The Virginia Department of Minority Business defines a minority individual as “an individual who is a citizen of the United States or a non-citizen who is in full compliance with United States immigration law and who satisfies one or more of the following definitions:” Here is their definition of Hispanic.

"Hispanic American” means a person having origins in any of the Spanish-speaking peoples of Mexico, South or Central America, or the Caribbean Islands or other Spanish or Portuguese cultures and who is regarded as such by the community of which this person claims to be a part."

I would say a person whose ancestors are from a Spanish speaking country, is an easy def.

Do you subscribe to a "one drop" rule in defining whether someone is Hispanic or not? How does one identify who is Hispanic?

The Democrats created the artificial category of “Hispanics” in the 1970s as a way to create another class of victims, which they could imbue with special rights and privileges, including affirmative action and minority business set asides for whites. The result is another "minority group" that votes Democrat. It doesn’t matter that, according to the Census Bureau, 51 percent of Hispanics self-identify themselves as white. The Census Bureau has even created the phony category of “non-Hispanic whites,” which are now 66 percent of the population and will be 50 percent in 2042. The reality is that “whites” will still be more than 70 percent of the population in 2042.

I asked an Hispanic panel at last year's CPAC and they had difficulty defining what an Hispanic was. One even included Filipinos.

¡Oígame, lo siento mucho, pero así es como lo es! For all practical Federal government worker purposes, such as Affirmative Action, the working definition of "Hispanic" is largely (but not completely) based on skin color. The appropriate approximate hue being that of a brown paper grocery bag, which of course, varies from store to store.

But, Chileans, Argentines, and Spaniards will find themselves automatically on the outs. Penelope Cruz, Xavier Bardem, even with a great tan? Fuggedaboutit. Oddly enough, white Cubans and Puerto Ricans are OK with the bureaucraps. Mexicans, Central Americans? No Problem. White Colombians, Venezuelans? possible problem. Bolivia? No Problem. Ecuador? No Problem. Peru? Could be a problem.

Go figure. And do bring the grocery bag.

Well when I was a kid I was taught that a Hispanic was someone whose ancestors are from a country whose primary language was derived from Latin. So I was taught that the French and Italian were also “Hispanic.” Seem that is not the case these days.

But anyway, it’s an ethnicity and not a race, so yeah most are white folks.

The funny part to me is that in Mexico, white European Spanish families are still busy screwing over the indigenous people of Mexico, and telling them it’s the US’s fault they are getting a raw deal. How they get away with that is beyond me.
