Default hispanics

One thing is for sure!! THERE ISN'T A RACE called "hispanic" cos there isn't a continent of that name.

When are people in america going to stop calling themselves and others hispanics as a race? People confuse a RACE with CULTURE. The people who are termed hispanic in america are just LATIN AMERICANS and that includes portuguese, french, italians, spanish and romanians, those are the correct names for latin race, to be specific, they all talk latin origin languages in europe. Hispanic is a new word made by north americans since the 80s for the spanish talkers, it doesn't make a race. The situation is so silly that people are really confused calling themselves hispanics as a race. We don't invent a race for people who talk english, german or russian, it seems this group goes into whites or cucasian
