This is why I said you don't read. No where did I state that "Spanish" was the only descriptor used for Latinos in the North East. What I did say, for the millionth time, is that I had never heard it used until college. It does not surprise me that the HAC was titled the HAC because the use of the term "Spanish" was more colloquial/everyday vs. formal (naming of institutions, university departments, etc.) "Accepted" does not mean universal.

I heard what you said and did not disagree with you on most points. What I did disagree with was you attempting to negate my personal experiences, and your use of "misinformed latinos" and the assertion that Latino is better therefore everyone who falls under the category should use it.

Just because I disagree with you, and am defending my point, does not mean I'm turning my nose up at you. If you got anything besides disagreement that is because you read too much into it. The RIF statement was because you continue to argue without reading what I wrote (as it is) and instead read what you thought I was saying.
