FYI: "Spanish" and "Mexican" are not the same thing.

If a Chinese couple had a baby in Spain and the baby speaks Spanish, is the baby Mexican?

Wait wait wait. WTF is hispanic if not spanish/mexican? I thought hispanic was more broad, covering both nationalities :confused:
Yeah, this guy has no clue, unless he means non-spanish speaking natives - which are so few they may as well not be counted.

His·pan·ic
adj.
Of or relating to Spain or Spanish-speaking Latin America.
Of or relating to a Spanish-speaking people or culture.

n.
A Spanish-speaking person.
A U.S. citizen or resident of Latin-American or Spanish descent.

Wait why the fvck is "U.S. citizen" included there? So if you're of latin-american descent, spanish descent, or U.S. descent, you're hispanic?!

I was born in the U.S. but my family is from Russia and Germany. But that still means that I'M HISPANIC?!

A U.S. citizen or resident of Latin-American or Spanish descent.
Are Russia and Germany in Spain? Maybe your family should have taught you English instead of Russian and German. :confused:

if set D consists of A, B, and C, would it be correct to say that D = A and B?

Are you fvcking stupid or something? Do you not see the "or" word in between all three of those "variables"?

Do you not understand the concept of "or"?

I hope your reading comprehension skills are not representative of all US Citizens.

It's not. I'm pointing out the flaw of the last part of the definition.

Are you stupid that you do not see the word OF.


A US citizen or resident (illegal person) that has Hispanic blood in them.

Well, that just goes to show that I'm too stupid to read font this small, apparently. IQ++ please.

In either case, it shouldn't have anything to do with being a U.S. Citizen or not. The U.S. shouldn't be in the definition at all since we don't have any influence on whether someone is hispanic or not.

I'll concede that "of" is not "or" and that it's referring to U.S. Citizens from Latin-America or U.S. Citizens from Spanish descent. I will also concede that it is an horribly awkward and ignorant definition by including the U.S. and excluding other latin-speaking countries (outside of latin america and/or spain). I will not concede that I am wrong about anything other than the difference between "f" and "r"

No, the government pays may company to provide IT solutions. Right now my boss is paying to me to sit and wait for a different company to get off their ass and fax me some paperwork so I can keep working.

Please try again to be an asshole.

the census department invented the definition to describe the observed drifferences between latin american latinos and other latinos, such as italians, french, and romanians. so, you have to live in the US to be hispanic.
