Answer 1

I am Hispanic, and My grandparents were the Lord Morans, and they went to Spain and came to Guatemala and married with a woman who it is said she is half German and Spaniard.  Then, my grandfather married with a Guatemalan.  My side of my father is also from Germany, and Salvadorian, Mexican, Arab, and Guatemalan. I am blood type A Rh Positive.  I think that possibly blood type A Rh Positive are from Europe. 

Answer 2

 My personal opinion. You have no obligation to follow my issues. Well, I believe that white is white and being Hispanic has no meaning. Because a white guy speaks spanish will be Hispanic.  Not, necessarily truth.  What if an American is born in Guatemala, will become Hispanic if he speaks spanish?  What if the Germans were born in Guatemala, and speaks Spanish and become  Hispanics? Not necesarily true.  I believe white is white, and that's it.  American Continent is the New Europe because our families came to American Continenet and we live here in America and it is our land which is the New Europe. What if a  white guy is blood type A Rh positive and he's Hispanic. Right...? It will not sound correct.  It will sound a mockery. I think white is white, and there is no difference. We all the Americans of this continent got to feel proud of being descent of  European.  

Answer 3

Race is a socially constructed, culturally mediated concept.  Before everyone gets too upset about all of the mis-categorization from the insensative masses, consider that this categorization is pretty insensative to begin with.  You will find these categories change from nation to nation.

Ethnicity is even more tricky because it is not necessarily tied to any phenotype (genetics that are expressed in appearance, i.e., skin, hair,or eye color or hair type).  This is because some people, despite their appearance or lifestyle, may feel a strong sense of indentiy with an ethnic group.    

Surveys, Polls, and Application etc. may attempt to capture our identities with the check of box but I'll ask you all- Do any of you really feel these one-word racial or ethnic terms, or any phrase for that matter, is capable of doing this? 

What are the costs to multiethnic communities?  I would argue, this is an area that we should allow to be communicated in other ways than a quick word.

Answer 8

I'm chilean, My father is white caucasian and my mom is white hispanic (French anscestry and surname).  I know for sure I look white caucasian for Peruvians, Bolivians or Mid-Easterners, Mediterranean white for Europeans, and White Hispanic for Americans.  Maybe even an indio for Norwegians or Far-East Asians...It's confusing.

I can see I look pretty much the same than most of my former schoolmates, University mates and coworkers, so I think these tags may apply to most of Chile.

In fact there's a huge mix of colors and races around here, though the social/skin relationship still prevails.  The best paid jobs are held by Whites and White Hispanics, while low-skilled workers  are mostly brown and indians.  That's why this ghetto/hip-hop marketing from the U.S., has been so easily welcome by our lower classes, because they look pretty much the same.  

Answer 9

All the stereotyping that Hispanic is somehow a homogenous brown race comes from the often bigoted ignorance of both white Anglo America and radical "brown-power" Mexica propaganda who insist on racializing the Hispanic identity for political gain. The latter tends to selfishly hoard the identity and stupidly screams "race-traitor" as soon as anyone makes mention of this, while the former immediately segregates and patronizes anything Spanish as "exotic" and distinct from "white society." Many government agencies, surveys, and the media at large are also guilty of shamelessly perpetuating this destructive ignorance, constantly isolating this cultural identity from white, black, etc., when the absolute fact is HISPANIC IS NOT A RACE. There are no such thing as Hispanics who "look white" - THEY ARE WHITE. By extension, there are no Hispanics who "look black" either - THEY ARE BLACK.

If you want to describe Hispanic as an ethnicity, you would be limited to just Spaniards and the Hispanos of the Americas. In such a case, full-blooded ethnic Hispanics would all be white.

Now in the cultural sense, Hispanic includes all the Hispanophone (Spanish-speaking) peoples of the world. Thus in the U.S. and throughout the Americas, the majority of those with culturally Hispanic background tend to be of Amerindian, African, or multiracial background.

