Yeah definitely that’s how I understood it, but now it sounds like they are categorizing Hispanic as a race not an ethnicity.

I know this isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things, but I will always be confused on what to put for myself. My family comes from Central America (I have dual citizenship), so I should pick Hispanic, right? But my family is also white Hispanic, my cousin’s have a range of blonde and red hair, light eyes. I also have some Asian Hispanics in my family.

Hispanic really isn’t a race and it feels like I’m not supposed to pick it on the census because I don’t have the right skin color.

Whereas someone who does look Hispanic the way people think of, but maybe their family hasn’t lived there for generations, they get to be considered more Hispanic than me. It’s just confusing.

Yes! In the spirit of posting, some of the things I’d like to see more engagement in (and I’ll do my part) are television, movie, and book communities. On reddit I loved discussing the latest episodes of my favorite shows or hearing about theories in the books I’m reading.

For a moment I was confusing it for the cancelled Apple show Metropolis…I was really looking forward to that. But now I know this movie exists and am excited for it. I love original epic sci-fi!
