Ricci sounds like an Italian name. If his family was from Italy, which was part of the Roman empire when everyone spoke Latin, doesn’t that make him “latino”?
No.
Latinos are rfom South America and are generally, but not always, of mixed racial ethnicities and of Spanish cultural background.
As a matter of fact, people from Brazil, who are ethnically very close to other South Americans are NOT considered Hispanic as they speak Portugese.
The people who created this maze of idiocy - oing back to Tricky Dick Nixon, never let loginc get in the way of good politically correct policy.
Perhaps, but then is his wife a “wise Latina?”
Also, Spaniards from Spain who are, like Italians, Caucasians and often have blonde hair and blue eyes, can take advantage of affirmative action as “Hispanics” even though very few South and Central Americans and Mexicans can be considered “Caucasian”.
Make sense?
Of course not.
But then liberalism never did.
