Latino/Hispanic is not a race, it is an enthnicity. There are only a few "races": White, Black, Asian, and maybe Aboriginal and a few others. Mexico was colonized by the Spanish, who are definitely White Europeans. Sorry you think your gene pool has been muddled.

Mexico was colonized by the Spanish, who are definitely White Europeans.

Mexico was conquered by the Spanish but the colonization consisted of relatively few Spaniards inter-marrying with the native Mesoamerican population.

The current Mexican demographic breakdown is as follows:

mestizo (Amerindian-Spanish) 60%
Amerindian or predominantly Amerindian 30%
white 9%
other 1%

The article does presume, however, that anybody with a Spanish surname automatically qualifies as a Mexican Mestizo or a Mexican Amerindian. By the logic of determining race by surname, Shaquielle O'Neil would be Irish.

Kind of a dumbassed statement, given that my daughter is half Philippino.

That shouldn't get in the way of your race-baiting though. Nor should the police practice of identifying suspects as Latino, nor the practice of the Census Bureau of attempting to identify Latinos within the greater population.

No, the transparency of your racist agenda is no reason to stop now.

Go to the site and click as instructed. They ain't "white", but it does help to maintain the illusion that the American white male is the greatest threat to civilization.

 

Besides, you've missed the point entirely... when these guys' relatives are applying for schools, jobs, or fedgov cash, do you think they're still categorized as "white"? Ahhhhhhh.... there's the rub. Get it yet?

I think your response to the osbervation is, as they say, "FULL OF IT."

Mexico was colonized by Spanish, but they were never a majority. The Natives existed and the Spanish imported thousands of African slaves.

Not quite. There's a reason the phrase is "the human race." (But just try to get the government to put THAT on your driver's license.)
