Because ethnicity and race as much as we say other wise, does predicate a lot of things. If you know someone's race and ethnicity, you can more than likely peg what language they may speak, what country they are from, what religion they might follow, and a whole slew of other culturally *important* details for *any* government. Need I also remind you that certain races are more susceptible to certain medical conditions. (Sickle cell disease for example among other things.) so aggregation of this data is also *objectively* useful. Most other animals around our size bleed red too and share over 90% of our DNA....Does that mean what's good for the goose is also good for the human? I'm sorry for being cynical, but your just spouting a platitude that is simply not true... There doesn't have to be some nefarious purpose behind why this is done. More streamlined, categorized data is always good, and like it or not, race and ethnicity still differentiates us culturally and medically *enough* to make differences for both fields... If we humanity ever unite under one banner, with an overarching mono culture, and with most people being racially mixed, then *SURE* it won't really matter. But that is not the case today, won't be the case this century, nor probably the next. Hell, if we ever start populating other planets, then our evolution as a species will likely diverge depending on the planet and local environment, so in the far future, we might potentially split off to many degrees evolutionary speaking...I don't foresee a Star Trek Future in all honesty...

Of course we're Native American, just detribalized because of race mixing and adopting the latin culture and language.

I think the person responsible for this “Latinx” headline suffers from the most confusion

Catalina and her daughter are both white racially and Hispanic ethnically. It's not that complicated... Dr. Cristobal can put mixed (between indigenous and white) on the census, but he also leans ever so slightly on the white side racially, so he could put either or really. (IMO) He's def not purely or even majority indigenous though... I think part of this issue stems from the fact that *Traditionally* in America, "White" was actually shorthand for people of Anglo-Saxon lineage, and much later German, Central European, and or Eastern European origin in the early 20th century. More European/lighter skinned looking Hispanics obviously have more Iberian (Spanish) blood in them, and are thus technically "white" according to the US government. I'm ethnically Mexican, but very light skinned and with mostly European features. Most people who don't hear my last name have fun trying to come up with my racial origins. I have been mistook for Spanish, French, Italian, Jewish, Iranian, Turkish and of course all other Latin nations, but never gotten pegged as purely or mostly indigenous for sure, and thus I put white for race, and Hispanic for ethnicity. If the term "white" is too distasteful for the people in this videos (not trying to assume anything, but it looks to me like they don't want to be called white for "reasons" I won't touch upon) then either say your mixed racially, mention your country of ethnic origin, and or make peace with the fact that you may have mostly Iberian (European) blood in you and are thus technically "White". AND THAT'S OKAY.... Stop being so damn weird about it...

I could point you to plenty of COMMISSIONED HISPANIC OFFICERS pre 1960s in REGULAR ARMY UNITS. It's one thing that Hispanics could enlist in regular military units, but to also let them be commissioned officers in charge of other white people showed they didn't really look down on Hispanics that were educated and talked fluent English. Also, Tejano culture is a thing, (as is much other culture from the Southwest US) How would such a sub subculture evolve and flourish if Hispanics weren't allowed to be free citizens in America? Also, why is it that Hispanics were often (and still are lumped with anglos) as "white" when it comes to criminal statistics, their birth certificates, the census, etc... As long as a Hispanic person could speak fluent English and wasn't fervently patriotic of their nation of origin while living here, they weren't as discriminated against as blacks or Asians. If they also looked mostly white like the people in this video, they were treated like any other white American. You may have some points here and there, but you also are omitting clear examples of successful Hispanic citizens pre 1960s The racism against Hispanic Americans isn't as clear cut like it was with blacks or Asians pre 1960s and there was A LOT OF NUANCE involved.

I don't know, I just put Hispanic/Latino (Mexican) for ethnicity and Other (Mestizo.)

As a Mexican American woman my racial self identification has evolved as I learn more. I always knew I was "Mestiza" so I would list myself as "Hispanic/Latino" in the ethnicity category and for the race category I'd list "mixed" or "prefer not to answer". After taking a 23&Me test my results came back as 60% Native American (Mainly North American). Just seeing it there, clear and simple, it was quite eye opening. 60% is rather substantial and I felt it only right to explicitly list my native American ancestry. So for the 2020 census I list myself as "native American" and "white" to indicate my mixture. And when it prompted me to list my native American tribe I wrote "unknown". Since the census, I've been working on my family tree during my free time to learn more about my ancestry. Based on the regions I've found my lineage, I'll start to list my Native American "tribe" as Nahua instead of "unknown".

