The validity of your argument notwithstanding, “Hispanic/Latino” is an ETHNIC group; not a race. That ethnic group, like most others, contains individuals of different races.

On the other hand, there is a racial subgroup of South American/Mestizo background that is by appearance—and for any potential discrimination based on appearance—what would commonly be called Hispanic or Latino as well.

Maybe so. Seems like some very convenient hair-splitting by the government at just the right time the achieve a desired result.

To be honest, the first thing that occurred to me was “I wonder what everyone’s Hispanic/Latino friends would say when asked if they are White?”.

You are correct. But that is not how it is used in government and institutional classifications. Hispanic is called a “race” in idenitification.

Why? Because Liberals wanted to divide them from whitey in the hate and blame whitey diversity power effort. Hispanic Christians have more in common culturally with whites in the US than they do with Blacks. Liberals wanted to isloate them from whites so they made them into an invented race tribe.
