Further proof that the words "Latino" and "Hispanic" are basically meaningless.
Civil war Admiral David Farragut is now "Latino". His father was born on the Spanish island of Minorca to Catalan (province in Spain) parents. His mother's family is described as Scottish. David Farragut was born in Campbell Station, Tennesee in 1801. Farragut had no Latin American ancestry. Putting it another way, Hernan Cortes, another deceased white man with European ancestry (born in Extramadura province, Spain in 1485), is also Latino - only more so. The same loons might say that the Aztec Empire stretched into Canada because Michigan sounds like Michoacan. I'd like to hear David Hayes-Bautista weasel around the fact that if David Farragut and Hernan Cortes are both Latinos they are both automatically heroes to the Tan Klan according to that line of reasoning.
