[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dilemma is some people are simply identifying their background per the question being asked but the categories aren't very nuanced. If you are Hispanic and pass for white you my never face discrimination while if you are of African descent and Hispanic you may face the same sterotypes as AA's. There's a question of wealth, of culture and of appearance all interacting in one classification.[/quote] If you look white but speak English with a pronounced accent and have a Garcia last name, you bet you can be discriminated. It's not all about skin color, folks.[/quote] And if you don't have a pronounced accent? I know plenty, plenty, plenty Hispanics that no one has a clue they are Hispanic. Also, I don't walk around the world with my last name taped to my back, so 99% that wouldn't even come into play.[/quote]