So yes the majority of Hispanic Americans can be considered brown or at least non-white. However, to narrow-mindedly assume that everyone of Hispanophone background looks the same, as if it is just one single brown race, is one of the worst forms of prejudice and a vulgar display of disrespect towards the ancestral and cultural diversity of the Spanish-speaking world.

Answer 10

 This is maddening in a way , the confusion that some of these answers bring.

Here are the simple facts:

 

"Hispanic" or "latino" are interchangable terms. BOTH or either term refers to an ethnic group, NOT a race. You can be hispanic and be of any race. It is a label that is NOT racially specific. It's the same as asking if there are white or black or blue catholics or left-handers or Jews or Mets fans. Hispanic or latino are simply not racial groups.

Racially, you are either negroid,caucasoid,mongoloid, or some sort of combination of  two or more of those three. How one self identifies---or is 'classified' by society--is beside the point. 

In other words, if you are white, you are white, black, you are black, and so on. "Hispanic" or "latino' or 'european' ,etc, have absolutely nothing to do with it. Ignore the cultural background as it has no bearing on the question.

Answer 11

There is no difference except that the White Hispanic comes from a Spanish speaking background. All of the original peoples of Europe & the Middle East are Caucasians. (Also would include many, if not most, North Africans & West Asians.) The term "white" is not necessarily meant to be taken so literally as race is actually defined by craniofacial anthropometry, not skin tone. It is merely a synonym for Caucasian. Only those of sub-Saharan African ancestry & East Asian ancestry (and this would actually include Native Americans) are not Caucasian. As has been pointed out throughout this thread, there are certain countries in Latin America which are a majority white (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Cuba & Costa Rica.) Also, the majority of Puerto Ricans (on the island) self-identify as white on the U.S. Census. Of course, folks from Spain & Portugual are white. Even if there is some distant Moorish ancestry, that is still Caucasian (North African Berber). I've heard some idiots try to claim that Italians (especially Sicilians) & Greeks aren't white but that they are just as white as anyone from any other part of Europe. Same goes for most Middle Esterners, especially the Lebanese & Syrians. Likewise for Armenians & Turks. White Hispanics make up 37% of the population of Latin America. Not a majority but a plurality. In short, a White Hispanic is not a Hispanic who looks white. He/She is a Hispanic who IS white.

Answer 12

I think that every must see their own point of view.
Hispanic is not a race. period..Is just used it in USA to separate minorities (in their world they like to do that, jajaja)
Now, There is a lot people that looks like white, but who can tell them that they have other race, do they have a complete genealogy tree??. I don't think so.
To Spaniards.....In Latin America....you like it or not...we are the descendents of that Spain families who colonized the new world. Our Spanish or Italian heritage exists. Some people feels more identified with Indians, that is OK. others with African, is ok too.
You need know more about USA history, the Ku Kux Klan and Neo n***s, believes in pure white race. That is racism. and many of them are not 100% whites. Through many generations this kind of believe came to be truth based on lies, as many others...Spain conquered the old west, many of the same racist people try to degrade the Spanish Empire history. please do not add to this kind of people saying that Spanish heritage is forgotten and Latina America is Mestiza or Indian only....to be mestizo must be 50% indian and 50% spanish (no moro descendants), Castizo means a mestizo and Spanish...and Castizo and Spanish is Spanish again...and so on...there is more to 20 kind of classification, cholo is Mestizo and Indian...you see. For all Spanish descendents, fight to do not lose our pride and heritage! and don't believe that KKK's racism.

Answer 13

I'm sorry Guest9182, but you're wrong.

Copypasta from a very intelligent comment I've read here:

"Hi, I'm from Spaim. So I'm european, and i'm WHITE.
In Latin America, there are black, asian, white, indian, and mixed race peopple.

I can not understand why, the term hispanic means a race in the USA.

If you have spanish blood and indian blood, you're mestizo!
if you have spanish blood only, you're white

There are a lot of white people from CUBA, and a lot of black people from CUBA.

