but the reason it says other white is because latinos are white.

Re: Caucasian: the \'Other\' white meat
 

So... with the US demographics getting more and more latino, is the US getting more and more white? Am I not going to be in the minority in 2020 after all?

Re: Caucasian: the \'Other\' white meat
 

This thread has potential.

Personally, in all the surveys that I have completed (school, government, etc.) "White" and "Latino/Hispanic" were always two seperate options.

Re: Caucasian: the \'Other\' white meat
 

Is it racist to think of Latinos and Whites as separate categories? I mean, I don't really picture redhead or blonde latinos in my head that often.

Then again, I don't picture blonde irish people either, and they meet my definition of white

Re: Caucasian: the \'Other\' white meat
 

Heh I've worked in offices where EVERY latina was a red-head.

Curse you, Lucy Ricardo!

If it makes you feel better I remember answering the 2000 census when the dude came. I said I was latino and he said that was white and checked the box for white (latino) or something like that. There was also a white (non-latino) box as well.

So West Side Story is really about a bunch of inner-city white people?

Re: Caucasian: the \'Other\' white meat
 

Best I can come up with in a pinch. 2000 census below.:

[ QUOTE ]
# 75.1% of respondents said they were White or Caucasian and no other race;
# 21.36% (60 Million Americans) are of German descent; German-Americans
# 12.3% are of Black or African-American descent;
# Hispanics - who may belong to any race - accounted for 12.5% of the U.S. population, up from 9% in 1990;
# 3.6% of respondents are Asian;

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess it said Hispanic, not latino. Also, I should've clarified that Hispanics are white comment I made before. They are usually white. There are black Hispanics as well though, as well as from theoretically any race.

Edit: This is better:

Those are the only races on the US Census. No Hispanic/Latino.

Is Jewish a race?

Hmm. I fail to see why you would think that it would make me feel better (or worse), but whatever.

As for the 2000 census, was this in the state of California or somewhere else?
