<p>I just find the whole definition of sorting people based on ethnicity silly. Some of my european ancestors chose to have children with Mexican natives (although i honestly don’t know a lot about that quarter, just general knowledge of the time period) creating the start of mestizos. Then the other quarter of my ancestry that gives me Hispanic status are Catalans from Northern Spain. </p>
<p>I will put down White as race and Hispanic as ethnicity for college purposes, I just do not consider myself Hispanic. To say I’m Hispanic (to me at least) says I am claiming a very rich and divided culture that I don’t consider myself apart of. I just consider myself White, and an American. </p>
<p>The fact that anyone, from someone who is 1/4 Spanish to someone who is a full Puerto Rican can put Hispanic down just seems weird to me. Of course, I don’t think there is a right answer here.</p>
<p>Thanks again to @celesteroberts for all your help in a few of my threads :D</p>
