Somewhere Barkley is yelling GINOBILI.
what did he do to manu?
maybe he said you can't play white boy
WHo said white boys can't jump? :p
Actually it started in the 1st half. I think Ricky Davis caught Ginobili with an elbow. Then at the start of the 3rd Q, after a broken play, J-Will was going after the ball still and pushed Manu in the back. Then Manu started getting Williams grill and then later on Manu was exchanging words with Ricky Davis and then well, after that.........Manu was El Contusion.
somebody should flick manu's nose every game
I thought Manu was hispanic.
If you want to get technical, Argentinians are actually considered "Europeans" since Argentina is mostly made up of immigrants from Europe and Spain.I thought Manu was hispanic.
Not to spend too much time on that, just wanted to throw that in there.
In fact, Spain is inside Europe, so, with Europe was enough to say.
Oberto, Hermann, Nocioni, Manu, Delfino... I don't know if white mans can jump, but Argentinians for sure, hehe.
I dont care what color you are. Just bring the fire and keep dunkin on 7+ footers!
LMAO I think Timvp was joking, becaue the topic of Manu being white/european/hispanic has been covered in great detail with tempers flaring, so he just wanted to mention that as a gag. Hence the
Sorry, I missed out on that convo, timvp.
Note to rest of the class: Don't get upset so easily if someone gets white/euro/hispanic mixed up. All of our continents used to be connected anyway.
That is right. Argentineans are 87.7% White (of Italian or Spanish Descent). Only 5.2% of the population is Mestizo. The rest are Arabs (3.7%), and only 3.4% are the original natives (3.4%). As far as I can tell, Argentineans are majority Italian speakers, suggesting a majority of this group among the population.
This is very similar to Puerto Rico and Cuba where the entire population of natives (and most mixed mestizos) have been nearly wiped out by European inhabitation. By far, the majority (close to 75%) is European in ancestry, with the majority of the rest either mulatto or mestizo. Only a very, very small fraction is original native.
Compare this to Mexico, where the estimates of mestizo populations rises to as high as 75%. Pure white ancestry is only around 10% of the population.
I think it is very fair to consider Manu as being white. He speaks Italian and Spanish fluently. His name suggests that he has strong Italian ancestry. As such, I don't think he can be considered 'Hispanic' which refers to pertaining to the Iberian peninsula. I think the peoples who populated the former Spanish colonies are different. But considering that Argentina has such strong Italian influence, I think it's unusual to call populations from their Hispanic. Like you wont' call Brazilians Hispanic (who have majority Portuguese descent with an influential African ancestry and very few natives or mestizos). I think that's why people just refer to the populations as Latino to skip this whole mess.

Ethnography is fun.
Thank you MANU for taking the summer off !
What percentage is fleeing WW2 war criminals?
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.
Hispanic is not a color and it was sarcasm
I don't know who you are referring to, but I think I mentioned that Hispanic refers to pertaining to Spanish culture and ethnicity. Argentina has a more dominant Italian culture compared to Hispanic culture and ethnicity. And I think white, in the definition used, refers to European ancestry, not skin color. 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.)
Are you trying to stir something?I thought Manu was hispanic.
I thought it was Ricky Davis. Didn't they say Manu and Ricky Davis kept jawing at each other? They said Manu said something to Ricky after he made one of his many 3s. You don't really want to anger Manu any more than you have to, if you don't have to.....lol:
Didn't they learn anything from last POs in game 3 against PHX when Manu got his eyes scratched by Marion? Manu can take over the game.
sorry to dissapoint you but that would be Uruguay... you should visit northern argentina or start saying "Buenos Aires" instead...
