I don't know if this actually complicates things. Her statement was about Latinos, not Hispanics.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
To further complicate things, you also have Afro Latinos who aren’t Hispanic like is the case with blacks from Brazil. Brazil is considered a Latin American country because it’s well, located in Latin America, but they aren’t Hispanics as their primary language is Portuguese, not Spanish.
And that makes AOC spot on 100% correct.
In AOC's case, it's likely true.
That isn't what she said.
"Latinx", please. Do try to keep up, grandpa.
Are there Latinos who have African heritage? Yes or no.She said Latinos are black lol.
She's a latino, ergo she's claiming she is black.

Controlling language is a fascist tactic.
Are there Latinos who have African heritage? Yes or no.
You don't say? (did you not call out Latino vs Hispanic in this very thread?)
Call out?
I pointed out that AOC was referring to Latinos...not Hispanics. I didn't say anyone shouldn't use the word Hispanic.
Then those complaining did not understand the quote. Often people rely on headlines only. The headline needed to be put in context since many will misinterpret it.She wasn't quote minded. I provided the question that she was responding to.
That's the exact same quote I used in the OP.
Okay. And what is the point?

Okay, since you're being intentionally obtuse:Does having "African heritage" make someone black? Yes or no?
I think it's rather obvious it doesn't....as it would make Charlize Theron the most prominent black actress of the last 20 years.
No, that comment was more of an aside not really related to her specific point but just putting it out there that there are Latinos who aren’t Hispanic, as is the case with Brazilians, a Latin American country where they mostly don’t speak any Spanish.I don't know if this actually complicates things. Her statement was about Latinos, not Hispanics.
Actually she claimed that some Latinos are black. Your interpretation is incorrect.What's the correct context?
She did claim Latinos are black.
