Answer 3

Are Hispanics Caucasian

Answer 4

There are only 3 races. Caucasoid, ******* and Mongoloid (a small group of scientists include a 4th, Australoid). There is no such thing as an "Indian" or "Native American". Human life is not indigenous to the Americas. What is commonly called a "Native American" is actually a Mongoloid, genetically. The Europeans that immigrated to the Americas are Caucasoid. The ******* slave trade wasn't as prevalent in Latin America, because of the use of the "natives", instead. Statistically speaking, based on a study by the Brazilian government, most self-identify as "white" (over 70%). Genetically speaking, most are a mix of Mongoloid/Caucasoid. There is a minority that adds ******* to the mix. In the United States, the Census operates on the self-identification principle (which is why Obama is only black... because he said so on his form).

Long story short, Latinos are genetically Mongoloid/Caucasoid (as are modern Russians, who no one ever denies are Caucasian). Latinos self-identify as "white", when given the opportunity on forms. This has societal implications in the United States, which is why certain political factions try hard to separate Europeans and Latinos into two separate groups by implying they are different genetic stock, so they can basically "divide and conquer". If you want to see real racism in the United States, look no further than the immigration numbers. Mexico is given 10 times the immigration awards of China, even though China has 10 times the population of Mexico. If certain political groups actually cared about promoting equality and justice, they'd talk less about Latinos, and more about Asians. They talk about Latinos because they're political opportunists, and it's politically expedient.

Answer 5

This is totally wrong, first hispanics refer to the ones who speak spanish... spanish are the people from Spain and latinos the ones who speak romance languages which come from Latin (French, Spanish; Italian, Rumanian, Portuguese).

And Caucausian is the race, which is the white one...
And in Latinamerica there are white people from european ancestry, which means latinamericans can be considered caucasians (some of them).

Answer 6

If you look at their bone structure, biologically they are indeed caucasian. Hispanic/Latino/etc. is a culture like Irish, Canadian, Russian, and on and on. It's often difficult to classify what constitutes "race". Some assume it means culture, but really what it is is a grouping of people with similar physical traits.

Answer 7

They can be of ANY race,in the U.. it just means having a parent or grandparent from a Spanish-speaking country

Answer 8

Well, Spaniards ARE caucasian. Hispanics/Latinos (Central and South Americans) were not until recently considered to be a race. I see "Latin American" as a race and a culture. We as humans like to put people in boxes. Most LA's are actually "mestizo" - a mix of races. Latin Americans are such a diverse group of people - it seems almost silly to catagorize them all as Hispanics/Latinos. Though, I don't think they view themselves as white, and most white people, I doubt, would ever consider them to be white. It is a very racist society we live in.

Answer 9

you've answered ur own question.

some latinos are white some are black some are indian...some are mixed with two out of the three....

it's a culture not a race..

Answer 10

Caucasians have to have significant decent from Europe the some parts of the middle east or south Asia. Caucasian doesnt mean white!!

Answer 11

No, they should be considered what they are already. Caucasian means a specific type which hail from very specific WHITE places, such as Norway, Finland, England, Holland, Germany, etc. There is nothing about them that has a "slightly tanned" consideration to their skin tone. When you see their bare Ar*e, it's WHITE. Their bone structure is different as well. The peoples yo speak of more closely associate with Native American people,... for a very good reason.
