Disney's obsession with doe-eyed, button nosed female animated characters

Ha ha. I just watched the whole season. That is a weird show!

Well, in the U.S.

I’m in the US!

@ChuckV

“Latina” refers to a woman or girl with strong connections to “Latin America.”

A colonial name for what others might refer to as Meso-America, or South America. There is nowhere near as much Spanish influence there as some might assume, incidentally.

@ChuckV

(Or, according to some standards, one can have connections to Spain or Portugal instead of the Americas, and still qualify.) The French and the Italians (don’t forget Romania!) are Latin peoples, but would not be classified as “Latinas” or “Latinos” according to current usage in the US.

Depends who you ask. If that would be the case, then “Hispanic” would mean what they intend, but “Latin” would not. When one term could apply to you, but the other not, it becomes relevant. Sort-of.

At least one of whom was a Hispanic maid.

(Is 5.2 partners per year really that much? Seems well below average for an unmarried man in his 30s in NYC. Maybe a little above average for a squat balding neurotic unemployed living-with-his-parents George Costanza type, but hardly fantastical.)

Dreamworks is way worse in that regard:

According to a 1994 study only about 25% of heterosexual American males had 20 or more sexual partners, so 47 over 9 years definitely seems on the high side especially since he was in a monogamous relationship for a good chunk of that time. And again, one of George Costanza’s defining character attributes was that he was supposedly some kind of undatable loser.