White hispanic doesn't means: a white people mixed with an hispanic ... because hispanic is not a race. White hispanic means a white men / woman from an hispanic (cultural word) country.

I think that you have a great confusion in the States, that's your problem.

PD: Portugal and Spain are not the same country.
Portugal was called Lusitania by roman people, and the rest of Spain was called Tarraconensis and Callaecia ... the Iberian Peninsula, whas called Hispania ... Hispania means (Portugal, Spain, Andorra, a part of the south of France, Gibraltar)

We are not LATINOS ... latin people was a minority ethnical group in Italy 2000 years ago ... so our blood is not latin ...

We speak a roman mixed language ... and a language doesn't means a race ... there are black, indian, asian, mixed people who speak english, and we do not consider ANGLOSAXONS as a taned race ..."

Answer 15

Selma Hayek is Lebanese r****d

Answer 16

I am blue eyed and blonde spaniard, and be sure my a*s (wich is never tanned) is probably more white than a sweddish a*s. From here we consider Argentina, Uruguay and may be Chile as white countries, while Ecuador, Perú and Bolivia are Indian countries who speack spanish. Cuba has a white majority and Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela are mostly mestizoes. In Hispano-America there are a lot of blacks too. So, the conclusion is "hispanic" is not a race, it only indicates "origin in a spanish speaker country" -or portugese if you include Brazil-. These kind of race features are for cracies, specially in America, where most of people are mixed.

Answer 17

Well, I'm very confused myself. My parent's were both born in Venezuela. I know my mom's side is Spanish and Portuguese cause they were first generation immigrants to South America. My dad's side is where it gets foggy. His dad is a quarter black, making me like 6% black, my great grandmother on his side was Amazon Indian making 12.5% Indian. The rest is all Italian and Spanish.

This complex on race we have in the latino community affects famlies all over. I have a white sister with blonde black girl hair and an African nose, I have a sister that looks like pochahontas and I think I look mostly like my moms side, but I have dark hair and brown eyes. This really divides within families. I hear my sister's make fun of one's skin color, or the other one's nose. It's aparent even to children. (It doesn't help that we live in Wisconsin)

I'm not blonde enough for my mom's family and I'm not dark enough for my dad's. My mom's family thought it was a disgrace she married a brown man. Am I white enough to work on Univision? lol

Answer 18

The true is that only europeans are techniclly white race.
American (all continent) pople generally are mixed in more or less %. In USA the white (non-hispanic) people are mixed too. An study about genetics shows that 33% in USA white(non-hispanics) have from 2-20% black genes.
So, no confuse, for American (continent) effects...There are American-Whites, Hispanic-whites, Native americans (hispanics-no hispanics), Blacks(hispanics an no hispanics) and Asians (hispanics, no hispanics). Hispanic is not a race...just a ethnicity. It depends where you fit. No one can tell you what race you are....Europeans can say what ever they believe, but here in our continent (America).....we are a mixed new world...please read and investigate.
Personally, In America, a person with 80% white and 20% black or 100% white ...is white, a person with 70% black and 30 other...is black....because, How we here in America can say that all our descendents were 100% whites...came on, you can have blond hair and blue eyes, However in your genes can have Native, black or Asian blood. Elvis Presley is Mixed(Indian blood), but society says he is "white"....why do you believe that this only applies for no-hispanic white people?. are Spaniards no Whites?Think it about it.

Answer 19

The whole Hispanic race debate is silly. There is no "Hispanic" race.

I was born in Cuba, of Spanish descent, and I get sick of the whole "you don't look Hispanic BS." My father is white, blond, with green eyes, and my mom has brown hair, and light brown eyes. I am dirty blond, with light brown eyes with shades of green.

One of my friends who is also Cuban looks Chinese and gets passed for Chinese everywhere, even though he only speaks Spanish and English, and was born in Cuba.

