In honor of hispanic heritage month I thought I'd write alittle something about what being hispanic means to me and my family,which are very different things.In my family there's a critera to being hispanic,first you need to SPEAK spanish,second you need to love regatone and hip hop,and last but not least you have to wear very very tight clothes and if you dont follow the criteria you're "white".I don't speak spanish on a daily basis,I'm not a big fan of regatone and I dont wear very tight clothing(I like to think of it as form fitting).Does this make me less hispanic,I don't think so,I'm very proud of being American,Puerto Rican and a native New Yorker.I think what makes me hispanic is my love for my country and family and my need to tell everyone who askes if I'm hispanic "YO SOY BORICUA,if you didn't know." You are whoever you say you are.
