Are hispanics white?(srs question)

[SOPAbrah]

knew a Cuban family down the street. knew all the siblings separately and didn't know they were related until the brother my age invited me over to hang out one day, srs.

older brother looked like Eminem, younger brother almost my complexion with gold teeth and was a Latin King, little sister looked latin but wasn't dark at all.

half siblings, i bet
ive seen some big differences between hispanic siblings, but never that big, lol.

No they're not. Do they have white skin? no, they have tanned skin.

Racist son of a bitch.


And NO Italians are NOT white! Do we really have to go through this again, misc? Is that why my grandfather is as dark as a lot of black people? Is that why these guys are full blooded Italian?




Italian people are similar to Hispanics in that they are a mix of races. Yes the VERY northern ones are considered full white Europeans, but south of Rome none of them are what I would consider to be a white person. I know it's a movie, but this should clear things up for a lot of you...

negged both of you for disgracing my own blood. go to hell both of you *******s.

AND SICILIANS ARE NOT WHITE SICILY IS AN ISLAND IN THE MEDITERRANEAN OF SEPARATE PEOPLE SEPARATE GENES AND SEPARATE INVADERS.

I never fuked anybody over in my life didn't have it coming to them. You got that? All I have in this world is my blood and my word and I don't break them for no one. Do you understand? That piece of sht up there, I never liked him, I never trusted him. For all I know he had me set up and had my friend Angel Fernandez killed. But that's history. I'm here, he's not. GO TO HELL!

Seems to me Americans sometimes have odd views on European race. Try going to a Lazio match (in Rome) and telling those Italians they're not white- you will die. An American friend asked me if the Spanish are white... hilarious.

These are examples of white people with tans

[Studskies]

Im Colombian and i can confirm i am tanned

[aloshan]

However, by then the genetic diversity had progressed, and enough Moorish blood had mixed with the white European Iberians.

Nope, there's minimal African haplogroup representation in Spaniards. Like maybe 2% in Southern Spain.

edit: What Molec said.

No they're not. Do they have white skin? no, they have tanned skin.

You realise English people are mostly Iberian, not 'Anglo-Saxon' right?

[reyes12]

I'm puertorican and I classify myself as white. (Most of my ancestors are from spain, I'm like 85% spanish, 10% native puertorican and 5% something else, maybe african?)

[Scorer]

One has European heritage, the other doesnt. Thats the major difference here.

Another social, artificial construct

How is where someone comes from an artificial construct? You make it sound as though someone's genetic lineage is make believe.

Word? If you say so. Well my grandparents are from Sicily so thanks for making my point. I'm half-white and half-Italian. That's what I consider myself to be. When I filled out the census form in 2010, I marked mixed race. That's how I identify myself, deal with it.

F*ck those northern Italian wops. My ass I'll die. Maybe in Europe everybody wants to be a white boy even if they have black and Arab blood, but what I'm saying is that here on the streets of most US cities, and in Rochester we consider Puerto Rican and Italian people to be of a separate race than whites.

Edit: Reyes12, what's good brotha? Didn't even see you were from the Roc son!! 585 get live all day, ya heard. Repped you.

[TalkinFist]

The term is more broadly used to refer to the culture, peoples, or nations with a historical link to Spain, especially those countries which were once colonized by Spain, particularly the countries of Latin America which were colonized by Spain. mostly Spanish ancestry mixed with african and indians hence the name mulatto, or as we call our selves criollo at least thats here in Puerto Rico (P.R)

so u post 2 dark skinned white italians and try to pass it off as all italians south of rome aren't white?

ok then, how about Ignazio Abate, full blooded italian footballer from south italy?



Or what about Claudio Marchisio? He also plays football

[whitemexibrah]

I'm 100% mexican and i'm white. around 20% of mexico's population is white

[iamatwink]

why do you guys care so much?? it is not necessary to always put people in specific boxes

[TheAdlerian]

Technically Hispanics are of Spanish descent and Spain is in Europe. And Spanish people look generically white to me. But how come Hispanics try to classify their own race(to gain government benefits)?

I always though hispanics were white, but then my Puerto Rican friend was telling me different. Dude has brown hair and green eyes. I are confused

It depends.

But, there's a massive history of racism anywhere the Spanish used to rule that its driven the culture insane. Many still have the "one drop" rule in mind and they can be Spanish looking but think they aren't white because of some tiny Native American genes they may have. Meanwhile, people who look extremely Native American will be considered "Mexican" or whatever, which isn't anything but the name of a country.

It's just confusion, kind of about nothing. Most Hispanic people are very calm and pleasant and two minutes after I meet them whatever they look like fades away.
