What is 'race'?
Many try to say that Latino is not a race but rather an ethnicity. However, when you do some research on the term 'race' you find that it includes ethnicity as one way of determining some one's race.
We know that when someone uses the word 'White' when referring to a race, we do not picture Latinos. Many would say that Latinos are actually 'White', so why don't we picture a Latino when referring to 'Whites'?
To me it would be because Latino would be a race of it's self. It may not have been an original 'race', however, we do know that breading different 'races' of dog or cat would result in a new 'race' of dog or cat. So why wouldn't it work with humans?
Don't get me wrong here, I am not bashing Latinos. I am simply providing something to discuss or think about.
