My great grandpa fled The Bringing of the Socialist Utopia that was the Mexican Revolution, and I'm the definition of "white devil", so I guess I'm white Hispanic.

It's just a mechanism for lumping "hispanics" into the "people of color" category, in order to demonize the "whites".
Of course, in the case of George Zimmerman (white hispanic) killing the Skittles PhD (black), then he's categorized as "white" since he's obviously evil. |

I’m a white hispanic. It’s an ethnicity not a race, Hispanic literally means “descendant of or from Spain”...

Oh shit, I have Portagee blood in me from my Japanese side, does that mean I'm a White Asian Euro-Hispanic? WTF am I???
What do I check on my gun papers? |

I'm part Mexican (through Spain, though there is some info to suggest Spanish Jew), and I game the system by calling myself Hispanic, and I identify as Hispanic, so I am definitely NOT white. Use the leftists own definitions against them.

I work with one, he is half Mexican but looks more like a Greek. He checked both hispanic and white on his ATF forms I submitted. He wasn't lying.

Many hispanic people will choose "white" on a form, even if they have African heritage.
The question is there as a way to better quantify demographics, rather than having a bunch of inconclusive data. Nothing more. The reason is a holdover of self identification due to systematic racism from the old days and people gaming the system as best they can to avoid it: better to claim to be white on official governmental forms even if you aren't. Its the same reason children of mixed race in the us were sometimes called "Cherokee" 100+ years ago. If you can pass as a native american you will experience less discrimination than if you were black. Sad but true. People don't think history be like it is, but it do. |

Spanish people are fairly light skinned, at least unless they have a mix of Moor or Indian mixed in. Mexico is a nation. So they needed another group. Indian is still Indian. Hispanic is a mix of Spanish and something else, then you get this.
FWIW I am much darker skinned than many of the more recent immigrants from Mexico in my town. They still have a much more strict cast system, dark skin is looked down on. A lot of them are getting close to Lilly white, -0- time in the sun without complete sunblock. |

Both my mom's parents are from Mexico.

White hispanic = imperialist/oppressor
All other hispanics = oppressed minority ETA: I'm an Asturian-Proto-Celtic-Afro-Taino-Merican...so I'm basically an Uber-mutt. |

Since Hispanics are those that trace their origins to Spain or Portugal. Would all speakers of a Latin derived language be Latinos? People consider Spanish linguistic groups Latinos, so obviously the Original Latinos would be from Italy. Should not French be considered as a Latin derived linguistic group. In which case, even modern English would be a shirt tail cousin once removed.

Northern European, or just normal white. Some Hispanics shoehorned themselves in because of racist caste systems below the border.

Technically Hispanic is not a race. It's like being German. Now, Hispanics in the America's, a lot anyway, could argue not being White due to Native American lineage.

Quoted: What is a white, non-hispanic person? View Quote A white hispanic is castizo, or very little native american genetics. Granted I suppose anybody from mexico can mark themselves as white Hispanic, even if they look straight native American so it doesn't really matter. Non hispanic would be from Europe/some of Asia. |
