Hispanic is a term used in the USA, attributed to people with a Spanish Surname. It assumes or suggests the person with such a surname has their primary ethnicity rooted in the Iberian Peninsula comprising Andorra, Portugal and Spain. In modern times this is not necessarily true as people immigrating to the Americas from these regions have been mixing races since the 16th century.

Conversely Caucasian, Negro, Oriental, and Arab is more closely tied to an ethnic type.

Indians? Same situation as Hispanics...

Ironically, Cherokee descendants of the Indian removal act recently removed Black Indians.

So, if there are....

I'm not sure what silly game you are setting up, but I'm not playing.

Steve decided to take a statement about sports from a different thread, transport it here and make it political or racist or both. When it was intended as neither. It was about golf.

This thread is an an intellectual slum, a grave yard of pragmatism. You folks outta just spend your time jacking off, it would be more productive and certainly more entertaining.
