“If white people are capable of getting photo ID, Hispanics are.”

What color (skin) is a “Hispanic?”

Just a curious question I am posing.

It’s a good question, one I get a lot because I’m too lazy and disinterested to try and categorize everyone of Hispanic heritage from across the border, or from Cuba, or Puerto Rico..., as whatever Indian tribe, or Spanish mix, or black, Indian, Irish, Spanish mix. I could get even lazier, and just say Mexican, but that would be incorrect also, so normally, when I say Hispanic, I mean someone of Spanish speaking heritage, who also has ancestors who spoke or speak an Indian language, probably some version of Aztec. Latino, of course, is popular, but I don’t know what the difference is between Latino or Hispanic, other than Hispanics in my neck of the woods prefer the term Hispanic. Most of the Hispanics that I know, and that is pretty much everyone that I know, are much darker complexioned than I am, including family members, though not all of my grandkids, and they usually call themselves Hispanic, rather than white. But I suspect you knew what I meant before you asked.
