For me (a Hispanic) it's odd to see any race categorization at all, it seems like an obsession for both right and left wings in the US. Why does it matter so much? White and Hispanic is not mutually exclusive in a lot of cases, the same for Black and Hispanic or Native American and Hispanic, in most cases it's difficult to even set a race tag.
- sgt 8y agoRace used by statistics and government is of course a simplification, so if you have to do it, you kinda need to embrace the simplicity of it. Personally I think the term caucasian works well. Jewish has of course a historic racial component, but practically (again, the simplicity) is more like an identity such as "hispanic". So if you are white hispanic, you're white. If you are jewish, you are white. If you're a black hispanic, you tick the box for black.
