The majority of Hispanic people are a mixture of races: white-black, native-white, native-black, or native-white.

∙ 12y agoType your answer here... Hispanics are considered white in the U.S. Census (among others) because, from an anthropological and medical standpoint, they share key genetic markers and skeletal measurements with 'whites'. This is because Hispanics have European ancestry (as opposed to Latinos, who have only indigenous heritage).
It has nothing to do with skin, hair, and eye color or nationality/culture as it does with genetics. of course, given that almost all questionnaires that ask for ethnicity are self-identifying, ultimately what a person considers him- or herself is up to the individual.

∙ 12y agoA spaniard is a caucasian.
A mexican is usually a mix of spanish and indian . . . the indians were originally from Asia, not caucasian.
So, you cannot generalize and say that Hispanic persons are all caucasians.
It is not correct to call caucasians 'white'. Many, including Arabic people, can be dark in complexion.

Depends on where they were born....If they are born in America then they are considered Americans, if they were born in Mexico then I believe they are considered Mexican, but the American parent has the right to petion for them to be American. I also guess it depends on where the parents live also.
