Official Hispanic Club Options

[*a painefull euphoria*]

Well seeing that there isnt a hispanic orientated club on here i decided to start one.

Here we will talk about anything hispanic related.
food.music.travel.politics.culture.language.anything and everything.

You dont have to be Hispanic to join, a hispanic at heart is just as good as a real one.

However there are a few rules before you can join.

Rules
--No member bashing. this also includes derrogitive terms for a hispanic
Even Beaner and even if you are hispanic yourself..
Spic: A highly offensive term referring to a Spanish-speaking person from Mexico, Central or South America, Spain, or Portugal
--Some chit chat is alowed. but all out lets-talk-about-my-dog chat that disrupts the whol purpose of this topic is not allowed
-- Dont be afraid to ask questions if you really want to know what "chinga tu madre" means.
[its a bad phrase lol] then ask away.
--Which brings me to this. If you know spanish profanity,dont use it in here
-- And finaly if you do decide to post in spanish PLEASE provide a translation as some members are not all "fluent" in the language.

So join away.
And if anyone is intrested in making graphics for this club. them post them =]

[*Duchess of Dork*]

Egun on. :) (Basque for good morning/good day)

I'm Israeli and Spanish (Basque in heritage). :) I'll join. Most of my Spanish relatives are dead, but my mom and aunt are still alive and my mom really is the only one with any interest in our Spanish ancestry.

I'm quite fond of Pisto (which is like ratatouille, if you know what that is), particularly when it's served on crepes.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

^Yes i am familar with that dish. But ive never paired it with crepes! lol

Ive always paired Pisto with a grilled fish,,but with crepes i must try

For those unfamiliar with what the hell we are talking about.
heres what Pisto looks like:


not a really really good image.


Here is it traditionaly served.

Well since i dont know if icecreamisyummy wanted to join or not.

Rebecca is member number one of the Official Hispanic Club.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

Bienvenidos Peggy! Your spanish is excellent lol better than mine and im mexican

Translation: Very good. Six is my favorite number.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

^
So whats everyones favorite mexican/latin cuisine resteraunt that they go to for REAL AUTHENTIC Latin food?

Mine is this place called Amada's cafe. They serve Cuban & Mexican foods its really good.

[radhikaeatsraman]

Omg, yes! There's this place called "Pico de Gallo" (it's Mexican) and their chicken flautas are so crispy and light. And their salsa is so chunky and spicy, mmmmm. ¡Me encanta!

Lo siento, pero ¿puedo corregir este párrafo?

Miembra debe ser miembro, y no se cambia con los géneros. (genders)

¡Tu español es muy bueno! Estás aprendiendo muy rápidamente.

[sprezzatura]

^Gracias! No me gustan los verbos y gramatica del espanol. Son complicados.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

^both of you guy's spanish put me to shame..

speaking of pico de gallo....its too hot for me

[Cloud9Nine]

I love pico de gallo...anywho i'm Nicaraguan yay! I'd love to join and hoorah for creating this

[Rachel]

^both of you guy's spanish put me to shame..

speaking of pico de gallo....its too hot for me

Pico de gallo is not hot!! I love Mexican food, esp. when it's spicy. There is a little place called Los Dos Molinos, absolutely amazing. They have the spiciest salsa, it's delish.

[*icecreamisyummy*]

My name is Joselyn.

I've never had real mexican food.

ive had dominican food, but at my house all we eat is puerto rican food obviously. My favorite puerto rican food is guanimes. i doubt ppl know what it is. i wouldnt be able to explain it either.

yes there is more than just arroz con gandules and flan in the Puerto Rican culture.

Mi espanol no es muy bueno. ya estado viviendo en lost estados unidos por 8 anos, y se me a olvidado el espanol. todavia lo entiendo muy bien, pero tengo problems hablandolo.

Hay algunas personas que nacieron en su pais y no en los estados unidos???

tambien, entoy mu sorprendida con el espanol de algunas personas aqui. es mejor que el mio!!!

