Is it not PC to call Mexicans spanish?
Answer:
Hispanics aren't Spanish. It doesn't have anything to do with PC. People from Spain are Spanish, they're European. I find it disturbing when Hispanics refer to themselves as Spanish.
i doubt labeling and name calling will ever
be subject to regulation until we resolve the bigger
problems.
What the call themselves is all fine and good that does not a person make or in this case an ethnic group... it's all good!
it's not PC to disagree with anything a Mexican says,and it's not PC to look at them in the eyes if you are not latino
Speaking Spanish does not make one Spanish.
They are not Spanish. Spanish people were born in Spain. A more proper term would be spanish speaking. Should I call myself Spanish because I took spanish in high school and college?
PC is a relative term as to what the illegal mexicans are demanding that week, disagree and you are a racist and your words if not PC for that week will be deleted...lol
Some might be Spanish, others can be Mestizoz, a mixture of Spanish and Indians. So it depends the indivitual you are dealing with.
i just asked two of my friends who are Mexican, they said it would be a no no to call them " Spanish" because they are not from the country of Spain, it is just the language they speak. They would prefer to be called well, Mexican lol! or Latino, and some would prefer to be called by there "tribal" background Aztec, Maya, etc. but most settle for Latino. and yes I really asked them LOL
Hope this helped.

PC or not, I think if a person refers to themselves by a name, no one should be concerned. But when someone refers to another as a slur, everyone should respond by ignoring that jerk!
It is simply incorrect. Spanish people are from Spain.
Mexicans or other nationalities here in the USA don't called them self Spanish or Hispanics,,, those terms were given to us by you people. About the Spanish calling it is just because we speak Spanish. But you don't called everybody that speak English, English,, right? People from Spain are called Spaniards, not Spanish, Spanish is just a language.They are rather be called by their Nationality which they are very proud of. Like Mexicans, Argentinians, Peruvians, Venezuelans, Colombians, Panamenians, Nicaraguans, etc. etc. etc. You see, you people like to group us,, and that's something that we don't like or understand because is wrong... Hope you learn something..
Where do they come from? To me, a Spanish person would be from Spain, a Mexican person would be from Mexico, etc.
first of all what makes you think that all Latinos in this country are Mexicans? i have never in my life heard a Mexican call themselves Spanish, that word is used by people that are not of the Latino or Hispanic race.
It's just confusing - like calling Americans English. Spanish- or English- speaking though, that's fine.
We never call ourselves Hispanics, we were given that name.
Have you ever fill out a Job, Rent, or ID application---when question ask for ethicity. Hispanic is our only choice, by USA definition
