Anyway, I was just wondering if all five of Mu Sigma Upsilon's founding mothers are from SPAIN, as stated in this post??? I have no idea, maybe they are, but I thought that MSU's founders were Latina...maybe a member of MSU can clarify for us  |
I would speculate the use of "Spanish" in the above quote was appropriate at the time/in the place that it was originally written. I'm from the northeast and prior to going to college (1999/200) "Spanish" was commonly used as a descriptor by both Latinos and non Latinos. In fact, I never really heard/used the term Latino until I entered college. The use of the term Latino is still debated in some areas with some people preferring the use of Latino over Hispanic and vice versa (I'm currently searching for an article I read on this topic a while ago). I know people who still describe themselves as Spanish. To each their own I guess.
