I am white as milk from a Latin America country I dont know what I am suppose to complete. I consider myself latin but companies may think I am not brown enough to fit the category.
- Invictus0 5y agoThat form is mandated by the government, not the company. Anyone with a Spanish speaking heritage is considered to be hispanic.
- lunfard00 5y agooh that is nice to know, thanks
- iammisc 5y agoSo Brazilians aren't Hispanic?
- xdennis 5y agoYes. Hispanic refers to Spanish language and culture.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoBrazilians mostly speak Portuguese... (I don't know if that leaves them considered "Hispanic" or not. I think it does leave them considered Latin, though.)
- xdennis 5y agoThe problem is that the terms are often not understood correctly or confused. Hispanic, indeed, refers to Spanish speakers... of any race. It includes, for example, Spaniards and some Filipinos. But GP didn't say Hispanic. He was referring to Latin America, whose people are called Latino. Neither of the terms carry racial connotations. If you're Argentinian of pure Italian descent, you're still Latino. If you're one of the 2 million Spanish speakers of the Philippines, you're Hispanic. If you're one of the Guarani indigenous languages speakers of Paraguay who doesn't speak Spanish at all you're still Latino but not Hispanic.
