Brazilians speak Portuguese not Spanish thay are not (Hispanos)

True, Portuguese is a different language than Spanish, both sharing similar roots. But then again, Brazilian Portuguese is markedly different from that of Portugal. I have known and met many Brazilians. They are on the whole some of the warmest and happiest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. While they may or may not be considered Latinos, they are definitely NOT Hispanos, as by definition Hispanos speak Spanish as their native language. While an interesting subject of intellectual discussion, I'm afraid that such topics have a propensity for being more devisive than constructive. Ultimately, we're all just people of different nationalities and various cultures and are better served by working toward personal and collective improvement than by exploring, outlining, and gravitating to our cultural differences.

I somewhat agree, Brazilians are not "hispanos" per say. However, the language is of latin origin. Not to mention that the country is in South America aka Latin America. This is actually somewhat of a touchy subject considering you are defining a culture by the language spoken in a country. I think your analysis would have to go more in depth prior to making such generalizations. I do feel many people mistake Brazilians for speaking Spanish rather than Portugese but I wouldn't begin to classify whether they are "hispanos" or not. Although that may be subject to opinion or open for debate. However, I would check my spelling prior to posting such a post.
