Here's my fic about her.

I grew up in a Hispanic neighborhood, so the statues etc that Nancy had on her desk were very familiar to me culturally. It's a Catholic thing, yes, but statues of the virgin Mary especially are very typical of Hispanic cultures, as well as some other European countries like Portugal, Spain and Italy...

Anyway, I liked the idea of her being half-latina, so I went with it:)

I'm sorry. I was just lurking, reading what other people thought about the episode. I don't mean to intrude, but I feel like I need to let you know that Hispanic means "of or relating to the people, speech, or culture of Spain or of Spain and Portugal" besides the meaning that United States Citizen give to the word (Latinamerican descendants living in the USA).

"...very typical of Hispanic cultures, as well as some other European countries like Portugal, Spain and Italy..."
I was commenting about that. European countries like Portugal and Spain are Hispanic cultures.

I'm not trying to fight about preferred terms. In fact, I don't understand why people care too much about the background of a person. But that's a big issue for some people, so I try to stay away from the argument.

I just wanted to let you know that Spain and maybe Portugal are Hispanic cultures, besides the use people give the term for Latin American cultures.

I don't even remember who Nancy is.

Ah, ok. I see what you mean there, though I admit I was confused by your first post.

And I think we're playing with semantics here. I answered the comment very quickly during a break at work, so forgive me for being redundant in the sentence.

It's ok. It's just that I'm tired people assuming stuff about me. And asking me if I'm latina, or latino, or Hispanic, or white, or whatever. I just am. I don't care if they need to put me in a box inside their heads; I don't need to. So every time people talk about those terms it drives me crazy. And they were asking me all those questions the same day I read your comment, and it kind of triggered me. Seriously, I shouldn't even have commented. I was having a crazy day.
