Latinos and 500 Years of Semantic Erratum

We get in our tussles, we fight over

Meaning. Like my friend and I we can’t

agree. He says I should never refer

to us as Latinos, and I agree yet

I still do it because that’s what history

has decided makes the most sense. Again,

I know it’s a misnomer, a tragic

erratum that’s never been corrected.

So what do we do defy 500

years of Semantic pollution. Framers

of the First Latino Constitution

have yet to be named, approved, and Conferred.

I have decided to remain neutral

Which is all I can do from the Shadows.
