[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the history of Hispanic goes back to the Nixon administration- it was an effort to introduce a catch all that included Mexican Americans but didn’t excluded Cubans and Puerto Ricans. Someone figured out Spanish language ancestry could tie them all together and voila. European Spaniards lucked into this category which has evolved to confer victim status on all it subsumes. Oh my fellow Americans, when will we be done with this identity politics stupidity? We will never get anywhere until we do.
