I had no intention of doing that 
I am not Hispanic and even if my mother was definitively of African descent I don’ think I would feel comfortable marking African American. In Russia I am called black, but so is anyone who is even as dark as Hispanics who is not Kazakh/Asian. In America I am just called “mixed”, Hispanic or Brown, or people just stare with a weird look on their face because they can’t figure it out.
“in the blood” I thought Hispanics were not race? I thought it was more like culture? I know that there are black Hispanics and very light skinned Hispanics? One of my classmates was a Mexican exchange student with blonde hair light skin and green eyes.