I am a white Hispanic, yeah, we do exist, One one side of my family my gandparents were Spaniards, and on the other side, they were of direct Spanish descent. But no...Americans have to believe that all Hispanics are Amerindians or mestizo...h**l, half my law school class thought I was Polish or French. Took me a long time to convince many of them I am Hispanic. I guess it doesn't help that my last name is Catalalonian, and doesn't sound like a typical Spanish last name, and my first name is from Sweden.

Answer 21

all you people are all comfused read your bible.

Answer 22

Here's a simple test you can use to determine a Hispanic's race and cut through most of the Brainwashing and different racial agenda's. Let's say you know someone who is "Hispanic and his/her surname happens to be Martinez. Now mentally change the surname to Applegate or something Anglo/English. Would he/she be White, Black, or Amerindian?

Answer 23

Since all the racial mixing is going on in the USA, the question which is really perttinent is what is a white American?

Answer 24

Hispanic is an American term. It was first racial one calling the Amerindian (this means native tribes for the ignorant readers) and mixed raced people (mestizos) from Mexico. If you are Spanish, or you came form a Spanish speaking country in South or Central America and you have pure Spanish ancestry you are white hispanic, as in U.S. there are anglo-americans.Such people e are white by race and Hispanic by culture that derive from Spain or are directly form Spain.You cannot expect a Dane to look like a Spaniard - different climate. Or a Greek to be as a German.

Answer 25

White Hispanic means exactly what it says-a Hispanic person who is white. Unfortunately, the African American community has a serious problem virging on the pathological with that.

Answer 26

African Amricans are quite willing to accept that there are pure black and pure Amerindian Hispanics. But they refuse vehemently  to accept that there are pure European Hispanics descended from European immigrants on both sides.
TRhis is a psychological necessity. It's also a psychological necessity for African Americans to view Italians, Jews, Greeks, or any other person from a non northern European country as nonwhite.  So you all are wasting your time.

Answer 27

Response from a  Mexican Jew .You are very ignorant People
The only true Hispanic people are the Spaniards, Hispanos
The Hispanic term was invented by Richard Nixon, yes, and Anglo is the the father of the Hispanic race, Mexican, Cuban, Portuguese are nationalities not races. There are  White Mexicans Like Luis Miguel Carlos Slim Salma Hayek , the ruling elites of Latin America are white European, the middle class is mix, the lower class is mostly Indian. Outside United States the Hispanic term does not exist, it is so American like hamburgers and hot dogs. There are more Italians in Brazil than in New York, there 2 million Japanese in Brazil. Please stop this non sense,  I am a Mexican Jew and I am related to Jesus Christ because he is a Jew like me. Please travel the world and get an education.

Answer 28

Its easy your white hispanic if you have mostly european blood but were born in a latin american country. Its more cultural, since you speak spanish or portugeese or may have some more mixing with native population or slaves. White is almost all european and hispanic is a thouroughly mixed so your skin color is most likely brown. If i were you id fill out white since everyone knows white people are better than everyone else.

Answer 29

Well i really don't know because i was born in Cuba but my mother's side came from A Coruna Galicia, Spain and my father's side i'm sure it came from the north part of Spain i'm just not sure where. They both imigrated to Cuba around the 1920's. I consider myself as white. I have not one part of me that would look like not even a hint of black or indian.

Answer 30

if you have indian blood and white blood (spanish, french, british, irish ...), you're mestizo (mixed race) ... hispanic is not a race!!
some ecuadorians are mestizoes to ... more white or more brown ... but the same as you, some other are indians (with spanish surnames).
Black people in North America have scotish and irish surnames, and we do not consider irish people as black.
Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala are indian countries, only a 1 - 4% of the population is white (with spanish ascendants). A lot of people is indian (100%) in these countries and are considered as hispanics !!$$&?? in USA ... I do not understand ... In Spain, we consider them as indians, because they're not whites, and they're not like us.

