Is Spanish a white man's language?

[Kinky]

Well if you allow me to be more toilet level philosophical, I guess Spanish is part of Romance language which is derived from Vulgar Latin which is from Latin which comes from Greek which comes from Phoenician which is Middle-Eastern, so maybe Spanish is middle-eastern using this logic? I know, I'm digging deep.

Still considering if we just go for what modern people will understand as early established Spanish, like most languages they are a mix of various other influences. One big influence in Spanish is Arabic which is understandable as it was a scientific language at the time Spanish was developing and Caliphate had a big presence at Iberian peninsula, so at very least if you just attribute origin of a language to determine it's "color", I guess you need to add Arabic to the mix.

Dunno exactly how formal Spanish is taken care. With French, there is an institute that takes care of maintaining the uniformity of the language. I think we don't see the same with Spanish. At least with Portuguese (which I know), it seems separated and therefore, you see more of a drift between Portugal and Brazil even at formal level (maybe they have a new institute for that, but I don't think it existed when I learnt it).

In this case, wouldn't mean that language is beyond any limit of "color" at this point even if we accept the concept of the color of people for its origin? Overtime language will drift more and more if no formal entity tries to keep it together like French.

English has Greek words by we don’t consider it a middle eastern language so therefore Spanish doesn’t have to be considered a middle eastern language or Arabic language.

Just because a language changes over time does not mean it cannot have a history and an origin. If we look at where European Spanish formed as the Spanish we mostly know today, it could be argued that it originated from whites

in the end, all languages come from Middle East since that is considered to be the first civilization (or if you dig deeper, cavemen in Pangaea)

Well in Spanish case, it seems to have 5% to 10% Arabic. I'd not call it a small contribution. It's big enough number to be considered. I mean people with 1/16 or even 1/64 of a certain ancestry part of their heritage, so dunno why ignore Arabic from the conversation. I certain wouldn't ignore the other contributions from other people at the time and of today. Every peoples contribute to it. Maybe call it "mostly" European would be a better way than simply call it "white"?

Language isn't that monolithic and always changing/evolving. In the Spanish case is even more muddle if you learn the history behind it. You can't ignore the factor of time in history and origin this willy willy and call it a day.

Well if you ignore those factors, I mean there is nothing to discuss in the end and what was the point of it? Just a cheap troll? In this case, you could explain your trolling better. I find it so dumbfound lazy that it's fascinating.

As a person who speaks mainly Spanish, I can say yes and no. Spanish or Castilian comes from Castilla (Spain) and is derived from Latin (as well as Portuguese, French and Italian).

My question would be is this kinda troll bait is what kids from 2000s do nowadays? I mean, I don't wanna sound like someone nostalgic about the past, but trolls of the past would actually put some work in their attempts!

How about English, Portuguese and Italian? Are those languages originating from white people?
