    Many Germans became Latinos. Like Gisele Bündchen.

    But my take is that SJC is actually just Florida Man.

    Excellent.

    I identify as Florida Man.

    But I can be Latino and Florida Man at the same time?

    You might like this.

    New Year’s Eve 2012 I was in Perth at an Irish bar. I got in good with several Irish there who lived that I knew so much Irish music. At one point an Aussie guy was giving me a hard time and said “where do you think you’re from, Cork?” Several of the Irish that I had been hanging out with stood up around me and said “We’re all from Cork.” The Aussie guy backed down.

    I did a project for a Minneapolis Hispanic Business incubator called Mercado Central. Their business manager was blond, blue eyed and her last name was Edelstein. She told me she grew up in Mexico City and did identify as Latina.

    I'll drink Guiness, but really only when I'm in Ireland.

    It's so weird, but everywhere in the ****ing world I go, I see an Irish pub. I have been to 50+ countries and I am pretty sure I have never been anywhere where there was NOT an Irish pub!

    Yep everywhere there is an Irish Pub and a Chinese restaurant.

    It makes traveling a lot easier and more fun for me!

    I should be back for a visit sometime this year. I thought I was going to be back sooner but have been dealing with work and other issues.

    Might be not quite the flex they (being the OP. I've never met them in person so I'm not going to presume. It's just that they are so obsessed with this subject, it's hard not to think it's projection) think it is.

    Are Argentinians considered Latinos?

    Depends on which ones you ask.

    Depends on which part of the country you're in.

    It just depends.
