[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m trying to understand why anyone would think Giselle B isn’t Hispanic just because she’s white. Are Afro Caribbean Hispanics now less Hispanic too? This is ridiculous. Hispanic refers to a culture and it doesn’t matter what color you are, you’re either part of that culture or you’re not. [/quote] +1. [b] I think OP is the typical American racist who truly can't understand why others are not as racist as he is.[/b] [/quote] OP here. I am not racist nor did I ever question whether Giselle is Hispanic. I know that Hispanic refers to culture and that Whites, Blacks, and Mestizos can all be considered Hispanic. But in practicality the term is often used as a racial category. You will hear people describe a Mexican's race as being Hispanic, even though that is not accurate because Hispanic is not a race. What is commonly thought of as looking Hispanic is in actuality Mestizo. So why isn't the phrase in use?[/quote]