[sprezzatura]

^The only thing I can correct from your Spanish is that it's "problemas" not "problems." I think your Spanish grammar is very good.

I am not Hispanic nor born in America. I am Chinese and I was born in Hong Kong.

I don't think I have tried real Hispanic food, I see places like Taco Bell, Del Taco, El Pollo Loco, etc. that are just AMERICANIZED MEXICAN FOOD.

[*icecreamisyummy*]

i have a guatemalan friend who jstu moved to the US like 2 years ago and he says i sound like a gringo when i speak spanish.... i agree with him lol

[iROCKYOURSOCKS]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FINALLY!!!! i wanted a hispanic group finally we have one!! I WANNA JOIN!!!

LATINOS UNIDOS!!!!

mi nombre es Gabby

[roflsup]

yea i have a question. why do mexicans always jump the border. not trying to be racist, but you know its true. i want to know the real reason, not some crap reason ignorant fools give.

[HakunaMatata]

That is extremely rude and unnecessary.

[*corizzle20*]

she said not to be afraid to ask questions, so here i am asking a question that i really want to know the answer to.

i would ask the same question as roflsup. why u being so mean to him?

[EddieV]

Hey I'll join, Hispanic culture interests me, plus I'm part Puerto Rican and all my girlfriend's have been Hispanic. Name's Eddie.

[radhikaeatsraman]

Okey doke, so let's talk MÚSICA, gente. (música = music, gente = people)

A mi me encanta bachata, salsa, tango, reggaeton, rock en español... (Juanes, Aterciopelados, La Oreja de Van Gogh, etc) y más. (jeje)

(I love bachata, salsa, tango, reggaeton, rock in Spanish (Juanes, Aterciopelados, La Oreja de Van Gogh, etc) and more. (haha) )

[*a painefull euphoria*]

So welcome new members that i have added on here.
as for

yea i have a question. why do mexicans always jump the border. not trying to be racist, but you know its true. i want to know the real reason, not some crap reason ignorant fools give.

First of all.As much as i am OPEN to awnser questions there are some that are entirely rude. i have specificaly posted that racist comments even ones like that are offencive
sterotyping also applys in that.

but i will still try to awnser you
with this.

1.THERE IS NOT ACTUAL f**king "JUMPING OF THE BOARDER"
its really a bunch of mexicans running past a boarder line...

2. I as a hispanic will tell you that not every mexican came over here in such a way. again sterotyping much?

3.No...again i have to stress that not every mexican comes to america flying or jumping over great fences or anything.

did that help?


edit

I hate reggaeton with a passion. lmao
and i am the biggest selena fan ever.
RIP

[DominicanaMel]

LMAO!!! Why do you hate reggeaton?!?!?!? I'M KIDDING! Anyway, Selena is and will always be the best. I love all types of music....lately, I've been into tango, and salsa....like Marc Antony....I love alot.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

I dont know i just...i liked it for a while when only puerto rico had it and then when it became all mainstream and overplayed... i just got burned out.

[SUZYbomb]

I'm Native American [Navajo] & Spanish.

I love my mix!

I don`t know any spanish, just tidbits, maybe you all could help me learn.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

thats cool
would you like to join.


if so jsut give me your name and i belive you will be member number 10.

[SUZYbomb]

yea i have a question. why do mexicans always jump the border. not trying to be racist, but you know its true. i want to know the real reason, not some crap reason ignorant fools give.

To make a few things clear:

1. Mexico is a very poor country & American offers so much more to them, like everyone else who comes to America whether it's legally or illegally.

2. It's not all Mexicans who "jump the border" as you call it. People from Europe and other places do it also.

3. If America were to send all immigrants away, only Native Americans would have the right to live here.

Please don't think it's only Mexicans who enter illegally.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

^amen girl.

GAH i love reggaeton but from certain artist theres like some i dont like at all. I LOVE Oreja de Van Gogh and Shakira. I also like the classics like Jose Jose, Luis Miguel y alejandro fernandez.

Wow. You don't know any Spanish yet your username is NUNCA TUYO. Haha.

