Race is distinctive. So far as I know, there are still 4 - Mongolian, Caucasian, American Indian, and Negroid. All have distinctive characteristics. With interRACIAL marriages, some of those are blurring/blending. Nationality is cultural/linguistic. Many see hispanics as brown skinned, speaking Spanish. But there are others who are white skinned. That is not race, that is nationality.

I don't know how many races there are (different numbers have been stated at different times) and don't care. Most people are at least somewhat homogenized by now anyway. The whole thing should be irrelevant but, the race pimps of various persuasions and their government partners-in-crime will never let it die as long as there's a dollar or advantage in perpetuating the needless mess. As far as I'm concerned, no intelligent, honest person would have much interest in the subject (with the exception of anthropologists and certain medical interests). There's no legitimate government interest. In the sense I'm talking about it here, it's absurd.

But, now we're getting an absurdity on top of an absurdity; i.e., 'Hispanic' is becoming a 'race' in the PC lexicon. This is doubly absurd because virtually every so-called 'race' I've ever heard of is included under the term 'Hispanic'. This is 'Alice-In-Wonderland' stuff. It would be humorous were it not so stupid.

And now, my real reason for all this...the rest of the story...if you can't beat 'em, join 'em...get in the game.

Low self-esteem got you down? Sick of not being an 'official' racial minority? Join the 'Buckwheats Gringos' race today. You'll definitely be in the minority then.
