Wait , what? That was not a confirmed suicide.

Looking back, I think that was irrelevant. The fact that he willfully advocated for suicide in a thread about being suicidal made a lot of people question whether he was fit to be a doctor.

Last I heard, he advocated suicide in a thread that an unmatched Caribbean grad made and then the grad committed suicide. Posters threatened to tell the school he was accepted to, so he disappeared.

I thought that was a user on /r/premed. Did the same thing happen first on SDN?

Pardon my ignorance, but how is this the same? There are people who are Hispanic whose native language is not Spanish.

i guess you're referring to portuguese or brazilian? maybe technically they're considered hispanic, but i don't think the majority of either culture identify as such. thus, any person that identifies as hispanic, would be from a spanish-speaking country: Mexico, Central America, South America, some Caribbean countries, or Spain.

I know what you're going for, but I still find it funny that you bring up Brazil as a Portuguese-speaking Latin country and then refer to South America as a continent of Spanish-speaking countries.

Edit: Latino/a refers to people from Latin America, which is South plus Central America plot Spanish-speaking Caribbean nations minus Guyana and Suriname.

why is it funny? lol it's ONE portuguese-speaking country in a continent that is considered to be "hispanic". that's why i included it my point. you can be south america and not hispanic...i don't think people go that far to describe themselves. i guess a brazilian would just say "i'm brazilian"

edit: grammar and to further my point

It's a continent with mostly Hispanic countries, but Brazilian (or Guyanese, or Surinamese) people are not Hispanic unless they have roots in a Spanish-speaking country (or PR, I guess).

Well, kids/adults/ young adults aspiring to be Doctors have to have more class than the Truppnefuhrer or we'd be fired on the spot ( or even from Applebees...or Starbucks...or really any menial job we could we working to pay bills while in school, as some people do).

People always ask me how am I nor Arab/Turkish my skin is so pale and my features look Turkish. Geez, I go to a Turkish Mosque and sometimes people will just start babbling Turkish at me and it's like ".....". Especially since I lost that slight Desi accent I used to have :oops:

Why so many categories when "the Orient" and "the West" would suffice??/s?

Yes, and French-speaking Caribbean countries that I forgot about (but apparently French-speaking regions of Louisiana and Canada don't count). I guess it could be defined as any country in the Americas where the national majority speaks a romance language.

I'm pretty sure it includes Brazil.

Definitely includes Brazil. Spaniards and Portuguese are not considered Latino (or Latinx, if you really want to be hip and PC). Most Spanish-speaking Latin Americans identify more strongly as latino/a than as Hispanic (for a number of reasons, the two most important reasons that I am aware of are probably 1. that there isn't really a great word in Spanish for "Hispanic" that is commonly used, so the term "Hispanic" is more commonly used by those of non-Hispanic heritage; and 2. that Latin Americans have an incredibly diverse racial and ethnic background that includes far more than just Spanish ancestry, so many people prefer to identify as latino/a rather than as descendants of Spanish colonists).
TL;DR be nice to people and use whatever term they prefer.

None of this, however, really has to do with where DoctorBobby is now, so we should probably get back on topic.

Nah, I think it's weird to sit around and discuss someone. Especially in a negative way. Especially if they may see it. That's just me. So, this is one thread I'm happy to participate in derailing. Lol. I don't know what more I can say about Brazilians being Latino though :/
