because hispanic is not a race. Hispanic people(in the United States and Latin America) fall into 3 categories: 1. White 2. black 3. mongoloid, or any mixture of all three or two of them. Do you refer to black people(even though a lot of them have white blood or indian in them) as anglo or Native American? Due to the history of Hispania, Hispanics come in all caucasoid flavors like Italians. There's nordic hispanics, mediterranean hispanics, and arab/iranian/gypsy looking ones,etc. It helps if you travel the world in order to see how dynamic Hispanics really are.
I'm Tejano/Mexican American but I have green eyes, reddish brown hair, and pale white skin with freckles. What do I do? Do I check two boxes?
