  1. In the United States of America today when we say Whites we mean all of the people whose origin is Europe, also known as Caucasians. As for the U.S. Census Bureau then and now they are subject to pressures of the various non-European groups. The so called Hispanics who are not Hispanics at all (the real Hispanics are Spaniards and Portuguese) having no defined identity pressured the Census Bureau into allowing the Hispanic/Latino classification as their Ethnic identification. This is wrong and not supported by history yet as they want to be called that way the Census Bureau allowed this classification to become standard and exclusive for the Spanish-speaking people of the Americas. Did the Census Bureau make any inquiry about the real meaning of Hispanic/Latino before adopting it? Absolutely not. Yes it is still there listed as belonging to a group of people who have no idea of what being Hispanic and Latino means. Hispanic coming from Roman Hispania (Spain and Portugal and Latino ("Latino" grammatically incorrect in English-Correct way is LATIN/LATINS) is the language spoken by the Romans and their culture. and that Latin means one thing and Latin American means another. So we cannot really follow the descriptions by the U.S. Census Bureau because that office is subject to group pressure in establishing the various denominations.

  3. Latino/Latin is not a Look, not a Skin Color, not a Mestizo Skin Color. Latino/Latin is a language and a culture.,all Roman.
