Hey, has anyone talked to Teppy lately? I realized that I haven't seen her on here in a while and knew she was having a rough time. If you're out there, hi Tep!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Congrats, Sparky!
Total tangent:

What exactly is meant by 'Hispanic', or 'Latino'? I mean, my understanding is that these words are interchangeable, and my assumption (and I sincerely apologise if this is coming across as offensive, because I'm not trying to be disingenuous here - this just isn't a UK thing) is that it's not so much an ethnic grouping as it is a cultural (linguistic/religious) grouping? Only that seems not to quite be the case. Could someone explain this to me? Does it boil down to biracial? I know that we've got a number of Buffistas of Hispanic extraction - can someone clarify this for me?

She was taking a bit of a break, but yeah, it's been a while since I've seen her here or lj.

Mostly lurking...
She responded to a post in my LJ this morning.
Fay, Hispanic is an ethnicity, not race. But, I'm going to leave more information up to people who actually know something about this.

You see, that still doesn't help me, vw. What do you mean by the words race and ethnicity?

Ann, that's a ferret.
All I can add, Fay, is that the term covers a lot of ground. "Hispanic" includes both Mexicans and Peruvians, but the cultures are very different. Kind of like how "European" includes both Spaniards and Finns.

I don't know much about this site, but it has a pretty clear explanation which seems to jibe with my limited understanding of the issue:
Edited because the board stole my jibe and transformed it into a jib. No way did I type "seems to jib"!

I've seen it used for pretty much anyone who comes to the US from Spanish-speaking countries (other than Spain), and their descendants, and for people from the Southwest whose families have been in the US for generations and are a mix of Native American and the Spanish settlers. (And people in the second group I know tend to get irritated when people ask them questions like "When did your family come to the US?" -- the answer is, "My family didn't come to the US, the US came to us.")

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Babyfras!!! Congratulations, Sparky (and DH).

We don't have any Dutch or, uh, Netherlandish Buffistas, do we? (I have some vague idea that Dutch is offensive to some people, but maybe I'm making that up.) I'll be at the Amsterdam airport for 8 hours on Christmas. Yay!
