@markymark7803 whataboutism doesn't make an action correct. Countries and markets change and the Brits should have accepted that. In modern times they would. I get you're some anglophile, or some British person hung up on the past. But what you're condoning is imperialism and someone attacking your country. You're saying it's okay for the U.S to attack your country if it felt like it. Whether drugs are illegal or not, they often need to be heavily controlled. Even now, doctors aren't allowed to give some drugs because they've proven too addictive. You can't be so rightwing or patriotic and jingoistic to not recognize when you're country does dumb shit.

joão jose silva costa curta Hispanic is English but the equivalent is used in Spanish. It's just not as common depending on region. hispanidad, hispanoamericano, ect. You're being dumb or weird. You're typing in English but not understanding how some words are anglicized to English?

@Nutty151 there aren't. There never was even(maybe depending on region). Who knows that specific person's circumstance. But it sounded like she didn't want to date him. That could be cause she thought he was a foreigner depending on the country(so wouldn't stick around). In my region, white wouldn't be a different race. So saying white or saying that would be weird. If she was in the U.S than who knows. Similar to how darker skin Europeans aren't different races(in Italy for example). Skin color doesnt determine a different race as drastically as it does in the U.S. Or she really thought he was a white, non Hispanic person. As he might be Greek.

@pacomaciasarrate6809 well you're partly wrong. The countries you mentioned have been unstable. And there are countries that don't have any major division by ethnic lines. And you should be careful with such lines as they're often used by racists. And what you've written comes off as you're trying to blame a different group of people of not being white as your reasoning. What happened is simply that each region mostly views itself as an ethnicity. The tensions were not along ethnicities. It was people in power, maintaining it, versus actually developing everything else. Well some issues might exist in a most classist or racist way, there's very little ethnic tension by the time the countries were founded, or the centuries after, that had instability. Then again, Spain itself fared badly. And I'm not sure but did they have help after from the EU. Or just being in such a stable region. Benefits a lot of other countries just didn't have. Also while they started ruling over the natives... The natives mostly died out from disease(made worst by exploitation). Like the vast majority was Spaniards over time. Trying to say that there weren't colonies of immigrants is also partly wrong. They were immigrants. They were colonies. They were a colony of immigrants. They just also included mixed kids. The same as the countries you mentioned. It's just that some mixed more, or with different groups over time. Like any country does.

@edwardhayes6111 heh yea they did. And the U.S Americans were allowed to immigrant with conditions that they didn't follow. I think thats where the right-wing fear in the border is, projection of what happened

@alcapone4635 they actually kinda did. At first and then incidentally with disease.

@arriba_teruel it wasn't from the start. There was a period where they treated them harshly. Well it depends. But it did improve over time. And they did integrate them.

@blakespurlock5322 that's not true in the U.S either. It's just a lot of them don't identify as American white. Depending on what's being asked. It's irrespective of race. Or it has Hispanic and Hispanic non-white ect. Basically it's separate categories but can substitute race if one is inclined.

@wazzupdj98d61 that's not true either. Our natives died out too depending on the region and there was immigration to the colonies as well. You're acting like we're the phillipines when we aren't. The Spaniards mixed, but eventually there were more Spaniards than natives. And most don't identify as Indian either. And that definitely doesn't mean most are native(like half). The natives were a dwindling population.
