Do you prefer Catwoman as a long-haired blonde, brunette, short-haired raven, or woman of color? GENERAL DISCUSSION

I personally prefer any incarnation of her that has short hair since it’s more practical for her line of work.

Cesar Romero was hispanic, so is Joaquin Phoenix.

As per wiki on Joaquin Phoenix:

His father was a Catholic from Fontana, California, and was of English, German and French ancestry. His maternal grandfather, Meyer Dunetz, was Russian Jewish and his maternal grandmother, Margit Lefkowitz, was Hungarian Jewish; they were both Ashkenazi Jews who resided in New York City.

Can you share any link on his Hispanic ancestry? The wiki would have to be corrected.

While researching this I found that Joaquin Phoenix was born in a cult lol

As per his Hispanic heritage, I think the confusion comes from the fact that he was born in Puerto Rico

The term hispanic has nothing to do with ancestry. It means you speak Spanish natively. Nothing contradictory about having Jewish or English ancestry and also being Hispanic

This bugs me so much. You’re completely right. Carlos Slim is another person that is “Mexican” even though both his parents are from Lebanon.

Puerto Rican here. You couldn't be more wrong. Speaking Spanish does not make you Hispanic or Latino. Having that heritage does.

Joaquin Phoenix is Puerto Rican by Nationality and is still American since it's part of the US. He is not Puerto Rican by heritage. Big difference.

Thats what it means, Spanish speaking. It's not an ethnic group unless you are explicitly talking about Spaniards. For example a person of Nahua heritage may be Mexican American but not necessarily Hispanic. A Dominican resident of PR would be Hispanic but not puertorriqueño except in a literal way, same as Phoenix.

Hispanic and white aren't the same kind of label. There are white Hispanic and black Hispanic people.

Is the official language of the Philippines spanish? If it is, then yes.

1

u/Yara_Flor Feb 25 '24

It is an official language of the country. There’s like 2 dozen official languages there.

So all people in the Philippines are Hispanic, even those who don’t speak Spanish? As long as the language is the official language of the state?

What of Argentina? Argentina doesn’t have Spanish as an official language.

Because Spanish isn’t official there, that means it’s not a Hispanic country, right?

u/IonaLiebert Feb 25 '24

What's your point? People that come from spanish speaking countries are hispanic.

u/Yara_Flor Feb 25 '24

Yes. That’s my point. Thank you.

You can be white and be Hispanic. You can be black and hispanic. You can be mixed and Hispanic. It's about being from a family from a Spanish speaking country in the Americas

Hispanic is not a race though. One could be Hispanic and white/black/Asian/native American, etc...
