In the US Latinos are not considered white so Michelle was technically correct I suppose but the way she jumped in to correct was incredibly annoying.

I don't get it either, there is one think being offensive another pointing out simple facts.

like i mentioned already hispanic is not a race its a culture i would post an article of what hispanic is. most people in the uk think a hispanic is simply a person that looks like what most mexicans are which is a mestizo who have mixed white spanish and native american ancestry but there are white hispanics black hispanics and more commonly mixed race hispanics. a hispanic is someone who comes from a latin american country or has roots in those countries. btw did you know camron diaz was a white hispanic? thats my example.

I find Michelle an utterly repulsive, two faced, hypocrite .

not true at all i grew up some of my life in the states the hispanics that dont conider themselves white are the hispanics that are not white plain and simply i know many hispanics who consider themselves white and they are the hispanics who are of pure spanish ancestry.

To be honest I am not surprised by their comments or lack of knowledge they exhibit the lack every day.
It think it is an American issue, where Hispanics are considered a different race and are subjected to racism....There immigration issues involved Hispanics, then there is Cuba and the fact Hispanics are often employed as servants by the rich in the US....Michelle was basically saying don't deny your ethnicity to Cami.

Well that's a petty crap thing to happen to you. But it just shows their ignorance.

Punctuation might help that make sense.

Especially considering her former comment to Patsy about sounding racist!
this for all of you who keep saying there are no white hispanics, one thing i hate is when people argue with facts and especially when it comes to your own culture or someone you personally know about.

I'm not saying we shouldnt expand our knowledge of the world, but that's just it because it's a minor issue here their is an understandable reason why people would be uninformed.

its against forum rules to be rude about spelling just saying.

in my opinion some are more or less saying so. there are black hispanics also but like i said some people seem to think all hispanics have the eva longoria look.
Cami is Cuban. She will no doubt have a mixed race heritage, either Latin American Indian or black. There is a big problem of racism against Latinos in the US, to the extent that many pretend to be Italian. Being a Latina herself, I think Michelle was really saying own your heritage, you're not white. Cami knew what she as saying and quickly agreed with her. No issue.

there are white cubans lool. seriously i find it funny when people argue with people about their own culture or cultures they grew up in. and like ive said many times latin americans can be of any race and that includes white.
i suppose camron diaz, christina augulara and eddie cibrian are all not white loool.

I haven't seen the HL's yet but I'm pretty sure your interpretation of it is wrong. I've never ever heard anyone refer to anyone or themselves as white Hispanic.

I hear what you're saying. Cuba has a lot of whites ie, those of purely Spanish decent, more than most countries I think.
