That’s what I was thinking. A vast majority of Hispanics are Caucasian.
Ask La Raza
And feel free to walk around Los Angeles and try to explain to all the Mexicans how they really are white. Let us know how that goes.
Our country is being destroyed and there's always some idgits who want to argue semantics.
La Raza refers specifically to Mexicans, ie. the mixture of Spanish and Indians. Hispanic and Mexican are not synonamous. Both my daughter in laws are “Hispanic” and neither are Mexican.
People were speaking Spanish in America long before they were speaking English.
La Raza is shorthand for La Raza Hispanica and refers to European Catholics from Spain. Mestizo are European/Amerind mix. Hispanic merely means a person whose native language is Spanish. Mexican is a nationality.
Part of this is that you can be a minority descended from a white, but not a white descended from a minority. My parents have 5 children-— all white. But of the grandchildren, half are Hispanic. Of the great-grandchildren, some ‘claim to be’ black, though they are more white than black. This happens a lot to white parents. Do black parents have white descendants?
agree
