What’s a “hispanic” and how does one prove that they are such.
According to the feds, hispanics are those descended from Spanish-speaking people. So under this definition, a European in Spain is hispanic. We have a blond, green-eyed friend whose father is from Spain. She has learned to check the hispanic box to advance her career.
I've never heard of the govt asking for proof of claimed grievance group. It prefers instead to rely on "self-identification." That's how Ward Churchill gets to claim he is Native American.
