What does the US census describe as “Hispanic” and is America becoming “brown”?
I’ll answer both separately. The term ”Hispanic” means you are born in a Spanish speaking country. Or your descendants are. It’s irrelevant to race. It’s also irrelevant to ethnicity, although the U.S. Census claims it is. In between 1970 and 2000, they claimed it to be a race but took that away. They’ll eventually take away that it’s an ethnicity. It’s not hard to understand why either. People in Haiti and France speak the same language. Does that mean everyone in those two countries are apart of the same ethnicity? Latin America’s one of the most diverse regions in the world. It’s more ethnically diverse than the U.S. A lot of countries like Cuba or Puerto Rico have such little indigenous ancestry and are a mix of white, black and mulatto. Meanwhile, countries like Mexico and Guatemala have little African ancestry and primarily Meztiso. How are these countries ethnically relevant to one another besides language? What you need to understand is that Latin American’s don’t all conjoin
