There's no way this will end up in Fight Club or lead to a banning of some sort. Nope, not at all.
Sup
Republica Dominicana Yupi Yupi. Naci en la Capital pero el poco tiempo k pase en mi patria (vinimos a los EU cuando tenia 4 años) la pase en La Joya, Santiago.
Yo me naci aqui en el EU en Nueva Jersey. Pero siempre visito la isla cuando puedo. El calor me mata. No se como lo gordo duran pa ya.
My written Spanish is fucked.
So's your mom, by big black dicks, on the regular. Fucking mexicans.
lol I always thought you were mexican cause everybody says so hahaha. What a bunch of dickheads.
We can't be the only ones.
We aren't. I know of two others keeping quiet. And TNL is racist. I'm not even shocked at this point.
Isn't it racist making a thread only for one specific race?
Boricua aquí de pura sepa!
It's a celebration of our heritage where others are welcomed to participate. Don't be a knob since you know exactly what this thread is about.
I know. I was just asking a question jeez.
One summer my dad made me rake all the leaves in the yard, so I can empathize with you Razor.
I had no idea Melf. Cool.
The Caribbean has has the best Spanish...and food of Latin America.
I had to do a dish shift the other week when Juan called out. That makes me an honorary Mexican, right?

And food. Good food. Horchata ftw. There's this chain grocery store that has a special "mexican version" that (SURPRISE) caters to mexicans. It also has all kinds of badass stuff you can't find anywhere else that white people are welcome. It's like an speciality mexican shop but clean and well stocked with good service.
I put my penis in putas Mexicanas y como el tacos y agarraderas!
does that count?
In all seriousness I've said before, and I stand by it, that I wouldn't move from California because I couldn't live without good Mexican food for the rest of my life.
Food is srs bsns.
Also mi abuella is the only wetta on the calle.
That tan is horrid.
Yo soy Peruano! Pero no habia visto este uh, thread?
I can't stand Latin music or much of the culture in general. Every family event was like torture. Food is great, though.
I'm of Hispanic decent (Mother's side of the family is Cuban and Spaniard), but I'd never guess it if I didn't know my own family history.
I am the same with family events. I'm Hispanic enough that you'd know it but it's painful to have to always be immersed in the culture all the time. At least for me since I come from a city that has almost every culture imaginable. But I'm still proud of where I come from.
I live in the only white house in the barrio, is that worth something?
I like living in a predominantly Mexican and Central American area. Good food, good music (well... sometimes), good neighbors.Tejano music can be pretty great sometimes. Salsa too. Mexican pop, dance, reggaton, etc is pretty bad, but I like those Oaxacan polka-sounding bands.Quote:

I love most latin food. I've had Guatemalan, Uruguayan, Mexican (obviously), Brazilian and Ecuadorian food. It's always been great.Quote:

You need to hear traditional Puerto Rican music, especially around the holidays. It's very festive and lively. Also, the Puerto Rican danza is a great classical style of music that's awesome to hear live. I love it because the baritone horn has a prominent part, so I was always center stage when we played them in band.Quote:

I'm friends with a lot of Mexican hipsters (which seems like the strangest combination to me, but it works) and one of my favorite girls at work is Puerto Rican.
I've got Hispanic cousins and nephews too.

He's right. El Paso food is different from Dallas which is different fro San Antonio. El Paso is actually closer to LA Mexican since those people often migrate back and forth.
I'm really loving the chance to get some great Mexican food now that I'm here in LA, but I always feel so stupid going into any of the decent places. Back home, "going out for Mexican" was going to Taco Bell (or other chain places) for most people, and the one slightly more authentic place I used to visit at least gave us noobs pretty pictures and item numbers for ease of ordering. I mean, I know what the basics are and everything, but when you get to the subtle differences that make different items unique, I get totally lost.
What I really need to do is find somebody who knows some good local places, and have them take me there so they can give me suggestions on what to try.
(Even broader, though, the overall amount of local places when it comes to food is one of the great things about living out here.)
Latin dudes are hot, I love the music, and the food is good. this thread works for me.
Take a menu home. Look shit up on the internet. Get educated.
This is exactly the kind of thread I'd expect from a latino.
Sorry Frog. None of the Mexican I've had on the east coast compares to LA.
All of a sudden this is What are you eating?: Spanish Spice edition.
I've never been to Dominican Republic but my mother has. I don't know what to do there honestly. And with Haiti next door I'm not sure how I'd feel about it.
The best Mexican food I have had in USA was in San Diego.
Aye pendejos, La Raza is about more than tacos y burritos!

A TNL lawnscaping thread?
How nice.
I'm glad I made this thread.
I almost had chicken soft tacos for lunch. I got a club sandwich instead.
What you haven't heard, Frog is an expert anthropologist on this. He knows all about it, and nobody else knows anything.Quote:

Lol I know what you mean. There's really nothing to do besides go to the resorts and all the touristy shit. Unless you like Dominican Hip-Hop, in that case it shouldn't be hard to find a show from some of the local artists.Quote:

I really dislike the way Cubans generally speak Spanish. It's like they're shitting out of their mouths.
All bass.

