Why is Jeb Bush labeling himself as hispanic on voting forms? (Mexican, school)

I guess we'll wait and see what he has to say about it.

Why are kids in K-12 allowed to change their gender because they don't identify with it ?

There's more to it than that. Many people speak several languages but they still have a native culture.

If a guy with a hispanic wife that speaks spanish fluently etc etc. wants to mark Hispanic on a box so be it.

As an actual independent instead of a pretend one (sorry Bob) this faux scandal is going to have zero impact on non-partisan voters.

People can lie about what they actually are but that doesn't make it so.

It's all about "who you identify with" at the time you fill out the form.

Isn't this new America great ? You can be whoever you want because you "identify with it" at the time you fill out the form.

That maybe that's how it works with you, but most people are not a black woman one day and white male the next. You might need a shrink if you see yourself like that.

To liberals, a man with a penis can self-identify as a woman and hang out in the ladies room without any problems at all. But a white male, fluent in Spanish, married to a Central American woman, making a mistake and checking "Hispanic" is a felony. And you wonder why we think you're all crazy.

FYI- A whole bunch of "white kids" from the burbs etc. that only know spanish from words they've seen on menus....check boxes like Hispanic for scholarships, financial aid, college admission etc. because one great-grandparent was from Mexico. Ditto for lots of other ethnicities.

And what's good for dishonest teenagers is also good for presidential candidates.
