Yes but please get a black PM, as we have had a 2 term black President, and now we have a black female Vice President. We are also the same country that elected Trump, so we can go the other way as well. That is the true greatness of America.
We don't elect people based on the colour of their skin! A fine example here of what I'm talking about! Everything in the US has to have something to do with peoples race.
There's a huge difference between ethnicity and race. You keep trying to lump them together and then argue about it. That's what's twisting people up inside. You don't seem to be able to tell the difference when other people can easily.
Even in this post, you're still trying to lump the two concepts together.
No I don't - I simply said that in the US 'Hispanic' is treated as a separate IDENTITY (see I've tried using a different word) than other 'white' (or black etc) people!! Like on the lists you (and some other US posters) provided! For example Jennifer Lopez is simply 'white' in Europe. Therefore the comparisons are apples to oranges! Why oh why are you guys getting so 'twisted up inside' over this!?
What has this got to do with anything? Again I'm guessing US would count somebody you call 'Hispanic' and somebody you'd call 'white' as an 'interracial relationship? Of course that's not the case here or anywhere else.
Race/Ethnicity whatever, the fact is (they) have been listed separately from other 'white' (or black or whatever) people on the lists you (and others) gave earlier in this thread whereas in Europe they wouldn't. THAT is all I'm saying, I haven't accused anybody of 'forcing' anybody, I haven't accused anything, I'm simply pointing out that the lists you (and others) produced had 'Hispanic' separately listed from other 'white' (or black or whatever) people, in Europe 'Hispanic' isn't a race/ethnicity (whatever), race permutates in the US more so than in Europe, why its twisting people up inside I really don't know.
Why can't you just accept that different categories exist and let it go?
You've restated your position ad nauseum, you're not adding anything to the debate. You're entitled to your opinion, just don't expect others to adopt it.

No, it wouldn't. Hispanic and white is not interracial, THAT'S THE POINT we have all been trying to make! You're just making things up because you've never been to the US and have no idea what it's really like; you even admit you're just guessing. It would take two seconds to look this up:
Quote:
These statistics do not take into account the mixing of ancestries within the same "race"; e.g. a marriage involving Indian and Japanese ancestries would not be classified as interracial due to the Census regarding both as the same category. Likewise, since Hispanic is not a race but an ethnicity, Hispanic marriages with non-Hispanics are not registered as interracial if both partners are of the same race (i.e. a Black Hispanic marrying a non-Hispanic Black partner).
So how about stopping now because you're clearly close-minded about this topic, and all the people who actually live here and are trying to give you information are just wasting their time.

WHERE exactly did I say 'others' have to adopt to anything!? I simply stated that the lists given had 'Hispanic' as a separate IDENTITY which is not the case elsewhere, here these people will simply be classed as 'white' (or black or whatever), I then gave Jennifer Lopez and that film as an example as to the differences. The premise of the film doesn't make sense 'over here' because of it. BUT nowhere have I suggested that I 'expect others to adopt it'!! THE point I'm making is that the 'lists' aren't comparable because of 'said' differences THAT'S ALL! However for some reason 'some' people are getting all riled up over it!?

Well it certainly WASN'T ME that posted those lists and mentioned 'Hispanics' as a seperate identity/group/ethnicity/race/entity (whatever) earlier in the thread!
