	Latino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word Latino (feminine Latina) derives from Latin (the adjectives latinus, latina), originally referring to Latium, the area of Rome, by aitiology derived from a king of the name Latinus.
		The word Latino is debated as to whether it is profoundly an appropriate label for the people living in the Americas outside of the United States and Canada.
		The heavy promotion of the term Latino by European-descent Cubans in Miami onto the much larger Mexican population that is non-European, has fueled sharp critiques of the term as it is currently applied.

	Encyclopedia: Latino
		Latino should not be confused with Ladino (the Spanish-based language traditionally spoken by Sephardic Jews) or Ladin (a Rhaeto-Romance language spoken in the Italian Alps), even though the origin for all three names is the same.
		Latino, according to Virgil, he was King of Lacium, son of Faunus and the nimpha Marica or Fauna.
		Asian Latino, as used in the United States, is a rarely employed term that refers to the Asian immigrant communities, and their descendants, now residing in Latin America; as well as those that have moved on from Latin America to the United States, and identify as such.

	Jews & The Black Holocaust
		Other Jews, including Howard B. Abikoff of the Long Island Jewish Medical Center, Rachel Klein of the Long Island Medical Center and Columbia University, and Gail Wasserman, in the Department of Child Psychiatry at Columbia, are engaged in research which has the potential to link genetics to violence in inner city Black and Latino children.
		Jews in the South were of the merchant class, according to a Jewish historian, having developed "a separate and distinctive accommodation to the plantation economy." The Southern planters depended upon these merchants to move their produce to market as well as for a source of supplies and financing.
		Blacks and Jews have been involved in a re-evaluation of their current and historical relationship.

	The Austin Chronicle Books: The Secret History
		Robert Rosen, practicing lawyer and author of The Jewish Confederates, offered a slightly more thorough evaluation of a wholly different "crypto" group of Jews during his presentation: those who supported and died for the Southern Confederacy during the Civil War.
		For this fascinating group of crypto-Jews -- women who light menorahs without even realizing what they're doing, for instance -- the story begins in the medieval Iberian peninsula, where an unprecedented harmony existed between the three major populations: Muslims, Jews, and Christians.
		Endlessly misunderstood and attacked by various groups throughout his life, he is neither what one expects from a Latino nor a Jew.

	B'nai B'rith: Latin American Affairs
		B’nai B’rith has worked hand in hand with organizations both in the Jewish and in the Latino communities and with Latin American governments to ensure that immigrants into this country are treated fairly and that the United States’ tradition as a haven from persecution is upheld.
		The Latin American Network, created at the beginning of the 90’s in Washington, DC, provides a forum that enables its members mostly Latin American Jews residing in the US to articulate their Jewish and Latin American identities by providing a discussion and action forum on issues that concern Jews throughout the continent.
		B’nai B’rith’s Latin American Affairs Division, in the framework of its Center for Human Rights and Public Policy, is recognized as the Jewish address in Washington.

	Amazon.com: Books: The New Americans
		His parallels between Irish and African Americans, Italian and Latino immigrants and Jews and Asians are profound and extraordinarily thought provoking.
		The black population ("immigrant" in the sense that it moved from the rural South, practically a foreign country, to the industrial North) can weave itself into mainstream American life as the Irish did, the Latino population as the Italians did, and the Asian population as the Jews did.
		He also encourages Americans to be more hopeful about the ability of society to slowly assimilate different 'races' (he makes the point frequently that Jews and the Irish were once thought of as a 'race') and the ability of those 'races' to succeed in America.

	Reconquista - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has also been proposed that the war left the Iberian kingdoms with deep economical crises, which would be the reason behind expelling the Jews (who had lived in the Iberian Peninsula for over ten centuries) in order to confiscate their funds and property.
		The mixing of Christians, Muslims and Jews was later officially ended by the rules of ethnic or religious purity of the Modern Age, namely the Spanish limpieza de sangre and the expulsion of Jews by Manuel I in Portugal.
		There has also, of late, been a movement in the United States to term some pro-immigration Latino politicians as reconquistas.

