Any culture that traces its roots to Spain or Portugal would be an Hispanic culture.

Portugal adopted the word Lusitanic for the same purposes.

La Raza translated by any Spanish to English dictionary I can find means The Race. To call this a mistranslation is just plain wrong if not an outright lie.

I thought Lusitanic meant: relating to the bottom of the sea, esp. just off the southern Irish coast.

Lusitania was a substate of the Roman state of Hispania.

Hispania, the name given by the Romans to the peninsula, was a strictly geographic label without specific cultural or political connotation. The peninsula had always been divided into geographic and ethno-cultural regions which differed greatly from each other. The most advanced of the ancient Hispanic communities was the kingdom of Tartessos in the south, covering roughly the modern region of western Andalusia. When first encountered by Greek traders, Tartesian society was centered in a number of fairly large cities and had a well developed economy based on agriculture, cattle-raising, fishing, commerce, and mining. Its technology was comparatively sophisticated, as evidenced in its mining, shipbuilding, irrigation, and ox drawn plows. The society was highly stratified, dominated by warrior and priestly castes and a small class of large landholders and wealthy merchants. Much of its land cultivation and cattle production was undertaken on the large estates owned by the upper classes, and the bulk of the population were peasants with few rights. In general, Tartessos was not greatly dissimilar to other relatively advanced urbanized societies of the Mediterranean. It was governed by a despotic monarchy legitimized by divine myth and thaumaturgy. The Tartessian state reached its maximum strength in the late seventh and any sixth centuries B.C., dominating the southern part of the peninsula and wielding influence in the affairs of the west Mediterranean. By the fifth century it had fallen under Carthaginian domination, whence it later passed to Roman rule.

I think you guys are missing the point..   they call themselves the race.

The nazis called themselves a race just like the AB does now..  they were not of any particular race but...

All the worst of racism is there.   What matters the detail?  "the race" thinks it is a race and it acts out it's racist ideals based on that.

It is a minor detail that they are wrong...  the root of the thing is that they think and act as if they were a race and they act on racist principles.

The effect is a race of racists.

Are hispanics an endangered species all of a sudden?

[Gunthr]

here is a slightly different take the issue:

"La Raza" (The Race) is a broad term which refers to those whose ancestry is indigenous to the area of Mexico (or "Aztlan"). MEChA members refer to themselves as "La Raza" or "Raza," but the term itself is used to indicate camaraderie among those in different organizations with the same objectives. There are a number of organizations who consider themselves to be La Raza.

Portugal adopted the word Lusitanic for the same purposes (in reference to the former Roman province of Lusitania, which was a part Hispania; ultimately, regarding to the Lusitanians, one of the first Indo-European tribes to settle Europe).

The Voice of Aztlan is hardly the voice of the Hispanic people.  That site is run by an extremist group that is actually communist in their political beliefs.  It is also listed on the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group.

ack-ack is right.

The west, called Lusitania by the Romans, is set apart from the northern and central areas by watersheds. The Lusitanians had a better-developed agrarian culture than was to be found elsewhere save in the sophisticated south and east. More prosperous than the groups of the center and north, their society was also more sharply divided by class. During antiquity, this western area was largely ignored by the outer world and by the advanced eastern and southern cultures. It had few metals, the principal commercial attraction of the peninsula.
