<p>Hi Entomom: In my first post I recognized that many people as classified by the US census, could be considered Hispanic. In my second post, I gave you my belief. Out of brevity, I only named Central America. But certainly North America and South America should be included. In my third post I was just being silly. Of course as mentioned, what I believe does not matter. </p>
<p>BTW, the US census might consider Spaniards as Hispanic, but from my experience most consider themselves European and would be insulted by being called Hispanic. The dilution of the European blood line is the whole basis of the Hispanic Caste system, which Mestizo is a classification.</p>
