1. Spicy/Saucy/Feisty

Can a Latina woman bitch about something all normal humans complain about without being called "spicy" or "feisty?" Literally everyone hates bad weather.

2. Hot-Blooded or Caliente

As opposed to what, being cold? Jennifer Lopez's blood and body temperature is pretty much the same as, say, Jennifer Aniston's, so why call her caliente?

3. Hot Tamale

As delicious as tamales are, it's hard to take being compared to one as a compliment. Did you just call me a banana-wrapped corn meal and meat dish?

4. Fertile

Because Latinas are the only women in the world having babies, right? Except that we're not. If we were the only ones having bebes, then we'd all be Latino, duh!

5. Muy Sexy

Congratulations, you managed to objectify Latinas in two languages. High cinco!

6. Lazy

This word has been used to devalue countless ethnic and racial groups throughout history. Using it as an insult or to describe a group of people whom you know nothing about it actually quite lazy.

7. Exotic

Because the "exotic" look people usually think of is Adriana Lima, except not all Latinas have tan skin and supermodel bodies.

8. Curvy

I once overheard a man say that he likes Latin women because they're so "bootiful," which I'm guessing meant curvy. I can't even make this up, you guys. But on a serious note, not all Latinas are built like Coca-Cola bottles.

9. Spanish

For the last time most Latinos are not Spanish! Sure, some of us speak Spanish, some of us even have Spanish last names, but most of us were not born in Spain, so we are not technically Spanish.

10. Immigrants

Here's a helpful rule of thumb: Not all Latinos are immigrants and not all immigrants are Latino.

11. Illegal

No person is illegal. The politically correct term is "undocumented," and even then, I'd suggest that you call a person by their name, not by the status of their papers.

12. JLo

You guys, JLo is a person, not an adjective. This seems like a given, but as a Puerto Rican woman from the Bronx I've actually been described as "a JLo." What does that even mean?
