Hispanics are Racially White, so What is it About Speaking Spanish Makes m NOT White?

Mexicans are a mixed bag, most are Mestizo which is a mix of Indian/white/Black etc etc, there are white Mexicans whose families came from Europe, the bottom of the barrel in Mexico are the Indians and the Blacks who live there.

Actually the paper shows that 2/3rds are NOT Mestizo.

I suspect that the US has a far higher percentage of mixed Amerindian heritage that is simply not known to the person, but we don't call them Mestizo.
 
Hispanic simply means Spanish. White folks living in Spain are Hispanic, as are Mestizos living in Mexico.

Basically, anyone that is not Anglo or black and speaks Spanish can be considered a Hispanic. People may not like being called something, but it has nothing to do with insults, it's just a way to say they are not anglo nor black...that's all.

So Asian Americans are Hispanic too? Cool!

:D

True. However, when filling out forms and having to identify ethnic background, they always have "Hispanic" as an option on the form. A friend who's from Samoa, mentioned to me that when filling out forms, his ethnicity is usually not listed. He identifies himself as an Islander, however most forms do not have this option to accommodate those who are from Samoa or other similar islands like the Fiji islands, Tonga island ...etc). He always winds up selecting "other". This is really awkward since we have a substantial Samoan community within the U.S.
 
:lol::lol::lol::lol:
You and unkotare are two pieces of shit,and cant speak ****.



You're a racist douchebag and you're not doing yourself any favors here.
laughing at you for saying I give a shit,about what you think,that is if you think....


To the extent that you are capable of thinking at all, it doesn't matter what you think. You're a racist fucking douchebag regardless.
 
Racially they ARE white.

Ethnically there are different subtypes.
 
His·pan·ic adjective \hi-ˈspa-nik\
: coming originally from an area where Spanish is spoken and especially from Latin America; also : of or relating to Hispanic people

Full Definition of HISPANIC

1
: of or relating to the people, speech, or culture of Spain or of Spain and Portugal
2
: of, relating to, or being a person of Latin American descent living in the United States; especially : one of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin

To most people, Hispanic refers to people of Latin America--South and Central America and Mexico. The Spanish and Portuguese speaking people of Europe are right to consider themselves non-Hispanic. That should be respected.

Hispanic is a United States term, and people from Spain and Portugese are called Spanish/Portugese. But, if you descended from Spain and are living in the United States, and you are not anglo nor black you will probably be considered Hispanic. Spaniards and Portugese may feel insulted being called Hispanic here in the US, but since they are not anglo nor black, that's what most people will consider them to be.

Hispanic/Latino basically mean the same thing.

Absolute NONSENSE.
They are considered what they are - white Europeans if thy are fresh immigrants. Or just simply white if they are descendants born here.
And that is what they are called.
Have not seen anybody from Spain or Portugal ( and I know quite a few) to be considered or called "hispanic" EVER.

Does not happen to most Argentinians also, btw.
