Why are Americans like this?
Filling in my Summer Term participation form
You can thank the south for making sure to specifically exclude minorities in their institutions even after it became illegal
Latino as a race is retard as fuck. I will never understand why Americans do this.
The obsession with race doesn't just apply to the right wing in America.
I don't know why they kept it separated
It's also weird as fuck that I can select more than 2 races as the same time
they do say ethnic/race...
>Italians
>European
But as far as I know, most Americans think Latino is a race. It's retard.
you're right, americans see no difference between ethinicity and race
Hispanic/Latino is not legally categorized as a race. If you select that you are Hispanic/Latino, you need to further clarify if you're White, Black, etc.
I'm not talking about Law, I'm talking about the public's perception of what means to be Latino.
>I don't know why they kept it separated
Because it's categorized as an ethnicity rather than a race.
An overwhelming number of Latinos are Mestizos. They look different from the rest of us and similar to each other. How else do you want us to see them?
Ok, I know a lot of German-Brazilians who are white as fuck and have German surnames (ex: Gisele Bünchen). They are "Latino" or "white" by the public's perception?

>she fill a form placing me as latino/hispanic
>lumping a Brazilian with the rest of Latam
Well, I don't mind that they consider us alongside with the rest of LATAM because we are very similar to them culturally and ethnically, but to say that Latino is a "race" is retarded. A Latino can be white, pardo, black, etc.
We are really not similar with Latam, specially ethnically-wise. Most of Latam are indeed mestizos, we aren't, aside from northeasterners and northerners, but they are minority.
As a Spaniard studying abroad there's nothing that triggers me more than these American surveys.
Let's agree to disagree in this one.
