You've got it right. Essentially, they want to distinguish the European Hispanics (wealthier, more affluent) from the Latin American (poorer, less educated) ones. Can you see the bigotry in that? Sad.

I'm sure its confusing because America treats Hispanic as both a racial category and not one. On one level, Hispanic refers to any person regardless of race from a spanish speaking country, therefore many have african, indian and european blood. But on the other, there is an image in ones head of what one considers a typical hispanic person, there are those whose ancestors are mostly European and from Spain, and others who are basically the conglomeration of the conqurered peoples.

i don't know why that's this manner yet in accordance to the U. S. census, you'd be seen a white Latino (you would examine 2 packing bins). Latino is to recommend you're of any Latin historic previous and Hispanic is only spanish. White may basically be because of color of your epidermis (in the U. S., epidermis color = race). this does no longer make any experience inspite of the actuality that reason they use this garbage to make generalizations and consider on the country. yet as you and that i both know, there's a distinction between Spaniards and Puerto Ricans lol As you likely know inspite of the actuality that, there's a distinction between conversational ethnic questions and the finished "examine the field" stuff. Telling an American that you're Portuguese, they are going to easily take it as "oh, that's his nationality". Telling a Latino, or truly everyone that could no longer from an anglo-depending way of existence (like England and the U. S.), they are going to take it as your race. All of this stuff is basically social construct. there is not any technology in the back of any "racial" stuff.
