Press seems uncertain on the racial breakdown, as your post indicates.

That's because "Hispanic" is not a race, it's an ethncity, and really just means a Spanish speaking person of the new world. For example I know a "hispanic" whose name is something like Sven Nielson, he's from Mexico City. Hispanics may be white (say from Chile or Argentina) or Black (Cuba or other Carribean area) or brown, which itself is really a mixture of white and red (that is AmerInd)

oh thanks! That's really helpful and helps explain why the press is confused too. Feel stupid I didn't think of it, but thanks for taking the time to explain. You have to be right bout that.
