[Black-Hispanic]

I am living proof that there are black hispanics in the world. Even though you may not recognize us, we usually recognize each other (based on features, and hair etc). The word ‘Hispanic’ categorizes a lot of people. Hispanic can mean people of all colors(black, white, yellow, brown, and red). The word means that you have latin culture in your family lineage, that’s why many of us prefer the term latino. The actual word ‘hispanic’ really doesn’t mean anything more than calling someone ‘asian’. It’s known as a pan-ethnic group. It basically says that people don’t feel like taking the time to ackowledge the difference between someone from the Dominican Republic, and someone from Peru. I agree that black hispanics are underrepresented in the media. I get tired of people telling me that as a Puerto Rican, I’m supposed to look like Jennifer Lopez. There is no stereotypical ‘hispanic’. Sadly though,the white-dominated media makes it seem that way.
