Would someone please tell me when “Hispanic” became a race. I attended anthro classes in the mid 60s and I must have missed the updates.
Its a race as long as affirmative action programs gives them scholarships and special give outs. I’ve been wondering how they prove whether one is Hispanic or not. What is to stop me from declaring my son a Hispanic for Scholarship reasons?
Hispanic is not a race. But Part Spanish might explain it better.
Bad habit.
You have to be careful who you describe as “Mexican” or “Spanish”, in some circles there is a big difference. I know some naturally blond blue eyed ladies who would take offense to being called “Mexican”. Cultural issue.
