When you select your race you can choose white, but it also says, white (not hispanic) Why do they think hispanics are white? Do they mean the spanish? Since they are white skinned some what. But aren't like the browner skinned souther americans, and mexicans.

Nope that's not true. If they were blond,and blue eyed they wouldn't have been hispanic.

most of the time, you are only suppose to choose one answer. so if you are hispanic, no matter where from(unless it breaks it down into specifics like latin american, central, etc), you are suppose to choose that one. some let you pick more than one. i have never seen them list "white, hispanic" so i think this should help you, if not, let me know. i will try to express what i mean better.
edit: thats not true, some true hispanics have the blond hair, blue eyes. my sister is blond and has never dyed her hair, and yes, she is my real 100% sister!

I thought only Spainards were considered white, and that hispanics with either blue eyes or blond hair received those characteristics from when the Spaniards invaded them and ....mixed with the native women.

i hope you can get this into your little head brain but there are hispanics that are, for example, blond haired and blue eyed and that definitely look like they are white, but theyre not, theyre hispanic..

I never understood that question. Either way, I no longer answer the race question on applications.

Only Whites can be Hispanic in my eyes.
Mestizos and mulattos are inferior mongrels and shouldn't be classified as Spanish.
