Other Latinos also joined the game. A half-Spanish, half-American called himself "spam"; a Cuban Jew goes by Jewban; and a Peruvian from Minnesota describes herself as a Minneruvian. Meanwhile, a Puerto Rican from New York insisted that dominicanos were half-Dominican, half-anus (ano is anus in Spanish). And an Indian Jew wrote in with his moniker: Gandhistein. But the final, wisest word goes to a full-blooded gabacho:
"How about an American, like all of us mutts?"
