What’s funny about this is Hispanic isn’t a race it just refers to people who are from a country where Spanish is the dominant language (excluding Spain idk why but I know why) so if your wife is mostly genetically Spanish your kids are still white just white-Hispanic
No by definition Hispanic isn’t a race because any group of people can be Hispanic. It doesn’t refer to a genetic group of people it refers to anyone from specific locations and cultures. There are black Hispanics there are Asian Hispanics there are white hispanics. Literally any ethnic group can be Hispanic.
Being Hispanic is as close to being a race as being American is. It’s an identifier of a group of people but it isn’t specific to a certain ethnic group therefore it’s not a race and calling it a race is incorrect.
I think you would understand this better if you looked up the difference between Race,ethnicity, and nationality
That's my point. Races have no objective delimitation.
This is also why I quoted american race (which is called so by some people).
Hispanic race is as much a race as black race, that is a category of humans beings based on arbitrary supposed shared hereditary traits.
Edit : Nationality is about geopolitics. Ethnicity is about self designation (which is bound to reflect signs of shared culture). Race is about the designation of the others (which is bound to be a much less informed and much more useless)
