Really, the whole divided by race is still a big issue and will be for at least a while I think as alliances will more likely to be drawn in racial sands. I wish that they would've kept the 4 tribes longer. There was no reason to dissolve them this fast. Oh well, I'll still watch every episode :-).

The spaniards would get their asses handed to them, and then when they did merge, be picked off faster, because there is less of them than the other races.

Assuming they stuck together in racial aspects after merging.

There was a Spaniard tribe? Why would they make a tribe of people all descended from one country, but not for the others?

You're right, each tribe wasn't from one country each. I looked it up, there was an Irish tribe, an Angolan tribe, and a Laotian tribe. :p

My guess is neither you nor Typhoid know many Mexicans and/or latinos. There is a rather large difference between 'Spaniard' and even 'Hispanic'.

You clearly knew what I meant.
Pretty sure you're just looking to stir **** up, or one of your own really lame personal victory.

And there isnt a lot of difference between the terms of hispanic/latino, and spaniard.

Latino/hispanic: Someone who speaks spanish, commonly used for Latin America.
Spaniard: One who lives in, or decended from Spain.

I wouldn't expect Canadians to be experts on the subject, therefore the mistake is perfectly understandable.

You've probably only met a handful of hispanics, anyway. I wouldn't hold the little oops against you.

Yes I need a lame personal victory every once in awhile, I'm petty what can I say. :p

No there is a rather large difference, but it wouldn't seem so from your definitions, which, while pretty close, are still way off. For one, latino does no mean someone who speaks Spanish. And for two, Spaniard means exactly a native or inhabitant of Spain, not descended from. I'm anal or try to be anal about words, I like them to have exact meanings and for people to use them correctly.

And the reason I guessed that you don't have many latino friends because they would have jumped on you before a lot harder than I did for calling them Spaniards. It's like the Canadians I know who get mad when they're referred to as Americans abroad.

I can see you're much less anal than me, because you obviously didn't look at the dicionary.com definitions.
