This has NOTHING to do with how you look or your culture.

Technically, if you knew your family tree from the last 200 years…

Ancestor from the 1600’s comes to America from Africa…

His generation regardless of whom it is with all the way to today is considered African American.

Same if somebody were to come from Spain, Mexico or the like.

Any generation after regardless can be considered Hispanic.

those that come from Europe and those that come from the middle east (surprisingly enough) are considered White for the same reasons aforementioned ^