Let me help you with this situation. The following is how I have broken this whole thing down and I am HISPANIC which I will elaborate on momentarily. HISPANICS - Are all those who's physical phenotypes look European aka WHITE EUROPEAN LOOKING PEOPLE of Europe and speak 1 or more of the romance languages such as French, Portuguese, Italian or Spanish 🇪🇸! Castizos and Criollos are considered HISPANICS not Latinos because they are more WHITE European phenotype. LATINOS - Are all people who have mixed blood like mestizos downwards like the castas system specifies (please see the system of Castas for reference to elaborate on specific mixing of bloods/DNA). Under this definition CHICANO, Asian, INDIGENOUS PEOPLE/BROWN people including middle Easterns and all NEGRO/blacks who happen to speak 1 or more of the romance languages such as French, Portuguese, Italian or Spanish are what you call LATINOS! Make sense if not please let me know why?

Anyone who says that Cubans living in the U.S. are 80% African, clearly knows nothing about Cubans.

It doesn't have to be so confusing. Language is a big component when identifying groups. A girl from Manila, who, let's say, speaks Spanish, can identify as "Latina" or "Latin," and who'd argue with her? And let's say that she moved to New York and blended in with the Boricua community. It would "fly." And let's say that a Celtic Spaniard woman said that she was white Latin. There it goes... Do we have Americans who are black and white? Obviously.

The problem is we are using racial categories that were flawed in the first place to categorize people into boxes. The first problem is the words white and black to define people. These are not terms used in other languages and are unique to the evolution of the English language in the United States of America. As an example, in Spanish (Castilian), the term used more often used traditionally for a dark-skinned person Moreno (literally Moorish). This shows how words evolved from the shared experiences of one group of people and passed on through its history. The term Moreno or morisco historically correlates with the Muslims in and neighboring the Iberian peninsula. The word was brought to Ibero-America, where Spanish/Portuguese /French speaking (Latin/Latino -Romance language speaking and cultures) was used to describe physical characteristics. To keep this brief. Latin America (Romance/Roman/Latin language and culture) is the region in the Americas that had contact with Europeans (Mediterranean) first and the longest. It is common knowledge of the mixture in Latin America, with European (Iberian) being the dominant culture. Cultural and genetic, European is the most significant component, mind you that here we must emphasize the difference in the thought of the view in Inero America from Anglo America. In the USA, a person is considered white if he is believed to have 100% European ancestry. In Latin America, a person is not denied his European heritage if he is of mixed heritage. So if you acknowledge that mixed-race people who have European ancestors don't lose their European component, then Latin America does indeed have the most significant element of people, with some percentage of European ancestry. Regarding culture, that is, language, law, education, business, lifestyle, religion, etc., The confusion about what Latin is (Latinx is not an accurate word as a gender-neutral word exists in the English language) is on the origins of its people(in the USA, they call it race). Anthropologists could easily answer this and not politicians. In Ibero-America, there was an ancestral cast system that was never fully embraced. It differs from the USA racial categories. In the USA, the white, Black, Native American (only if affiliated with a recognized drive), Asian, and Pacific Islander concepts are still used. In Ibero-America, it was Europen, Mestizo, Castizo, Mulato, Morisco, Indio, and way more complex. In the end, the difference is that in the Afro-American system, a person gave their children different labels and moved up and down (helped with money) from none European to European. Mix heritage has been part of the region's history since the first Iberian Europeans made contact and had children with pre-European women. In the USA, there was no change from the white, black, and Indian imposed labels. Today, mixed people are not counted in the census. One thing I find odd about the USA census is the word white and caucasian, as well as black and color designations. Even do constancy segregates society into such identified will only lead society to the same ethnic conflicts found in southeast and Europe and Western Asia (Asia minor and middle East). A better terminology would be European instead or white. I also had the experience of traveling to Eastern Europe, where the term caucasian means a person from the caucasian mountain regions, which made me. Realize the term is used wrong in the USA as the caucasian mountains (Chechen, Dagestani, Azerbaijans,etc.)are not in Europe, and the people there presently predominantly Muslim and have their own history and traditions, which have little to nothing to do with Europe. Same for Africa. Instead of Black. Referring to a region instead of a color concept would be a more educated use of language. Lastly, Ibero-America is and has been more diverse than the USA in the amounts of immigration over centuries of people coming from Europe, Asia, and Africa which came into contact with pre-European cultures and over time shaped the history and admixtured of people till this day. Latin Americans are people of diverse backgrounds, with the majority having a significant European component with admixtures with other people from pre-European, African, and Asian elements. I don't think we need labels at all because such identities will only segregate people. It is a waste of time to continue to make new racial categories instead of unifying people as one nationality. Skin color is just a physical characteristic and language and traditions are culture. As long as it doesn't divide people, then it can be acknowledged but too much emphasis on segregating people will lead us to tribalism.

