Changing ethnicity to hispanic?

[entomom]

<p>

The US Census considers you to be Hispanic if you say you are.</p>

<p>The US Dept. of Education considers you to be Hispanic if you say you are.</p>

<p>In both of those cases, forms are designed to let you mark Y/N for Hispanic Ethnicity and then any choice of a number of individual racial identities (or even multiple racial identities).

</p>

<p>Yes, this is what is stated in the sticky thread the OP was referred to in post #12. </p>

<p>

For every organization other than the CB, if you consider yourself to be Hispanic you are Hispanic. Just exactly how the CB is going to determine who is and who isn’t “Hispanic Enough”, is beyond me.

<p>NHRP is not the only scholarship organization to require the applicant be a minimum amount Hispanic to qualify:</p>

<p>Hispanic Scholarship Fund:</p>

<p>

You or your family (parents, grandparents) must be descended from at least one of the following countries

</p>

<p>Hispanic Heritage Awards:</p>

<p>[Hispanic</a> Heritage Awards](<a href=“http://www.hispanicheritage.org/youth_faq.php]Hispanic”>http://www.hispanicheritage.org/youth_faq.php)</p>

<p>

To participate in the Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards you must be:</p>

<ol>
<li>Of Hispanic/Latino descent (at least one parent)

</li>
</ol>

<p>For NHRP, the HS GC must sign off that a student fits the Hispanic requirement. That is why families should be sure to designate Hispanic on school registrations. Of course given the nature of Hispanic ethnicity, it could be very difficult to prove or disprove percentage of Hispanic heritage, and like many things it comes down to honesty.</p>
