You might want to read up before making bold statements like that. Hispanics are most definitely not a race, but a fabrication of the political machine. Here is one interesting discussion

The misconception that Hispanic is a race is so ingrained in this country that many Hispanics are confused themselves. This creates a big problem in marketing research, because many would check “Other” if “Hispanic” were not included in the race category. Yet, many Hispanics would check “White” or “Black” and not “Hispanic”, if “Hispanic” was included as a category. The answer is to divide the question like the census does and to pay close attention to how the questions are worded.