LET'S TALK ABOUT ARTE HISPANO (Hispanic art)!
Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Simon Bolivar...

[HakunaMatata]

I don't understand why Picasso's work is so attractive.

I've never watched the movie Frida nor have seen much of her work, so I have yet to make a conclusion about her.

Diego Rivera, on the other hand, I adore. His murals are powerful and amazing, I hope that one day I'll be able to see them first-hand.

Oh and Diana, if you would be so kind, consider me part of the club. :]

[*a painefull euphoria*]

Frida Kahlo's whole background story fasinates me.
her art is pretty.
i remmber it being shown in chicago for a while som of her best pieces.

hmm ill post later with some pictures.

welcome kayceeisms is member 11.

[sprezzatura]

Haha I forgot Diego Rivera. I agree, I do love his works.

I think Picasso isn't attractive because the cubism style seems odd to most people. But I think the shapes fascinate me.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

I think Picasso isn't attractive because the cubism style seems odd to must people. But I think the shapes fascinate me.

i love the odd shapes. it makes me wonder what the hell he was thinking when he was making his paintings

[clarity]

aw crud, I'm gonna absolutely love this club.

hehe if your ever looking for a vice presi i'm here.

haha anyways I was born in Guatemala.
so..add me.. now!

Lol, please?

TheeNamesLucy... LucyMcNinja.

Oh and I think you should post in the first post the difference between being hispanic and spanish so people who automatically call someone hispanic spanish or says its the same thing will know the difference.

muchas gracias.

[DominicanaMel]

Oh man! Quarantine I loove the banners!!!! I'm not worthy!!! I wish I could do stuff like that. *sigh.....* I'm so incompitent.....lol Ok, back to earth. Good job ^_^

[iROCKYOURSOCKS]

^no i never have even heard of it.

its like some diffrent verison of American Idol. its kinda funny but it comes out on cable



To Quarantine.

I LOVE YOUR BANNERS GAH!

[*a painefull euphoria*]

hmmm i should look for it sometime.
i tried this year to stay away from shows like american idol.
i got burned out of listening to people sing for 2 hours after american idol season 2

[clarity]

Estoy realmente alegre tú los individuos como las banderas. En cuanto alguien mencionó Selina arriba, amé sus canciones y es triste que la mataron.




translation: I'm really glad you guys like the banners. As for someone mentioned Selina above, I loved her songs and it's sad that she was killed.

[radhikaeatsraman]

OH, I just saw the first post.
I'm Radhika. :D

[*a painefull euphoria*]

hi Radhika. i edited the first post.

Yeah its really a shame she died so young and in such a horrible way.
i wonder what happened to that woman that shot her.

[HakunaMatata]

Yolanda Saldivar is currently serving a life-sentence in Texas.

I thought Ms. Lopez did an excellent job portraying her. It wasn't just an imitation, she really acted her heart out.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

yeah i loved jlo's preformance as salena

i hated how people [mostly mexicans] protested when they found out a puerto rican would be playing the role of selena.
that was bullshit right there.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

im bumping this
idk if thats allowed?

[clarity]

People protested? Ehh, that's stupid. I mean at least the person who played her was Hispanic.

[*Monochrome.*]

^exactly.
they should be gratefull

if this was the old days it be some white girl with a black wig with tanish makeup.
its amazing how it was back in the day.

[iROCKYOURSOCKS]

i saw on tv yesterday that Yolanda in 18 more years she can file to be left out of jail but after a list load of conditions. I doubt that she will be free. ugh she is so freakin ugly. and she still says it was all an accident and how can she kill her best friend....she pisses me off.

I LOVED the movie. jlo did a good job of portraying Selena.

[*Monochrome.*]

i loved the movie to death.
yolanda looks like crap.but thats what she gets for killing a legend.
well i should say that the legend of selena isnt dead as her voice still lives on but still.

[*Monochrome.*]

Bumping again.

new disscussion

Does anyone know how to do spanish style dancing?

tango?salsa?cha-cha slide [just kidding]???

