That is interesting, romani.
In one place it says: “Definition of Hispanic or Latino Origin Used in the 2010 Census “Hispanic or Latino” refers to
a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.”
But in the longer explanation, it says: “OMB requires federal agencies to use a minimum of two ethnicities: Hispanic or Latino and Not Hispanic or Latino. Hispanic origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be any race.”
I find that fascinating.
