Guanabee Commenter Shout-Out: ANGRY HISPANIC EDITION & ALMA AWARD LIVEBLOG

What the hell are you people?

Hey, so speaking of the ALMA Awards, one of our earlier posts about the event got at least one commenter extremely riled up this week. Since we’re in the business of addressing the concerns of our always intelligent, articulate, level-headed commenters, we thought we’d feature this comment. What the fuck is Cameron Diaz anyway, people? Is she Cuban? American? North American? Latina? A demon? The world may never know…

Re: Are The ALMA Awards Racist?

WHY DONT YOU GIVE ONE TO CAMERON DIAZ?. IS SHE “LATINA” OR IS SHE “NORTH-AMERICAN”. WHAT IS BEING LATIN?…….

NORTH-AMERICANS OF SOUTH-AMERICAN ORIGIN (WHITE, BLACK, AMERINDIAN OR MIXED) ARE AS IGNORANT AS THE STUPID AVERAGE (NORTH-)AMERICAN CITIZEN. THERE IS NOT SUCH A THING AS THE LATINO WORLD. THAT TERM WAS GIVEN BY NAPOLEON TO SOUTH-AMERICAN COUNTRIES WHO SPOKE EUROPEAN LANGUAGES WHO CAME FROM LATIN (CASTILIAN/SPANISH, FRENCH AND PORTUGUESE).

ANYWAY MOST (NORTH)-AMERICANS BELIEVE THAT COLON WAS A KIND OF AZTEC PRINCE AND THAT LATIN IS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF SOUTHAMERICA. IN EUROPE WE’RE FED UP WITH YOUR STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE.

P.D: IN SPAIN WE’RE FED UP ALSO OF ANTONIO BANDERAS, JAVIER BARDEM AND PENELOPE CRUZ. IF THEY FEEL LATIN, THEY SHOULD PERMANENTELY CROSS THE OCEAN, REQUEST MEXICAN NATIONALITY OR ANY OTHER AND NOT COME BACK TO EUROPE ANYMORE.

We do like to think of our colon as an Aztec prince, actually. It tends to twist itself into a knot when people attempt to prove an individual or group is / are ignorant by TYPING ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS. But you, shouty Spaniard, bring up a valid questions: What does it mean to be Latino?

Perhaps we will learn tonight when we liveblog the ALMA Awards tonight at 8 pm EST. Do join us, Guanababies. LEST ZAPATERO CRAWLS OUT FROM YOUR TV AND CALL YOU AN HIJO DE PUTA!
