Why are they considered races when both can have a variety of phenotypes ranging from white to brown to black?

they aren't they're ethnicities, but for some retarded reason people are confusing the 2 & using simplistic, lazy thinking to invalidate both by asking why it matters.

Race is just a way to indentify people. It was made up by people who had an interest in getting rid of other people. One good example was Hitler. In reality race does not really exist albeit we are all a bit difference in facial and color. The whole point of races now a days is again to give an idea of who is who. If you think of an african you automatically think black even though south africans are white and the parts of nothern africa are not as dark either. Even within each tribe each african nation is different from the other. The thing is that stereotipically speaking people usually don't intermix. If they do they only do it withing a certain region that is that region in wich they can reach. Well, this is not true of hispanics. I think hispanics are one of the few "races" that will intermix on a regular basis. By contrast look at the Hindus. You can see a hispanic couple being intermixed but a Hindu couple rarely. So, for the most part when you say a person is of a certain race then an image is conjure in your mind. Yes, it is usually a stereotipical image but more often than not that image is somewhat correct. Again except for hispanics.

because of the fact Mexico is a rustic not a race. Mexicans are a rustic not a race. The races are White, Black, pink, Yellow ir in case you like, as exemplars, Scandinavian, African, community American, chinese language. So in case you desire to declare somebody is being racist, you're able to classification your self as Hispanic. in the event that they're in specific insulting approximately Mexicans, they at the instant are not being racist, yet abusive.

Mexican's are ussually of Spanish decent with Indian mixed into them.
The whiter Mexican's probably have alot of EUROPEAN spanish in them .........while a dark brown Mexican probably is pure Indian with a little bit of Spanish.
I agree with the question asker...that guy is a GRADE A PLUS PLUS PLUS MORON>

The only people that consider either of them races are misinformed and/or uneducated. And there are plenty of "peach" colored Latinos as my son is paler than I am.

They aren't races they are ethicitys (a group of people sharing a common culture) anyone who says they are a race are idiots.

They're not considered races. Some people just confuse them for races when they are in fact ethnicity's.

I have tried calling them Latinos, Hispanic's, even calling them the country that they are from (Mexican for example) and they are all incorrect. Not sure what to call them.
