[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guyana is a country, not a race. As with most countries, there are people from Guyana of many races. So they would check the race that they are, whether Asian, black or multiracial.

The Census Bureau refers to culture or country of origin when defining Hispanic.[/quote] We know lots of folks with Caribbean origin/background who pick Hispanic as ethnicity. I’m essays, talk about their family from such such a country - even if they speak no Spanish… It definitely helps. Also helps if you can be in the Hispanic scholar recognition program which doesn’t have strict rules (just start picking it on all forms in schools asap). There are many Hispanic Asians (and Wikipedia indicates that many Indo Caribbean are considered Asian Latin Americans and Hispanic)….[/quote]
