Since I grew up in El Salvador, your identity is tied to those roots and there the terms Latina or Hispanic don’ mean much.
BTW, I will disagree with your man as well. I can just picture us all around the table getting loud about this one! ;)

I was born in Californa and moved to Texas, and would never feel right calling myself a Texan, even though I’ve been here over 12 years. Texifornian, sure (grin)…but I still consider myself more of a California girl.
