jewel, he is Hispanic. There are white Hispanics. There are black Hispanics. There are brown Hispanics.

If his biological grandfather was Black, he can check off the African/American box.
If his biological grandfather was Native American, he can check off the Native American box.
If his biological grandfather was Asian, he can check off the Asian box.

“Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States.”

“People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race. Thus, the percent Hispanic should not be added to percentages for racial categories.”
