Hispanic is not a race. A Cuban such as Desi Arnez is 100% white of Spanish decent. Fidel is white. Many of the elite Mexican's are white, Fox is white. Many of the South American countries have a signicant number of people that are of French decent but speak Spanish. I think that a good case can be made if someone complains about a white Hispanic getting preferance at one of these schools.

A white descendant of a Cuban slaveowner (where there were far more slaves than the U.S.) is an oppressed minority and a Laotian boat person is not. Just part of the bizarre racial classifications that have always existed in the U.S.

BTW, Homer Plessy of Plessy v. Ferguson was only 1/8 black yet that was enough to hold to the laws of Jim Crow. Bizarre definitions of race are not new.
