Still Mad About CD Prices<p>Annoyance: Someone on zucksite posted a meme saying that all Hispanic/Latino people in the Americas and elsewhere should stop using the terms "Hispanic" and "Latino" and use <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Native" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Native</span></a> or <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NativeAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeAmerican</span></a> instead.</p><p>I'm 100% down with this if Hispanic/Latino people make it clear that's what they want (or even if one person does). People's identities are almost totally up to them, IMO; I'll almost certainly call you what you want to be called. It's a pretty complex issue, though -- e.g., Mexico I think had the highest rate of mestizaje in the century or so after the conquests began, and it varies widely among other regions/nations; there have been a large number of Native pride and Native identity movements in the past 500 years throughout the Americas, and many Mexicans, at least, identify more strongly with their "European soul" (referencing Octavio Paz, there). Racism in Mexico is often tied to Native identity, language, and appearance, as well. This is not an issue I have a stake in except in wanting to support anyone who does. I'll look to the people with those identities and respect them.</p><p>Separate issue about the meme itself: It starts out saying "Hispanic means From <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Spain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spain</span></a>, so..."</p><p>I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean that. The usage and definition I've seen of Hispanic is more like "having significant heritage connected to the Spanish (and Portuguese) conquests in the Americas." I've met one or two Spanish people who did not identify as Hispanic, for example (and others who did).</p><p>If the descendants of the conquests in the Americas choose to stop identifying as <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Hispanic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hispanic</span></a> or <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Latino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Latino</span></a>, great. I'll support that 100%. However, I get annoyed when people try to push a narrative using a false premise.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/espa%C3%B1ol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>español</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/espa%C3%B1a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>españa</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/conquista" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conquista</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/identity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>identity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/identidad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>identidad</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CheckYourSources" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CheckYourSources</span></a></p>

Mix Mistress Alice💄<p>"Identity is, for me, a point of departure for alliances, which need to include all kinds of people, from trans to working people to those taxi drivers that J. K. Rowling is worried about. Identity is a great start for making connections and becoming part of larger communities. But you can’t have a politics of identity that is only about identity.

Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"Real leaders aren't afraid of sharing truth bombs" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>The world is in the midst of a massive shift in geopolitical alignments and global alliances.</p><p>While we all watch - often helplessly - as the future unravels at a furious pace, we see not just the big trends, but the minor acts in a play that should never be underway. Like it or not, amid the big trends, various groups and individuals suddenly often find themselves having to take a stand, plant a flag in the ground, and state their views.<br>Which brings us to the world of sports.</p><p>Like it or not, various sports figures and leaders are suddenly in the new and challenging position of having to take a stance. This is leading to new and challenging situations - sports has found itself caught up not only in the culture wars but playing a role in global politics. This reality needs to be carefully managed - because anyone can now find themselves in a moment in which their reality unravels in an instant. That being the case, a very good friend of mine sees this disruptive reality as an opportunity, now getting more involved in the world of sports crisis communication management. I see a wonderfully bright future for him - he works in the field of PR - because there is going to be an acceleration of communication issues to deal with involving rapidly emerging sports crises!</p><p>This brings me to Jesse Marsch, an American professional soccer coach, who is now the Head Coach of the Canada men's national soccer team - and now Canada's newest national hero. </p><p>Contrast his new realituy to that of Wayne Gretzky, once Canada's favorite hockey player and a nation icon, deeply respected and admired.
