Why do people fail to realize that Manu Ginobili is Italian, not Argentinan?

My ancestors are from West africa. Yet...I am an american. Just how it is.

[Beastmode88]

Yes, he was born in Argentina, but his parents, and ancestors are all from Italy. His last name is also italian.

For example, Steve Nash was born in Africa, so why don't people call him Black?

How does being where you're from relate to your skin color you dumbass. (Charlize Theron was born in South Africa as well)

Argentina is no different than America or Canada. It's mainly populated by Europeans. Manu being Argentinian is no different than Kevin Love being American.

Who cares...

Spain fails so hard. The British Empire is responsible for countries like America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.....

What does Spain have to show for itself? Shitty South American countries, and not even the one decent one which Portugal can claim. Even to this day a small section of Spain is a British colony.

You suck Spain. Kill yourself.

Wikipedia confirms this

-

who were you thinking lives in Argentina? It's like 85% Euro.... and big part of that is Italian.
It was mostly empty pampas until Europeans moved there starting around 1860s - 1930s, aiming to get clear away from socialism. It was the best South American country until... socialism started destroying it.... Manu's only one of the fine athletes from that area of the world, would like to see more from all over S.America.

I always tell this to my Hispanic friends, I'm Mexican with Spanish ancestors on both sides. Too many Latin Americans want to claim Spanish blood, I guess because they want to get away from the 'lowly' Amerindian blood. Fvck that, I have Amerindian blood too, being Spanish ain't shit, every country they colonized is a developing country, the British have the US, Canada, Austrailia to name a few. Even the Asian country the Spaniards colonized, the Philipines, isn't anything to brag about.

Of course though, Spaniards didn't kill off all the natives the way the Brits did

Look at the Philippines and compare that to what The British were able to do with Hong Kong. Even what Portugal did with Macau. Spain is a joke.

Hispanic = Spanish
