I'm not trying to add fuel to the fire or anything.
Aren't all Latin last names (Cental/South America, Puerto Rico, Cuba, etc) from Spanish origin? I'm pretty sure the Spanish consider themselves "Latino/Hispanic" or so they've tell me.
Absolutley, but for a diffrent reason.
Mexicans speak spanish because of the Spanish Conquistadores, but they are brown cause their "ancestors" were the Maya or other south american civilizations.
Spanish people are white, and most probably, but this is pure speculation on my part, Aguirre's grand parents, or even gran gran parents, or whatever, came in the States as immigrants.
Spanish, italians, portugees, consider tham self latinos no doubt, cause our culture (im italian) is of latin origin. This apply only to southeuropean, northern europeans hardly call themself latinos

I guess mexicans call themself latinos cause to this day spanish has become their first language but they are not of latin origin.
Now that this history of races bullshit is clear i guess we can go back to talk cars...

I would hope that the guys at LRM dont give too much importance to the color of anybody's skin.
The 1st cars to have lifts were all owned/built by white guys (Busonic-Buddah Buggy-Don Loster's 58 Ford....), the fact that lowridin grew so much into the "latino" comunity is a totally diffrent story.