Technically same could be argued about all groups of people.

So what is a brown skin Mexican

Latinos with brown skin are just indigenous or mixed Indigenous with European. The lighter your skin, the more white European blood you have. In the census, just combine the Native American category box with Indigenous from Central/South America.

Yes in the American Indian and Native box it says "Aztec" which isn't necessarily a tribe in Mexico the US just doesn't have the time to identify each individual Native group they can barely do it in the United States why many people are still not federally recognized here. Also the guy saying "most Mexicans are mixed with Spanish" that is not true because even when Spain came not everyone was from a Spanish bloodline not even the Hapsburgs or Visigoths, and even Moors or Muslim are Spanish but they ruled Spain longer than any Iberian Natives hell the Latin Romans gave them their identity. If your family comes from New Spain more than likely they were Muslim converted into Christian meaning they were a foreigner to Spain prior.

I struggle with that problem when it comes the time to identify myself in a box in a paper, that I dont fix in , It bothers me a lot actually because also when you heard the news they just speak about two main groups of people Whites and Blacks, they fight each other and compite all the time, white lives matters , black lives matters …. Da da da da …They never care for others than them, those two never seems us as equal in to participate as politicians or nation matters, like if they were the only color and 2 races in the United States, I mean you right, what is wrong with the people in charge doing this decisions ? how they represent and see us that is the problem,see us as untalented people and thats the reason why it bothers me. I believe they put us in unidentify box as punishment that still There is a lot resent against us for many reasons in history of wars back in the 1800’s. It’s sad…

I personally feel like Hispanic should be considered a race on paperwork, cause like I get how hispanic/latino people can be white, or brown, or black, but like Asian people also come in many different forms. For example, a Middle Eastern Asian vs a North Eastern Asian, yet they still get their own box to check off on race. I personally check off the white box since I have a lighter complexion, but like I'm sure nobody would look at me and think, yeah she's white.

@@cseijifja It depends on the type of Hispanic/Latino you’re talking about. I am just gonna assume Mexican. People of Mexican decent USUALLY come from Spanish (Spaniard)/Native descent. These are “mestizos” which basically just means European/Native descent. You’re right not ALL but majority are. Not many people are that educated on this specific topic that’s why removing Hispanic/Latino is confusing for something like this because they don’t relate to being native nor white/European. It’s easier for Dominicans or Puerto Ricans cause they usually would be identifying themselves with black but not all.

Let me help you with this situation. The following is how I have broken this whole thing down and I am HISPANIC which I will elaborate on momentarily. HISPANICS - Are all those who's physical phenotypes look European aka WHITE EUROPEAN LOOKING PEOPLE of Europe and speak 1 or more of the romance languages such as French, Portuguese, Italian or Spanish 🇪🇸! Castizos and Criollos are considered HISPANICS not Latinos because they are more WHITE European phenotype. LATINOS - Are all people who have mixed blood like mestizos downwards like the castas system specifies (please see the system of Castas for reference to elaborate on specific mixing of bloods/DNA). Under this definition CHICANO, Asian, INDIGENOUS PEOPLE/BROWN people including middle Easterns and all NEGRO/blacks who happen to speak 1 or more of the romance languages such as French, Portuguese, Italian or Spanish are what you call LATINOS!

It's not that simple... within one Latin American family you can have very pale white skinned people and very tanned, "brown" people as well, with either really high European ancestry, or a high mixed/indigenous one, even if they share the same blood. It's a complex genetic makeup, and it's extremely diverse throughout Latin America. I think the biggest point here is... it's only in the US that they insist so much in classifying people on their race

US american obsession with classifying people into « racial boxes » is meaningless. Why do they do this ? This is so absurd when they confuse nationalities or ethnicites as racial/genetic categories, using wrong labels… Both hispanic and latin concepts refers to linguistic-cultural groupings, not with race, genetics nor geographical origins. Hispanic means being of a spanish-speaking culture, and latin means being from a latin (you say romance in english) culture. That’s it. Nothing to do with skin color or how you look. Latin does not relates to latin-America either. It refers to the countries of romance language. Who inheritated their culture after the roman empire, Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, Romania…. It is only with colonization from these countries that people of the central and southern parts of the Americas became latin too.

When it comes to skin color we are all some shade of brown. As far as blond hair and blue eyes are considered most whites have neither of those two traits. And lots of non- whites have blue eyes. There are no genes or sets of genes that all members of one so called "race" have in common with one another and at the same time are absent in everyone of a different race. This is why there is no DNA test for determining a person's race.
