Interesting dynamic observed.

I had two co-workers years ago (in the 70's), both women, one was from Puerto Rico and the other was from Brazil. They would both get so upset when someone would call them Mexicans. To them it was such an insult. I didn't understand why, but just listening to them chastise someone who made that mistake taught me how much difference there was and how many Hispanics don't want to be considered the same as every other Hispanic. That was 40 years ago!!!
