Ok, hold on here. Stop everything. I’m am confused about this country, Latin or is it Latina? I have looked through every book of maps I have and no where can I find this country. I tried Googling it and a bunch of South American countries came up but not one of them was this country, Latin or Latina. There must be because there is a language called Latin which is ancient. And now they have there own Air Force? Do they also have a Army? I found all the counties of the Caribbean, Central and North America, and South American but no Latin or Latina. In a computer class I once took, a young man sat down at the PC next to me and we talked about this and that and one day he asked me where I was from. I told him America. He said what nationality I was. I told him American. Duh! I asked him his nationality and he said he was a Latino. I asked him where he was from and he said Mexico. I said oh you’re a Mexican. And he corrected me and said no, he was a Latino. I dropped the subject because he for some reason was getting made. I could never understand why he wasn’t proud to be called a Mexican. After all it was the Mexicans who invaded Texas and put Dave Crocket against a wall at the Alamo and shot him(March 6, 1836), right? Who wouldn’t be proud of a moment like that? What Mexican wouldn’t be proud of getting the United States to join the fight of WW I because of a radio transmission from Germany to Mexico called the Zimmerman note. A telegram that was sent to Mexico saying that the Germans will help the Mexicans reclaim the land that they lost from the Americans if they joined the war on their side by invading America. It wasn’t the sinking of the Lusitania that got us into the war.
Another thing that confuses me about our friends to the south is the celebrating of Cinco de Mayo. A non Mexican holiday when the Mexicans removed by force the French for there land. Remember the French who help us in our fight with the British. If it weren’t for the French there might not have been a 4th of July. With all these pound moments in the history of Mexico, why do they want to be called Latino’s.
If any one finds this country, Latin or Latino please let me know. In the mean time, happy 4th of July America.
