I agree with preciousjeni...that is a great answer audaz and it definately makes since.
In reguards to the race vs. culture issue. I agree with preciousjeni again. There must be something that binds the Latino culture together because there are thriving Latino/a based organizations.
The point is that of any racial group, as we classify it here in America, is composed of people from different cultures. It seems that Americans have a reverse definition of race than other countries do. If you go to other countries...you're American, because that's where you're from and that's your "culture". French people come here and they are considered caucasian because of their race. See the difference?
Example, look at the common mistake that all black people share the same "culture." There are people considered black who are British, Canadian, American, African, Dominican, Caribbean, and the list goes on. These people would not necessarly share the same culture and/or language. However, in American, if you look black, you're considered black. Period. Nobody cares if YOU consider yourself something else.
