A lot of hispanics are white. It's a language group, and a pretty stupid classificiation for people.
Indeed. Agreed.
The fact remains that Hispanic's are classified as victims but not as aggessors. Any hate crime by a Hispanic is blamed on Whites---and tnat means hate crime data is impeached.
It is a stupid classification --- not based on much of anything. Not even a language group because some long time non-immigrant Americans who speak only English but have some Spanish ancestry are called "hispanic", so is a Mayan Indian from Guatemala or Chiapas who speaks only a Mayan dialect and little or no Spanish is called a "hispanic". Those who speak a weird street Spanish-English mix who cannot be understood by English nor Spanish speakers are still hispanic. It's not a race, it's not a really even a language group.
