Is Hispanic considered white in america? I always thought you guys drew some kinda line under that?

I get the impression that there's one particular anon who's just extremely committed to that viewpoint. Been seeing it a lot lately.

The thing with Hispanics in America is that it's kind of a separate category from white versus POC. There are some POC Hispanics and some white Hispanics. It's actually a separate question from ethnicity on the census - there's one question asking what ethnicity you are, and another asking whether or not you're Hispanic. So it's complex.

Hispanic is white. It is just some mixed race parentage Native Americans and mixed race parentage black people have appropriated the label. Hispanic is for those who are from, either directly or ancestrally, Spain or Portugal (same as Latin, which actually includes some non-Roma gypsies and some French) and those guys are white. They are Southern European whites. That is it.

The mixed race parentage Native Americans and mixed race parentage black people just have too much internal racism to admit that, because in the ridiculous racism pecking order the status lift they get from being associated with Southern European Whites makes them feel superior to Native Americans (especially Central and Caribbean natives) and black people.

Not that it troubles me any, I only really care that the actor does a good job - I regularly argue in favour of live action Want - and Vasquez was played to perfection. It just always blows my mind when I remember it.