		According to a preliminary estimate by the Alarcon campaign, Latinos, concentrated in the northern and eastern parts of the district, voted 80 percent for Alarcon, while Jews, heavily represented in the southern and western areas, voted 80 percent for Katz.
		In the final days of the race, Polanco poured upwards of $180,000 into Alarcon's campaign, much of it for an incendiary mail piece targeted to Latino households, associating Katz with the notorious Orange County "poll guard" incident in which Assemblyman Curt Pringle's campaign posted uniformed guards at polling stations to discourage Latinos from voting.
		The Katz campaign, apparently hewing to the old conventional wisdom about low Latino voter turnout, pegged the Latino proportion of "expected 1998 primary voters" at roughly 20 percent of the overall electorate, according to a fact sheet they distributed prior to the election - an apparently fatal miscalculation.

	Zionism = Nazism
		But in fact Israel is one of the most multiracial societies in the world with its population ranging from the blondest of blond Ashkenazic Jews to the blackest of black Jews from Ethiopia and Yemen, including Jews of Iranian, Iraqi, Moroccan, Indian, Latino, and even Chinese origin.
		This accusation against Israel, which is commonly translated into "Zionism = Nazism", claims that Israel and the Jews are racist.
		Other examples of Nazi behavior might be an Israeli version of starving of Arab people or depriving them of education, whereas it well known that the Arab citizens of Israeli are better fed and better educated than anywhere else in the Middle East.

		The only American English terms that come relatively close to nigger in terms of their pejorative punch are far more rudely specific terms such as 'greaser' for Latino/Hispanics, or 'Christ-killer' for Jews.
		"In its pejorative sense, it packs more firepower than other North American ethnic epithets such as spic (for a Latino/Latina), wop (for one of Italian origin), polack (for one of Polish origin), and kike (for a Jew), as offensive as some of these terms can be.
		In some white ethnic subcultures, other terms are used, the origins of which are not directly based on the word nigger.

	PopMatters Multimedia Feature White Supremacist Games or Just More of the Same?
		While there are no close-ups of either the black or Latino characters' faces (dare I say they all look alike), the game provides visual detail of the Jews, as it relates to white supremacist imagination.
		Clearly, the game reflects dominant white supremacist ideas of violent hordes of people of color -- you, the sole protector of the white race, must battle the endless number of black and Latino savages and the manipulating Jew.
		Part of a wave of white supremacist video games, Ethnic Cleansing claims to be the "most politically incorrect video game ever made." Offering players the option to virtually embody a Klansman or a skinhead, Ethnic Cleansing provides game enthusiasts (and racists) the opportunity to become a white supremacist from the privacy of one's home.

	GetReligion: March 26, 2006
		If it wasn’t enough to try to divide the rich from the poor (as if many or most rich people aren’t liberal), black from white, Latino from non-Latino, men from women, etc., now we have them trying to divide evangelical Christians from other religious people.
		They also completely ignore the fact that a large number of Jews supported President Bush (in particular) and his moral/social agenda (in general).
		I’m the lead-off hitter — LeBlanc and Mattingly come by later in the day to bat cleanup — but the shrillarity of Gary Wills’ and Maureen Dowd’s slow curve-ball should be enough for at least a lazy double.

	Hispanic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus, a Brazilian, a Colombian, and a Mexican would all be Latinos, but the Brazilian would not be Hispanic (unless his or her European ancestry was also Spanish, rather than Portuguese).
		The reason for this being that the term "Latin", unlike "Latino", does not solely imply the region of Latin America, and therefore includes all the modern Romance -speaking descendants of the original Latins.
		Hispano crypto-Jews are also believed to exist in the once Spanish-held Southwestern United States and scattered through Latin America.

		Embarking on a new life within a social circle made up of both native Latino Californio landholders and Anglos, she soon mastered the English language and gained a reputation for her beauty and her air of "true aristocracy," as one admirer put it.
		Although Ruiz de Burton's work is not free from racist stereotypes--she portrays poor white squatters, Jews, African Americans, Indians, and the Chinese in racist terms--it does provide a unique perspective on crucial issues of race, class, gender, and power in nineteenth-century America.
		Because Ruiz de Burton writes from the perspective of the conquered Californio population, her work serves as an important corrective to Anglo writers' often celebratory, imperialist narratives of western expansion.

		“Spanglish is the answer to the urgent need of finding quick, immediate words to technology in a modern, wired world where Latinos have immediate access,” he says.