Yeah, Cuban Spanish is very fast. I guess that's why it's one of the harder dialects (if not the hardest dialect) of Spanish to understand.Quote:

Go. Put some sour cream and lime on those tacos and it should cure your belly aches.
follow it up with a glass of milk.
Other Spanish speaking people always tell me Dominican Spanish is hard for them to understand. We use alot of slang.
White people don't understand this shit.
Lol that's why i love it. :lol:
Or care.Quote:

I knew you filthy mexicans didn't wash your hands.
It's not about being fast, it's about terrible pronunciation and basically eating the last half of the words they say. Actually Spanish from Spain sounds like a velvet dick in your ear; Cuban Spanish sounds like dry rape.Quote:

Incidentally, since moving into this neighborhood, I have discovered that goat is delicious.
Don't tread on the Latin Kings.
I wish I could hear the difference in Spanish accents.
I'm mostly Irish and English but I've made friends with some of our Mexican dishwashers (plus the prep cooks from Ecuador and Puerto Rico). I won't bother to type out my poor Espanol though. Maybe in a year or two I'll be fluent enough in Spanish to hold a discussion outside of the kitchen.
One of my roommates pushed a Latin King in our kiddie pool on the front yard. He was actually cool about it, laughed it off, took off his shirt, wrung it out, and walked off while his boys were laughing at him.Quote:

It's why I don't live in a neighborhood filled with gangs anymore. Fuck that noise. I stay baller to keep from getting shot.
Y que con estos aqui hablando de ganga y todo eso. Tenimos HRD NGRS aqui.
By the by, explain to me what a fucking Baina is.
baina, vaina?
I hear that a lot, too! It's slang, fits in a lot like saying "shit." I've heard it used like the word shit in "Look at that shit/ Mira a esa baina" or like talking about something that will be a hassle to do, like "que baina, llevarte al aeropuerto!"
I fucking hate spics
I know what the word is but it doesn't have an exact meaning.
Why would you need to wash your hands to pour concrete?Quote:

Two words will become one when it's spoken and it's hard to understand when it's coming out at 100mph. That said, it's gramatically correct to do so in certain cases when the last letter of the first word sounds similar to the next word or the next word begins with a vowel. For example, instead of saying "me voy a el aeropuerto", you're supposed to say, "me voy al areopuerto".
Also, "Real" Spanish (which I believe is from the southern andalucia region of Spain) sounds kinda gay (imo) with all the lisp sounds given to the Z's and S's in the alphabet. Instead of pronouncing the words phonetically, they have that "th" sound. Bugs the hell out of me, but whatever, there are what - 20 Spanish-speaking countries in the world, each with its own dialect? It is what it is.
I hate speaking to Spaniards because of the lisp.
I lived in Miami for 25 years and I'm fluent in Spanish so I've had a lot of experience hearing different dialects. It has nothing to do with connecting vowel sounds. I'll try to find a sound byte somewhere, but if you don't understand Spanish I guess there's no point in trying to explain. Obviously I don't mean to enforce a stereotype since I personally do know many Cuban people who I don't want to kill when they open their mouths, but I made the mistake of going to the Calle Ocho celebration once and I came very close to ending it all. Let's just say that the vast majority of the Cuban population in Miami has a very loud and abrasive way of speaking, and while I am sure that they are very nice people once you get to know them, as a first impression it's not so great.
And yeah, the lispy z is a bit much, I agree.
edit: hey, wikipedia had a nice bit on what I mean!
It all depends on where you grew up and what you're used to hearing, I suppose!Quote:
One of the most prominent features of Cuban Spanish is the debuccalization of /s/ in the syllable coda. This trait is shared with many other Caribbean varieties of Spanish,[1] as well as those further away.
Take for example, the following sentence:
Esos perros no tienen dueños
[ˈesoh ˈperoh no ˈtjenen ˈdweɲoh]
('Those dogs do not have owners')
Also, because /s/ may also be deleted in the syllable coda and because this feature has variable realizations, any or all instances of [h] in the above example may be dropped, potentially rendering [ˈeso ˈpero no ˈtjenen ˈdweɲo].
Another instance of lenition, in Cuban Spanish is the deletion of final[2] intervocalic /d/. With intervocalic deletion (e.g. condado [konˈda.o] 'county')
THESE DOGS HAVE NO OWNERS.
LOL, it's true. We are loud as shit. My gf and I are going to Cali for Christmas and she's going to meet the extended Cuban family for the first time. I've already warned her that although it'll be loud, no one's arguing. That's just the way we talk (although you could say the same about Greeks and Italians).Quote:
