[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do other kids pick on your DD because she is white? [/quote]

OP already clarified that many of her DDs classmates are actually as white as she is. Main different is that they speak Spanish while being white. Go figure.[/quote]

Not again...[/quote]

This PP hews strictly to the 2000 census definitions of race and ethnicity, lol.  Somehow I doubt that OP's school is full of white-identified Hispanics. [b] But who knows, maybe there is a heretofore [b]unknown pocket of Spaniards[/b] in some Title I school somewhere in DCPS.[/b] [/quote]

What a display of ignorance. The majority of US-born Hispanics identify themselves as white. The majority of Latin American-born Hispanics identify themselves as white.

Number 2 self-identification, for both cases, is white mixed with indigenous (called "mestizo" in Spanish).

All of which explains why close to Hispanic person would ever "pick on your DD because she is white."

Someone here needs to actually talk to a few more Hispanics/ Latinos. We are not figments of your little imagination. 55 million and counting![/quote]

Previous PP is clueless.  Apparently in her view, Hispanics is some silly new word the kids use."[/quote]

Funnier, she apparently thinks that white Hispanics is a synonym for Spaniards.

I hope her kids will end up a bit more enlightened.
