Hispanic identity, in the eyes of the U.S. Census Bureau, is not a question of race. It's a categorization that they've taken to using for whatever purpose. The WSJ is merely using the available data and qualifying it in the same way that the Census does. In short, race is a drop-down selection menu, while "Hispanic?" is a separate y/n question, with certain sub-groupings. How does the WSJ presentation of the information amount to cheating? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic#Definitions_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic#Definitions_in_the_Un... Relevant 2010 Census questions: Is Person 1 of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin? (checkboxes for: "No", and several for "Yes" which specify groups of countries) What is Person 1's race? (checkboxes for 14 including "other". One possibility was "Black, African Am., or Negro".)