Answer 33

This is not an idea, it's the real life. I repeat again, I'm white and I'm from Spain. People from Portugal are white, like us. Do you like basketball? Pau Gasol, Mark Gasol, Rudy Fernández, Juan Carlos Calderón, Sergio Sánchez are spanish basket players, and all of them are white.
People from Puerto Rico, from Cuba are caucasian to. Argentina, Uruguay are white countries. Mexicans are mestizoes, white and indians.
When I read, latin race, hispanic race, jew race, caribbean race, mediterranean race and some others, I think that you are unable to understand what is a race, and what is an ethnical or religious group.

Answer 36

Also, I'd like to add that it seems that in my youthful idealism, I had decided there were no races, it would be prejudice to consider certain traits in people to be 'typically Black/White/Asian/Hispanic' I willfully refused to check any box labelling myself as HISPANIC. How clever was I?  After being looked over for promotion for 4 years, I sat down with the head honcho who had my file in front of her and within the file was a big red stamped "MINORITY" on the top of each page in the file. When questioned, her answer was "You aren't supposed to see that!"  In other words, you are being judged differently because people classify you as part of one group or another. The affirmative action laws are there because it's (sadly) natural for the general populace to think this way. It's hard to know how many opportunities I missed while clinging to my individualistic fantasy for so many decades!

Answer 37

As someone with the last name "Sanchez" I have to say that only in my late 30s did I realize that I am Hispanic...It's what other people think you are and how you are treated based on their views that makes you Hispanic. Little did I know that the rags I wore to school, my poor grades, my general abusive childhood was being overlooked and not reported because the general populace in my community of White Northern European descendants THOUGHT I was a different culture and/or race and that might be the norm for "another culture or race)". Prejudice and the opportunities it limits determines what SOCIETY classifies you as. That's all language is, right? What the general populace decides is acceptable? Otherwise our English language would be static, or at least as rigid as the French language.

Answer 38

So what about a man how was born and raised 20 miles from the Mexican border who was loved and cared for by many Latino friends, lovers, in-laws and coworkers over his lifetime??.  He spent the first 35 years of his live deep in the culture, food and language of Mexico without giving it a thought.  Suddenly he moves to the upper Midwest (Northern European White dominant culture)and he struggles to fit in...  The food is too bland, the people don't express emotion, people consider me loud and effusive...  I suddenly find myself missing my culture...  And it's not the one I expected..  I feel like for years I was unaware of my unknown Latino culture..   I never realized how much a part of me was rooted in the love, warm and culture of that country 20 miles from my home.  It is possible I am a white Latino?  Probably not, but it does give me pause to think about how culture is perceived and absorbed as we grow and are nurtured as children...  Well...  I am off to listen to the latest Alejandro Sanz CD..  It's so great!

Answer 39

You have to understand the following:
Europeans are white, and within white you have olive skin, which is from the Mediterranean countries. So, if you are Portuguese, you are white, with olive skin.
North America, Central America and South America are comformed of white, black and native people and the mix of these races.
For example, since North Americans almost exterminated all Natives, there is little mixing.
In Latin America, depending on the region, you have less or more mixing. Bolivia, for example, has a majority of Native or Mixed people. On the other hand, Rio Grande do Sul (Southern Brazil) have a huge German population and some of them are not mixed.
So in Latin America, as well as in the U.S. we can find people of all colors, mixed, not mixed. The fallacy in some people's thinking is that all Hispanics/Latinos are mixed or have Native blood.
The term Latino is used to label Americans of Latin American descent. Hispanic can mean from Spain or Portugal as well as Latin America.
Hope this helps!

Answer 40

Guest4383, lol most white Latinos have little to no native blood, and most don't have any black blood...stop stereotyping...and white latinos are way hotter looking than the average fugly white American women... white American women are some of the ugliest in the world...Europeans are always commenting about how unattractive white Americans are...Latinos are hot both the men and the women...I guess when you think of a Hispanic person...you think short, fat, and dark...well most do not look like that...you need to take a look in the mirror before you make stupid comments like that!

Answer 41
