As do I. You're not understanding the context I'm referring to.
I'll give you an example. My son had a drop dead gorgeous girlfriend who was a registered "dreamer" who was brought here by her parents illegally when she was 3. I asked her how she felt about Trump running and what her and her friends/family were doing politically, if anything.
The conversation then moved towards Mexicans easily crossing the border and she advised me she was Venezuelan and I corrected myself to say "Hispanics crossing the border" and she said they're actually referred to as Latinos nowdays and she's a Latina. So I apologized again lol It was akward but not negative or mean spirited.
