None that I know would consider that that term describes them, neither do I. And I'm from Spain, so I know quite a bit of Spaniards.
The word hispanic is used in "hispanohablante", which is a word to describe countries or communities that speak Spanish outside of Spain, naturally.
However, when talking about "hispanohablante" (spanish speaking) communities in Europe for example, the term doesn't distinguish between South Americans or Spaniards, so idk. It's just weird to think of us as Spanish speaking people, we are in Spain, of course we speak Spanish. Duh.
That's honestly good to know that you as a Spanaird (and your fellows) don't identify as Hispanic.
Because I have had to work with data sets, in the US, with 'race' data, that has to be in compliance with US govt standards, and... yeah 'Hispanic' just doesn't make any sense, even when you go into the 'logic' of it.
Oh I fully agree.
I've got a bit of Italian heritage, and... oh dear lord, you'll get a similar kind of nonsense happening with southern Italians / Sicillians... Italians in general weren't even considered 'white' untill... the 70s?
Why does this just make me think of those tweets from when Luigi was arrested
And once he received terrorism charges
In fact, the "white" race makes no fucking sense. The term is caucasian, and it includes people from all around Europe, the middle east and north Africa.
The "race" questionnaire has Egypt as "white", so following that logic anyone from Morocco or anywhere in Spain would also be "white". Just based on the questionnaire.
Dunno, weird. I still don't understand why anything besides country of origin needs to be registered, though.
