You can mark all that apply. I believe he also writes in "Multicultural Gentlemæ about Town" in the "other" box.

The US Federal Government has some weird thing where hispanic counts as white in some instances. I ran into this same thing while filling out human subjects data for NIH supported research. I have no idea if or how it applies to the census, but that may be why hispanic doesn't appear here as an option.

@previous (F)
that is odd
esp cause there have been some instances where it's apparent hispanic people are considered separate from white people (ex: any illegal immigrant argument ever) so that must fuck up numbers
is it bc of spanish ancestry? idgi, metis aren't considered white afaik

There are white hispanic and black Hispanic people. It's an ethnicity not a race you silly backwards Brit.

I've never heard an good explanation for why it applies in some cases but not others. My guess is that different federal agencies just have different internal standards and practices.

oh i'm absolutely sure that's true
this would've been applied after relevant agencies were created, so each one most likely came up with its own system when the issue came up, leading to weird discrepancies like this. not sure how they deal with records that apply between agencies.

I'm quite surprised he hasn't discovered a Chinese great-great-great grandfather so he can claim that too.

@755,588 (chili dog !!81dzJNNYL)
Yeah it's weird! You can be 100% European Spaniard or 100% Amerindian, or anywhere in between, and still be "Hispanic".

What about when the hispanic is pasty white and has an american accent and everyone believes them to be white and they get treated as a white guy, but they claim to be from Guatemala because their granny was born there? Are they "Latino"?

The guy is extremely white, like albino white. But he claims to be from Guatemala and that he is a minority and scores really high on the oppression rankings. Should he check his white privilege?
