re: #101 Sea Mexican!

There’s this quote that I find particularly idiotic:

This should be plastered all over Florida. 1) Not speaking Spanish hasn’t stopped anyone from claiming Hispanic heritage. By all means, Jennifer Lopez barely speaks Spanish and no one is trying to revoke her Puerto Rican creds. Same goes with hundreds of people from all walks of life. 2) That type of revisionism might not play well with Cuban’s oral history.

This is a stupid arguement. Really, how many of us speak the language of our ancestors (if it wasn’t English?) I sure don’t speak Swedish, but my grandparents most certainly grew up speaking it and even Dad understood it pretty well. My lack of ability to speak the language does not negate my Scandinavian heritage.
