You have to make a pretty big stretch for the modern meaning of “Hispanic” to mean someone born in New York of Portuguese descent.
How is that the case?
Sotomayer was born in the Bronx and is of Puerto Rican descent. If Puerto Ricans are Hispanics, how are Portugese not?
Are Brazilians not Hispanics because they have Portugese blood in them as opposed to Spanish?
...and also Jewish.
I don’t care if one is Hispanic or not but clearly Justice Cardozo does not fit the label of “Hispanic” as currently defined.
Heck, then again, what do you call Japanese Peruvians, who are pure 100% by blood but are classified “Hispanics”..
Boy! I just confused myself.... See!!! That is why labels dont work!
