The crazy thing is that she is actually a natural blonde, as are many of the leading actresses in telenovelas in Latin America. But when she first came to Hollywood, casting agents and other people in the industry told American audiences would not be able to wrap their head around the concept of a Latina who didn’t have dark hair. So she started dyeing it.
It's bc most us citizens don't realize there's a diff between Mexican and Spanish. But Mexico and other countries colonized by Spain became melting pots, so it creates a huge variety as well. Tv and media dumbs things down to a steretype.
I find her loud and vulgar. Not just in this clip. And I saw her giving a tour of her house in a YT video and the lack of humility reinforced that opinion. Does anyone else feel that way?
That's part of her character and tv personality in general. Spanish people tend to be outgoing as part of their culture. In interviews where she's just her real self she speaks at a normal volume and cadence and is quite intelligent. She's gotten typecast as the "sexy funny foreign lady" so she often plays that up bc never know when a producer might be watching and decide to cast you for a role.
He was in a bar in Pittsburgh when he saw on the news he was released by the Steelers. That's how he found out he was out of the NFL. The other bar patrons then started buying him drinks...
No he already knew, was going to a buddies place got dropped off there to finish walking but stopped for a beer cause he was down from being cut, then it came on the news and they got him blind drunk
I would love for my significant other to "sing" to me while presenting food and asking if I want to watch NASCAR, I don't care if it's in a false accent.
Fuck the whole Al Bundy franchise. You want a ground zero for American society being given permission to act like assholes to one another"because they're family"? Look no further.
I got invited to a "white trash" party a while back and some woman wore that outfit. I almost got punched in the face by her husband for staring at her. It was incredibly hot.
The reason this confuses so many people is the USA has the name of our continent in our name. Without googling it I think the only other country that has done that is South Africa. So when people are calling the USA "America" and "Americans" they're shortening the name of our country not calling us by the name of our continent.
But it is not part of America. A citizen of the Americas would be Americian, not American, as Bahamas to Bahamian. Native English speakers follow the seven continent model, so there isn't a place called "America" excepting the United States of America in the English language.
Please note in Spanish and most Romance language, the Americas is "América", which is a false friend to the English "America" (they do not refer to the same place, as the Romance follow the six content model).
There isn't a place called "America", there are two of them. Since you're hung up on the etymology, America comes from the explorer Amerigo Vespucci, who only ever traveled around SOUTH America
Also, you're comparing apples and oranges. Vocabulary is constantly changing in all languages. To compare how one language has adapted a word to another language changing the same word is like arguing over the pronunciation of tomato
I'm Alaska Native, meaning my family was here before Americans came with their whitewashing. Well, I do have Irish and Norwegian ties because of their immigration.
By that logic so is everyone. If you were born in the country you reside in then you are not an immigrant by definition. That's not to say that your parents may or may not be immigrants. If one goes back enough generations every human has moved at some point geographically.
That's because "America", and it's demonym "American" only refer to the United States of America in English. The Spanish "America" translates to "the Americas", and the equivalent demonym in Spanish and other Romance Languages "Americano" is a false friend to the English language "American".
The English "American" translates to "estadosunidense", the Spanish "Americano" to something like "Americian", though an English speaker would say "a citizen of the Americas" since that's not commonly used.
Really ? What do they speak in Mexico ? How about central America ? How about the places in South America that don't speak Portuguese? I mean, Brazil sure ain't Portugal, so do they speak Brazilian ?
actual Latin American here. We understand that "America" is short for The United States of America (mouthful), and we translate it as "Estados Unidos", or rather colloquially and not meaning offense, "Gringolandia" (:
I find odd that it's a gringo if Im talking about a white person, but I'd never call an African American a gringo or a Native American a gringo. And I enjoy a little when they take offense with "gringolandia", you know as a little treat for the banana wars, the CIA backed dictatorships, Kissinger y su puta madre, etc. but I know the everyday people are not the culprits and there's beautiful human beings everywhere.
Yes, "gringo" is a white American in most people's minds. But only angry Marxists use it pejoratively - largely it's just a shorter alternative to "estadounidense" ("americano" still refers to the whole supercontinent unless we're talking football, jackets, etc).
You just reminded me how some day I want to work up a comedic bit about how you can't be a "real" Latin American if you don't speak a Latin-based language and how people from French Quebec are technically Latin Americans since French is Latin-based. Mind you I get that it's more a geographical reference, but playing to the side meanings is so tempting. Also want to poke at how Latin American and Hispanic aren't synonymous, but my plate's full with, "Sasquatch is the only 'native' American." :-/
Words take up meanings that don't always stick to their etymology, but we could define Latin America as "the American countries that used to be colonies of European powers that speak Romance languages". Maybe.
