| Hey girly....Somehow I think you misunderstood... I never categorized anyone! I have always been careful about that! I do not assume one's ethnicity! I'd ask... In the case of trying to get clarification of the translation, of the spanish speaking people I asked, they were in fact Mexican...I know not much about Mexicans....I met a girl from Guatemala-We then got into the conversation of her ethnicity and she explained to me that everyone who is not Mexican HATES to be referred to as Mexican! It obvious that people of the spanish/latin/hispanic/ whatever they are referred, has issues regarding who's better! This is really sad to me... But since I've been in Southern California, not long, as I am a South Beach Babe, MIAMI, it seems that the issue of the day is in fact about Mexicans.. That's why I made the reference about the majority of the population in CA were Mexican... I was not categorizing anyone! I was speaking specifically! Being from the East Coast, the issue of the day is not about Mexicans, Mexico, the boarder and all these issues that seems to be a daily conversation around here! But nevertheless, the word Oni is Yoruba anyway! African! So I am glad for the clarification for myself, and once again, my most sincere apologies for the mix-up....
P.S. And as far as always being assumed "Mexican", I'm sure it's because you live in California! Trust me, step outside of California and I bet you a million dollars you won't hear that! Noone is remotely thinking about Mexicans outside of the states that border Mexico! And I am not saying this in an offensive way! But it's true! |
