What am I even looking at here? Are these earthworms? Do people have problems with big booty Latinas?

There was a stupid trend of girlfriends and wives asking their boyfriends and husbands "Would you still love me if I was a worm?". Anyone that did not answer exactly "Of course not, you wouldn't be capable of worrying if I loved you if you were a worm." Was found out to be stupid.

Ok, that makes more sense. I’ve gotten the “would you still love me if I was fat or disfigured” before, but never an earthworm.

For me it totally makes sense because my boyfriend always says he looks like a worm without his hair. And now in his fourties he's really scared of loosing his hair. And I always tell him I will love him even when he looks like a worm. Perfect for the situation but might not apply to everyone.

It's also a great excuse just to shave off all your hair and realize it doesn't look nearly as bad as you thought it was going to. Plus it's SO much easier to take care of, and you save a ton of $ on haircuts.

Latina is fine if you mean anyone from Latin America, including Brazilians, but not the Spanish.

Hispanic is anyone who speaks Spanish as a first language, including the Spanish, but not Brazilians.

I wonder why 'Latina' wouldn't include other countries with Latin-based languages. Why not Spain Latina? Portugal Latina? France, Italy. Romania Latina. Also, the small countries in South America that don't speak Spanish or Portuguese (French-Guiana? Maybe others).

I guess Latina/o/e means Latin-American (no, not that type of 'American')

Yes, Latin America is a very specific region where Latina/o originated. Because it was colonized by Spaniards, it still retains some of its original culture and likes to maintain a separate identity than general "Latin based language".

I find it interesting that US folks seem sometimes to forget Brazil as Latin American. They'd first bring up Rosalía as Latin Music than Anitta, clearly confusing Latin American with Hispanic

Most US citizens probably couldn't point to Brazil on a map, have no idea that they speak Portuguese, couldn't name a single Brazilian or Latin artist, and couldn't tell you the difference between Latino/Latina and Hispanic.

You put a Brazilian next to a Venezuelan and they're more likely to be described as 'a couple of Mexicans' than a Hispanic or Latin American.

The language divide explains that neatly. I don't consider Portuguese as Hispanic, personally.

I've thought this too, but I think it's ultimately a geographical description based on a misnomer. It's kinda wild.
