinnrah6 : have you caught it yet?
2287660 Shinnrah6 : ah so are you unemployed by choice i suppose?
2287661 Universe City : Nope. And I don't want to. :)
2287662 Universe City : Yeah.
2287663 Shinnrah6 : so question then - how do you survive? do you stay with family and can leverage it that way?
2287664 Universe City : My dad who doesn't live with me (my parents are divorced) has caught it twice.