[radhikaeatsraman]

^I can do merengue and cumbia. (Sort of.) But I don't have great dance skills in general.

[*Monochrome.*]

Nor do i.
i can just barely do the tango.

[*Monochrome.*]

bump...again.
i should probably let this club die out

[HakunaMatata]

Don't, Diana. You've tried very hard to keep it afloat; just give it some time.

Ehh, I have no dance skills. I can do a liiiiiiitle of the salsa and tango, but just the basic steps.

[*Monochrome.*]

lol thanks.

dancing has never been a specialty of mine lol.

[clarity]

Hola. Apesadumbrado no he estado encendido adentro por siempre aquí. Estoy intentando ser más activo en el centro del recurso. Detrás en asunto, utilizo hacer bailar mexicano. ¡Estoy consiguiendo el alimento mexicano esta noche!




Me Encanta hacer que la gente enrolla abajo de la página. (this was probably said wrong)







translation:
Hi. Sorry I haven't been on in forever here. I'm trying to be more active in the Resource Center. Back on topic, I use to do Mexican dancing. I'm getting Mexican food tonight!


I love to make people scroll down the page.

[shortcake]

another latina wanting to join =D
Guatemalan to be specific.
so uh who here likes regeatton? i know i do !
on my name's jen

so question. anyone here embarassed of being latino?
cuz some of my friends are. personally I'm not. I'm a proud latina
I embrace my culture and live it. I am American AND Latina.

the one thing that does upset me is the fact that people ASSUME anyone who looks latino or speaks spanish is mexican. I'm sorry but we're not all Mexicans. i just think that people can be ignorant sometimes. There are Guatemalans. Peruvians. Nicaraguans. not only Mexicans.
I mean i love mexicans, but i dunno i think people need to be imformed that latinos are made up of many different nationalities.

[*Monochrome.*]

I love to make people scroll down the page.

Yes you do lol
luckily my computer mouse has a little roller wheel on it =]

welcome jen!
you are member 13
[check out the nice banners lucy [Quarantine.] made to put in your sig ]

[*icecreamisyummy*]

i can dance salsa merengue bachata and a little cumbia. ive ALWAYS wanted to learn tango. i look good in those kinds of dresses though

dont let this club die out!

i get mad when "white" people complain about all the minority scholarships there are out there. they just dont get the point of it. i tried explaining it to my friend, but he'll never understand

[*Monochrome.*]

yeah.
really i dont see what peoples issues are against minority scholarships.
i had a couple small latinas in the fine arts scholarships to help me pay my way through culinary arts school.
but my biggest 20,000 dollar one was from the ACF [american culinary federation] for being the top chef in a state competion.
so i mean its not like thats all i relied on from college.

[clarity]

another latina wanting to join =D
Guatemalan to be specific.

i`m guatemalannnnn.


i was born in guatemala.

[shortcake]

i was born in guatemala.

i wasnt born there but yeah i am =D. good to see im not the only one. and what is all this drama about minority scholarships (latino ones) whatever. they have for different ones too. so psh. ha

[*Monochrome.*]

well you get the "white" folks who complain and say we are catering to the "illegals"

so yeah thats the whole issue behind that.

not to mention there are multiple other issues

[shortcake]

oh i see. so i guess in some the scholarship things are integrated with this "immigration situation" whatever. hella dumb.

i always find it intersting when i hear someone at my school say "we need to get rid of these illegal hispanics coming into OUR country and taking OUR jobs. We need to put a stop to all these hispanics jumping the border"

i see that you guys were talking about art. i think im going to a Botero ( i belive his name is Botero. ya know that artist that paints people in the shape of a mandolin? i think a mandolin) well yeah ima be going to one of his exhibits pretty soon. And i wanna see the movie Frida.

[*Monochrome.*]

its really really intresting to see what people think in the illegal imigration debate thread.

