@EdBoatConnoisseur @white_male @gnarley_boot @PonyPanda @Curvin "hispanic"

how many different ethnicities are there south (and now north) of the Rio Grande? probably too many.

some almost wholly White; some almost wholly Amerindian of the Mesoamerican kind; some niggers; some expat populations of Japanese, Germans, Palestinians, etc; mixtures of a lot of this.

does "Hispanic" exist as a category in Latin American countries? it came to exist in the US, as a distinct category, after it was made clear that being classified as White didn't have as many advantages as being classified as some kind of brown or black in the 1960's..
