Yes it is.
technically speaking
it's not
They are an ethnic group.
no
Amerindian is a race (native people of the Americas)
Hispanics are those from Hispania (Spain and Portugal), or their descendants
Mestizo is a race (mix of White and native)
Hispanic and Latino are not races
boy
Mestizos and pure Hispanics are not the same thing
they do this for a reason
Hispanics are the descendants of Spanish and Portuguese
hispanic is not a race
Hispanics are a race dude.
They are Spanish and Portuguese descendants.
They are effectively a brand of white
Hispanic means "speaks Spanish"
that's literally it
No it doesn't you idiot
it does
that's the social meaning
Hispanics are literally named from the word "Hispania"
The Latin word for Spain
They are people from Spain
no
What is this debate?
Definitions change over time...
This is autistic
"but muh root"
Hispanic is a vague term by design.
You are not wrong.
That's why when you look at demographics, they kinda hide the numbers.
They should divide Hispanics into Black, White, Amerindian, and Mixed Hispanics so that it is more clear.
also, do you know that North Africans are considered white in this country
I don't like considering Spics "Hispanics", in my eyes a Hispanic is a person who is Spanish or a pure descendant of the Spanish. Spics are mongrels created from the mixture of Native Central Americans and Spaniards.
The term Hispanic does not mean Spanish as in Spaniard though. A Hispanic is someone from the Spanish Speaking World. So technically speaking, Equatorial Guinea (in africa) is Hispanic since they speak spanish there. Definitions are dumb. Check out Hispanic vs. Latino if you are confused
The average South American is a mongrel
They are not the same as whites.