Hm, I've never heard of someone saying Hispanics in that context. I don't know if this has been brought up, but has anyone here watched "A Day Without A Mexican"? Apparently it's very revealing, I want to watch it as soon as I have the time.

i never watched it and you never probably watched it dumbass
just shut the f**k up f**king idiot

PERSONAL ATTACKS
Flaming, trolling, member bashing-you name it-will not be tolerated here. If you're making an argument, it's always better to retort with reason and composure. Personal attacks are childish and have no place in these forums.

That comment is very much uncalled for and unnecessary.

what people dont realize is that the illegals are doing jobs the typical american WILL NOT DO. i mean, are you really gonna go srub a toilet if you know you can get a better job jsut because you are legal? does that make sense to anyone? im not illegal. us citizen all the way. so i dont really know how the whole illegal stuff works and getting citizenship and all the complicated stuff.
also, people here in the US need to freaken get through their heads that hispanics are NOT the only ones to come over illegally, there are europeans, africans, asians... people from all over the world want to have a better life and live in the United States of America.

does anyone know about the whole gaining citizenship by marrying someone from the country???? what if they divorce? does the person who's not technically american lose their citizenship???

ohhh and ive seen the movie Frida. I like it.

my aunt named her dogs Diego and Frida haha its cute!

So does anyone here like Julieta Venegas??!!

[shortcake]

my aunt named her dogs Diego and Frida haha its cute!

get the f**k out of my thread.

nevermind...Hi..Suzzette

Hm, I've never heard of someone saying Hispanics in that context. I don't know if this has been brought up, but has anyone here watched "A Day Without A Mexican"? Apparently it's very revealing, I want to watch it as soon as I have the time.

ive seen that movie. its really really intresting to see that noone can really live with a mexican. heh

[shortcake]

I heard that movie ( a day without a Mexican ) brought up a lot of controversy. I haven't seen the movie but I think the idea behind the movie es muy bueno, y algo que creo que todo los "americanos" que no quieren nosotros latinos immigrantes aqui. Lo deben que ver y entender la importancia de ellos *es very good, and something that I think all the "Americans" that don't want us latino immigrants here. They should see it and see the importance of them*

does anyone here read the spanish literary books (AP Spanish 5) I've read a lot of them because of my spanish class like: Cervantes, Quevedo, Gongora, de la Vega, and MUCH MUCH more. that class is so hard =/

[HakunaMatata]

My friend had to read Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabrial Garcia Marquez in Spanish, and she found it rather difficult. This year I'll be reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by the same author, and apparentely it's a great but difficult book. And to mention very detailed.

I've also read Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel; apparently magical realism is very popular with Latin authors.

[*Monochrome.*]

ah i never really cared much for chicano literature.

I find that the dialouge in those type of books really stiff and theres no emotion to the characters.
and that its always the same senario over and over. not to mention the over use of "magical realism "

idk i proably havent read any good ones

[SUZYbomb]

Wow. You don't know any Spanish yet your username is NUNCA TUYO. Haha.

LET'S TALK ABOUT ARTE HISPANO (Hispanic art)!
Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Simon Bolivar...

LOL, i learned that from my friend.. it`s my motto, "never yours". okay, so i know a tiny bit of spanish.

[*Monochrome.*]

^lol thats cute.

Although I respect your opinions, I disagree with those who say that Americans don't want the jobs illegal Mexicans are doing.

The reason illegal Mexicans are doing the so-called "dirty work" is because they have no choice. Those jobs pay very little and have almost no benefits attached to them. Americans are not willing to take those jobs because they have the choice. Illegal Mexicans very well know that they are being exploited but cannot do anything about it because they are afraid of revealing their immigrant status. Adding to that is the fact that immigrant labor laws are not being enforced properly in this country.

If so-called "dirty work" starts offering higher pay and better benefits, Americans will take the jobs.

My friend had to read Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabrial Garcia Marquez in Spanish

ha thats interesting for homework i have to read one of his short stories.

Im not sure where stand oh the whole illegal immigration situation. I do think that it has been blown up into major porportions. I think what bothers me about it is that the media has been making it seem like only hispanics are the ones who are crossing over illegally. Perhaps they are the ones who are doing it the most but they are not the ONLY ONES.

