@tola2015, Many Argentinians and other South Americans are of European descent and are white, having emigrated to escape the war, however, they are considered ‘Hispanic’ (from another thread):
[quote[In the context of the National Hispanic Recognition Program, the rules are below. It appears you need to have (at a minimum) a grandparent born in one of the countries listed below.

What is the NHRP’s definition of Hispanic/Latino?
To qualify for this program, you must be at least one-quarter Hispanic/Latino. Hispanic/Latino is an ethnic category, not a racial category; you may be of any race. For purposes of the NHRP, you must be from a family whose ancestors came from at least one of these countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, Uruguay or Venezuela.

Also, many Brazilians and Caribbean natives are of African descent, but are not technically “African American” (the Brazilian blacks would be technically “Hispanic”).
I do not think the answer is clear-cut. What do you think about this ‘Hispanic’ thread vis-a-vis ‘African American’?
