@jym626, If it’s like the Census, nobody’s asking if people feel Germanic, or Swedish, or anything else. I know children whose families have lived in the US for generations and who identify with different parts of their cultural identity, but it doesn’t matter that they think of themselves as Italian, or English, or Scottish, or whatever; according to the US Census Bureau, their race is caucasian. Only if there’s Hispanic heritage or identity does how they classify themselves matter. But that’s an ethnicity, not a race. If it becomes classified as a race, the questions will change. Until then, anyone of any race who is raised in a Hispanic culture and/or self identifies as a Hispanic can check the box. It doesn’t take a huge amount of common sense to understand the question isn’t asking if you like traditional Hispanic food and music, but some people will ignore common sense if it works to their advantage. OP is not one of those people. S/he should check both.