Do most of you guys speak Spanish at home and eat Latino food at home?

Well, I am not necessarily against illegal immigration since that would make me a hypocrit. I used to be illegal, not by choice, however. My parents decided to leave the comforts of the old country (Mexico) to come to the US. The joke of it was that the relatives that live in Mexico, are way better off than my shady-ass relatives that live here in the US. In fact, the ones that live here have found a way to collect on Welfare. How's that for Mexican pride? Viva la raza, lazy-ass, welfare collecting, raza. In fact, my Mexican relatives are educated, have professional careers, and doing very well. Hmm... Does this mean that all you need is an education to pull ahead??? Well let's see. We get all these immigrant workers from India that take away the jobs ear-marked for Americans. No one really complains because it helps companies' bottom lines. Yet, take a lettuce-picking job from an "American" and give it a Mexican, and oh boy, wait not fair. What is wrong with this picture?

Why can't my fellow Mexicans stay in their countries, go to school, get educated, fix the problems in their country, and make their existence better? Why do they feel that they have to boycott and protest becuase the American government doesn't want them here? Why don't they protest their own shady corrupt government? Why don't they instill change over there?

I am Mexican and yet I am disgusted by all the ones that come up here and expect handouts, or think that they are owed something. I'm also disgusted at the Mexicans in Mexico for being so corrupt and not making things better. Doesn't their Catholic religion teach them to be better Christians? No wonder my father always jokes about how hell has to be big enough to hold all these Mexicans...

I agree alot of my relatives are very lazy and its all about viva la raza with them.I remmber being in school and all the chicanos would be like "im not going to school tommrow in protest". i always thought when they did stuff like that they truely didnt understand the meaning of what those protests were.

FYI-Lucy [the official hispanic clubs'vice president] has had a name change Quarantine<a beautiful nothing anyother name changes should be stated in your next post or in PM to me.this is so people dont get confused and so i can update the first page.thanks =)

^ heh thanks, yeah sorry about that.


My Opinion On Illegal Immigration:
For some reason people think I'm illegal just because I was born in Guatemala. Well FYI, I was adopted, and I have a green card. I'm a citizen.

What I hate is that now a days, including my best friend, almost everyone thinks all hispanics are illegal or atleast classifys them as illegal. I mean for example, me and my supossedly "best friend" rides this bus and theres this girl whos hispanic who always tells my friend to just "hurry up" I think she dislikes us but back to the point, me and my friend were discussing it and she said "I wish i could just tell that hispanic slut to just go back to mexico bitch" and I just stood there standing like "Excuse me?" and see the the thing is this isn't the first time shes said something like that... well there were these guys working on our road to fix it, and well they were staring at us and she was like "EW! I DONT WANT TO BE RAPED BY SOME ILLEGAL MEXICAN RAPIST" and I was like.. "Omg." and she'll admit she's racist, and I ask her "Why do you accept me then?" and she say's because I was raised by white people. And well I tell her "Well if your gonna be racist, you don't have to be racist infront of someone of that race." I mean seriously, its just so stupid.


If they say all illeagal imigrants have to go home, well that means we'd have to back in time and send all the british who came here because all this land really did belong to the Native Americans Which is why they're called native americans.

Yes, I know I'm double posting. Whatever.

I think before Mexicans keep coming in, they should talk to people who started illegal immigration: the Spaniards.

I mean, they didn't tread into the Americas, go up to the Inca/Aztecs and be like, "OMG we want welfare plzzzzz give us!11" Nuh-uhhh. They were some BAMF's, they took it to the next level. They were like, "Mira, puto, esta es NUESTRA tierra ahora. Si no te gusta, podemos matarte, ¿claro? Vale." (Look, bitch, this is OUR land now. If you don't like it, we can kill you, 'kay? Kay. (Vale = "okay" in Spain.) ). And they're doing it BIG now, ya tú sabes. (you know). The Spaniards had illegal immigration down to an artform, fool. yeahhhhh.

(Note: This is only a joke, so please don't be offended.)
