Oh wow, interesting! I had no idea she was of Spanish descent, I wonder where in Spain her grandfather's family was from? And I wonder if his family came over because of the Spanish Civil War in in the 1930s, or just the hard times before then?
Although I feel like she's more Hispanic than Latina, since as I understand it the Latina identity is more about the Americas and the melding of Spanish and indigenous culture, not just about Spanish culture? O_o I've heard before that some Latinos dislike being called Hispanic because of the connotations with Spain which they do not necessarily identify much with....cultural identity is such a complex subject!
