He's certainly not mastered the logic of Mexican being a nationality
rather than a race.

And you do not understand that many words have either various meanings or
shades of meaning. In fact, usage defines meaning.... "human race" is
technically incorrect... humans are a species, but contemporary usage has
made this acceptable.

The term Chifako will soon become acceptable! It of course describes a
jackass
who tries to pass himself off as being Hispanic and was of course born in
the
USA.

Once again, "Hispanic" is a culture, not a nationality or race. A person
immersed for most of their life in a culture becomes part of it. One of the
benchmark studies has to do with a child of European origin who somehow was
found and raised in a primitive indigenous culture and was, except for skin
color and such, 100% of that culture when discovered by explorers.

Or, as a cultural anthropologist I knew in Latin America said, "language
defines culture. So the language a person swears in when they hit a finger
with a hammer or the language they make love in defines their culture better
than any indicator."- Hide quoted text -

Ah, but by your standards it surely is a race. You are the one who
argued that people are of the same race whenever they share some
property in common. If, as you say, hispanics share a culture, then....
