It's self-identified, right? You can be Hispanic of any race.
I tan up pretty good.
I'll use the Hispanic version of my name.

Bet I get a ton of offers.

I did it years ago when applying to universities. My mother was Venezuelan. My name couldn't be any more Irish/Anglo, however so there was no noticeable effect.

Also the diversity posturing wasn't a thing like it is now.

didn't a country recently announce that they would in fact recognize racial identity regardless of biological race ... i.e. I was born white but now identify as black, etc.

You know, if you're actually fluent in spanish it really, really helps in your job application. And white(as in actual white) hispanics do exist.

My children are “white” but born and raised in a Latino Hispanic majority culture. Does that make them Hispanic?

With the current diversity push it might be helpful especially if you're in a technology industry.  There is a strong desire for Hispanics in engineering and software right now.  Boxes to check you know...


Now here's the down side the more militant Hispanics in the organization are likely to hunt you down and call you out on it.  I say this as a guy with a hispanic surname and a whitebread 1st name.  You will questioned about do you speak spanish?  Where are you from?  

I even had one young lady ask if my wife is white?  Funny thing is my wife is the most pale Venzuelan on the planet who actually speaks spanish unlike myself.

I already got the "jab" (gay fucking name for it) because I passed the ninth grade, and took biology.

Hispanic and Mexican are not the same thing. I learned that in school too. Maybe the gun crowd should pay more attention to that there newfangled school thingy.

My last name is sort of a known black name. Mostly from certain football celebs and other tv retards.  Those people just so happened to get my name from my ancestors. .  But, none the less, last time I had to do the job hunt tango I was told not once. But twice that they thought I was an African American. And you could hear the disappointment in their voice while explaining to me that they were looking for a minority candidate. And asked the clearly white voice on the phone if I was indeed not a minority.   Then said goodbye. I ended both of those conversations with me not wanting to work for a racist company. And thanked them for not wasting my time.

This racist discrimination should be illegal.  But our government incentivizes it.
