HISPANIC
(Person of Mexican Puerto Rican Cuban Central or South American or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race)
"or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race"...Yup, checkmark on Hispanic. You should see my D/L Photo. They must have used the Latino filter....
So, we're now officially Hispano-Celtic-Native Americans.
I do recall with the census form we claimed 800,000 illegal aliens were living in my garage. This may explain why there are so many Salvadorans hanging out on the streets of San Mateo...
Their culture is Portugese, and the Portugese very forcibly made their point several times in history that they refused to be Spanish.
ROTFLMAO! That means all Italians are Hispanic.
At an IT shop where I worked some years ago there was an Indian (from India, not an Injun) who had an apparently "Hispanic" name. Seems his family were Roman Catholics rather than Hindus or Muslims. So they changed the family name to something "Christian" way back when. In practise, this meant Spanish because the missionaries were from Spain.
The boss sure was peeved when he refused to put himself down as "Hispanic" on the EEOC form. I think the boss was trying to fill some kind of quota (not called a quota, of course).
As said in the Monty Python Movie "In Search of the Holy Grail": "I got better"
