Jennifer Lopez

Hey there, I've reverted all your edits in Jennifer Lopez. Her last name does not contain an accent mark, which you've added. Before making controversial changes, please start a discussion on the talk page before making any further edits. Thank you. — Σxplicit 01:51, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

The Hispanics and their culture have been dominated and influenced by the North American society for the last 100 years or more since both cultures started a more close relationship of commercial exchange and with that a cultural exchange due to geographical or political circumstances. Part of the American trans-culturalization over the Hispanics is to reject or Americanize the Hispanic culture. Under that kind of influence, countries as México, Guatemala or Puerto Rico have degraded some aspects of their respective cultures, among them is the proper use of the orthographic Spanish accents. From the American point of view the Hispanic culture is a culture ‘less than’ any other culture, for example any European language with all its exotic orthographic accents are reproduced in the United States of America just as they must be in their European countries. If we see French terms or names or words in any American newspaper we always see that cautiously the editor pays attention to write properly their special ‘sui generis’ spelling. Same with Polish, German, or any other ‘exotic non-american language’. It is not the first time that ignorance is going to play a role in the idiosyncrasy of an individual, and for not showing up that she is a plane ignorant in that regard she will say that her last name or first name is written so and so instead of doh and doh. I agree that many ‘divas’ or ‘divos’ (of non-Hispanic heritage) have modified also their names for marketing purpose and as a trademark. I don’t think that Jennifer López intended to sell herself to the public as Lopez, neither I believe that her family never used the accent in their own deliberative will. More than ever, for the above reasons that I established I am convinced that she, for having being born under an ‘American colony’ had to follow the non-written rule of Americanizing herself (consciously or unconsciously) and despising her own native Hispanic culture, giving little or not importance at all for those ‘insignificant details’ of proper spelling. As a sample of ‘doing the proper thing’, recently the city of San José California had changed its name. For many years that city was written as San Jose but in the last 20 years new kind of immigrants have arrived from México, Chile, Argentina and Spain, many of them with college degree and proper academic training; sooner or later they have made an impact, opening several types of businesses. Now everybody with a proper education, aware of the Spanish grammar and willing to respect its rules knows how to write properly San José as well as many other terms or names that must be accented. The use of the ‘ñ’ is also visible and used in publications around that city. Bronto ►♂◄ 03:36, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
