Weird misinformation here.

</p>

<p>The only misinformation here is your own. I suggest that you start by learning the difference between ethnicity and race. For the census definition of Hispanic, you should read post #1 of the Hispanic definition sticky thread (as the OP was instructed to do in post #2 of this thread):</p>

<p>[Persons</a> of Hispanic or Latino origin, percent, 2000](<a href=“http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/meta/long_68188.htm]Persons”>http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/meta/long_68188.htm)</p>

<p>

"Hispanics or Latinos are those people who classified themselves in one of the specific Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino categories listed on the Census 2000 questionnaire -‘Mexican, Mexican Am., Chicano,’ ‘Puerto Rican’, or ‘Cuban’ -as well as those who indicate that they are ‘other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino.’ Persons who indicated that they are ‘other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino’ include those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on.</p>

<p>"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.</p>

<p>“People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race.”

</p>

<p>If you go to the CA you will see that 2 questions are asked. One about Hispanic ethnicity and one about race. Also note that Spain is an option listed when a students designates that they are Hispanic. That student can go on to indicate that they are white (and/or any other race) with no conflict with their Hispanic designation.</p>

<p>Of course all of this information was given previously in this thread and you have chosen to call it “gravely incorrect” based solely on your own personal definitions of ethnicity and race and not supported by any fact, so I’m a little confused at how to proceed with a rational discussion.</p>
