Question

What would a hispanic or latino feel about this.

Also, I am not really sure if my dad is actually of Spanish

decent but does speak spanish and grew up with latino friends.

Answer 1

yes, i guess you are

Arubans are a mix of Black, white, and native american, just like most Latin Americans. in addition to that Arubans speak a language called Papiamentu, which is a spanish creole language, and most speak regular spanish as well. so yea, Arubans are latino.

If your dad is half-venezuelan like you claim then you do have some latino  bl00d. Embrace it. Even if he really doesn't then you can still embrace it.

Well that depends.  Aruban - can be Dutch, or a native indian that has South American Origins.  So really it depends on the Arubian part.  You still have some latino blood but you may also have Dutch and/or native Aruban.

If you were born in America you are an American.

Answer 8

Dutch American (or Aruban American)..if your dad holds a Dutch passport because he was born, lived or grew up in Aruba..eventhough he spoke and hung out with Spanish ppl, since you are not sure that he is from Spanish decent..Almost everyone in Aruba speaks, Dutch, Papiamento, Spanish, English, and some French..
