Yeah there is absolutely nothing racist about the word Hispanic. For god sakes the word is used on government forms in the USA. It's a word that goes all the way back to the Roman empire... Geez, who the heck is saying that is racist???

Good grief...Hispanics prefer to be called "Hispanic" as a rule. Sheesh. I am working with the US census and its one of the ethnic choices people select to identify their ethnic background.

Methinks some are straining hard to find something to be angry about as an excuse to act up.

I appreciate the conciliatory nature of the post by the topic starter. Kudos.

"Hispanic" is not a racial slur and I understood immediately that it referred the sleeper ship (as we have no "Hispanics" but we do have a "Puerto Rico"). My gosh, we have someone on here with "Mexican Power" in their name and "Hispanic" offends? Please: Hispanic ... and it's strictly a matter of preference in a several centuries in the future game if they want "H" to stand for Hispania or Hispanic. No big deal either way.
