re: #719 bosforus

Being a Spanish speaker myself I concur.

There is NO way to translate the actual Spanish into anything but “the race.” Yes, with in the Hispanic culture, the term has taken on subtle meanings, but that is due to trying the separate the actual meaning with the negative associations that it has been tagged with.

And there are Hispanics who still use the term to mean “the race” along with all the negatives that it can imply and they are proud of it.
