7. imdjh question
Father is Colombian, mother Scotish/English...
It depends how he wants to be identified... I would say Latino. Never never Hispanic. I have known children's parents that when they want to get scholarships offered to Latinos for College, they indentify the children as Latinos. LOL
My nephews have a Texas mother... I have never known if they identify themselves as Latinos or Hispanics. (Their favorite identification is as "Aggies", LOL) My brother is a retired military colonel and one of his sons was born in Panama... He used to say he was a"Panapuertoricanmerican..." His Texas grandmother was of indian heritage and he now has long hair (to his father's chagrin) and uses clothes with native american symbols.

I really am thinking of those of us that are essentially Latinos, although meny children of mixed marriages call themselve or like to be identified as (horror) Hispanics.:dilemma:
My brother used to call his mother in law belonging to the "loud mouth tribe" :rofl:
