>USA officially recognizes six ethnic and racial categories: White American, Black or African American, Native American and Alaska Native, Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and people of two or more races; a race called "Some other race" is also used in the census and other surveys, but is not official. The United States Census Bureau also classifies Americans as "Hispanic or Latino" and "Not Hispanic or Latino", which identifies Hispanic and Latino Americans as a racially diverse ethnicity

Literally the worst racial classification ever. First of all, according to Unitedstasians race doesn't exist but it's still used. Then, how could Arabs and T*rks be considered white? Are Kurds white too? Iranians? Afghanistan people? Pushtu? Tajik? Indian? Where is border in Asia?

What the fuck is Hispanic? Bolivians Kechua indians are the same as Spaniards from Spain and ex-NDSAP member in Chile? In which category they put Brazil mulattos or average Alberto Barbosa from Portugal? Are Basques hispanic? You are an immigrant in USA please post your country of origin and """race""" that you've got there.

They have a 18th century tier concept of ethnicity
What I don't get is how they classify pooinloos, are they counted as white or black? (or asian?)
>>

Contemporary racial categories are bullshit, especially since race is a continuum and not several arbitrary categories.
I'm not exactly sure how I would go about recording people's ethnicities but the places of origin of their ancestors would be a good start.

Hispanics are the most confusing to me. Like you could be 100% Aryan Argentinian and be put in the same category as a 30 generation pure native from Peru just because you both speak Spanish.
>>
>>55745855
Arabs, Turks, Kurds, Iranians, Afghans and North Indians are all caucasian, whether you like it or not.
If they are white is another matter, but they are caucasian.
>>
>>55746764
You see, Hispanic refers to Hispaniola which was a roman province that included Portugal so if you take it literally brazilians and portuguese are also hispanic.
>>
>>55746842
going to fix myself, actual turks (from the turkic tribes) are not caucasian but since most turks are actually mixed greeks in disguise they can be caucasian too
>>

It was called Hispania. Hispaniola (La Española) was an island.

Hello. I am Randy Bobandy.
>>
>>55746874
Not in the modern sense, Hispanics are people who come from Castillian speaking countries. So Brazilians are not hispanic. Latino is the term for people from Latin America, regardless of ethnicity. So Bryjan Pachamama from Peru, Augusto Mafiosi from Argentina, Alberto Barbosa from northern Brazil and Germano Struddelmuncher from south Brazil are all Latinos.
