I don't think I ever talked about skin color, or at least the way I meant to use the word "white". (Because as far as I know, no one calls me "brown". *shrug* They refer to me by my ethnicity, which makes me believe that "white" refers to European culture, not necessarily skin color.)

Yeah, that's the cop-out we use to refer to anyone not from Anglo dominant regions of the Americas. In other words, anyone outside of US (I'm assuming everyone knows that Canada is really the 51st state :) ).

exactly what I was thinking

Pipi Davis and wigga pissed off manu

in the USA Manu is a spic and that's all there is to it.

This is actually correct. Most of the population of European descent in Argentina lives in Buenos Airea and Rosario. The rest of the country presents a majority of people with native descent. Also, althouth Argentians have a very strong Italian presence, it is not true most of them speak Italian or that they are considered Italian. Somehow somebody started making people believe this. Those who are of European descent speak Spanish as their mother tongue and only some of those who come from Italian families speak some Italian. Very few are actually fluent after 3 or 4 generations.

The Italian language's major influence in Buenos Aires has been the language itself adding a lot of words to the vernacular spanish and changing the way pronounciation and sounds work for their spoken spanish.

Uruguay is a country where most of their people descend from European ancestry with very little mestizo and black numbers. The native population in Uruguay was literally decimated in the 19th century with just a handful of persons claiming native ancestry.

Argentines, Cubans, Mexicans, the Spanish, Puerto Ricans, Peruvians, Nicaraguans, etc. could all be considered Latinos even if they look like Ken & Barbie. Any country or region that was/is part of the Spanish Crown could be considered Latin, even Portugal and Brazil. It's a liberal interpretation. btw the official language of Argentina is Spanish with a strong accent and a distinct Italian lilt.


edit: sorry I worded it wrong, made it sound like Brazil and Portugal were part of the Spanish Crown which is incorrect, however still a latino culture.

I don't understand the ppl here. If Manu goes to Nashville, tenesse or 99% of other country towns he will be considered a mexican and be offered a job as a fruit picker.

I don't think I've ever seen Manu jaw at anyone and I definitely saw him jaw at Ricky Davis and Davis has always been a bit of a punk and a loud mouth. Wonder what Davis said back to Manu that pissed him off even more?

that´s not correct.
Like the other poster said,most of the Argentinian Population is European,and not only In BS AS and Rosario,
Of course most of the italians are in BS AS and The province of Santa fe along with most of the spanish who came down after the civil war,but in the southern part of the country,there are the Germans(most of them ex nazis with their families)
them on the North East there is a big popation of nothern Europeans (people form Poland,Ucrania,Russia etc)
And Finally on the North West part of Arg,there is a big population of Muslims(from Sirya,Libanon,Irak,Iran ect) Spanish and some Italians as well.
that is about the 80 % of the population, them the other 20 % are mestizos,and Indians.
Most Mestizos in Argentina nowdays are millons of Imigrants from Bolivia,Peru and Paraguay who come to Argentina trying to get a better life.

BTW,I´m back.

I seem to remember Manu jawing with Nowitzki in the 06 semis.

as for White Chocolate, all he did was let everyone see how much of a punk he really is.. Kinda like Carmelo Anthony's cheap push in the back in last season's playoffs. You'd think NBA players would know by now not to aggrivate the Argentinian.

[QUOTE=santymrc]That was a chip shot.

We are not responsible for what our governors made 50 years ago. It was wrong, but still, we weren't the only ones -that doesn't mean we didn't do it-. I suggest you to dig inside the US advanced technology from that time, and you'll find out a lot of Nazi Germans have developed them.
Just don't load this all on us.[/QUOTE

Agreed. FYI - Saturn 5 rocket was developed by Werner Von Braun who the US smuggled out of Germany just ahead of the Soviets who wanted him, too. Both sides came in and took what thye wanted, materials and people, in order to advance their "causes". The US also employed many Nazis in civil postions since they were already familar with the infrastructure. The US are not saints but I don't think he was dumping solely on Argentina.

Regardless of what happened the old adage - Money talks and BS walks" - still holds true. Sometimes it changes to "Knowledge/Power talks and Ethics walk".

Words from a wiseman. :clap

Can't it be enough we are all given the gift of conscience mind and just leave it at that.

I just saw a close up video (on KSAT12 Sports) of the Manu and Williams "confrontation" and from what I could hear, it went something like this.

Manu: "Why did you push me?"
Williams: "Man, *beep* *beep* *beep*!"
I couldn't hear exactly what Manu said after this but, I know while Manu was walking away Williams yelled out..."Man, Shut the fuck up!"

What really pissed me off was after Williams pushed Manu the whole Heat bench started laughing.

I hope every single team we play pisses Manu off in their own way, from now on.

there's a video of it in woai but it doesn't show the push clearly. pretty good angle though for when jason and manu exchanged 'words.'

anyone has a video of the push?

Man, they just don't get it. Don't mess with Manu.
