That's honestly good to know that you as a Spanaird (and your fellows) don't identify as Hispanic.

Because I have had to work with data sets, in the US, with 'race' data, that has to be in compliance with US govt standards, and... yeah 'Hispanic' just doesn't make any sense, even when you go into the 'logic' of it.

In defense of those southern Spaniards, the US govt. can eat my white dick.

Oh I fully agree.

I've got a bit of Italian heritage, and... oh dear lord, you'll get a similar kind of nonsense happening with southern Italians / Sicillians... Italians in general weren't even considered 'white' untill... the 70s?

    Italians in general weren’t even considered ‘white’ untill… the 70s?

    Why does this just make me think of those tweets from when Luigi was arrested

    we're finally on the verge of learning once and for all if Italians are White

    And once he received terrorism charges

    The final answer on "what are Italians" is apparently "middle eastern"

    In fact, the "white" race makes no fucking sense. The term is caucasian, and it includes people from all around Europe, the middle east and north Africa.

    The "race" questionnaire has Egypt as "white", so following that logic anyone from Morocco or anywhere in Spain would also be "white". Just based on the questionnaire.

    Dunno, weird. I still don't understand why anything besides country of origin needs to be registered, though.
