Such dumb questions.
Indeed.
Such ignorance.
Admissions should prioritize kids whose parents have never had a passport, and add a substantial global curriculum for all -- what I see now, even among the "educated" folks, is truly pathetic.Ask them about Asian history, or European, or African, or even American, and they couldn't be more clueless.

There are no dumb questions, just snarky answers.
No, Brazilians are not Hispanic, but they are Latino (or just Brazilian, as they prefer). While the vast majority have some roots in Portugal, part of Rome's Hispania, they are not considered Hispanic because they do not come from a Spanish-speaking country in Latin America or the Caribbean. But what if they have a grandparent from Argentina or Colombia? -- the mind wanders ...
And yes most Cubans are Hispanic. The one exception is Mark Cuban, who is of Eastern European heritage.
+1. Also, I have to wonder if it's the same person who has asked multiple times if Brazilians are considered Hispanic.

Most employers even give a shit about this only because the liberals keep braying about it. If not, only a fool will not hire the best and the brightest.
