Again, "Hispanic" is a culture, not a race.


"Hispanic Surnamed" is the entire name of the cubbyhole.

No, it's not. There is a branch of my family, with the surname of "Gleason"
in Mexico with accomplishments such as being dean of a faculty at the UNAM,
and the mother of a former Mexican ambassador to Great Britain.

Of course, the original form of that surname is Celt, and comes from the
Northwestern part of the Iberian Peninsula, morphed only by long usage in
southwestern Ireland.

I know Hispanics with surnames like Liberman... in that case, the family
members qualified for minority tax certificates when they bought KLVE and
KTNQ in Los Angeles. Or names like Riekehoff, Fujimori, Kirchner, O'Higgins,
Fourquets, Bonet, Hadad, Slim, Dassum, Nebot, Fox, Rosenblat, Pisterman,
Smirnoff and many more, and all are Hispanics of some international
prominence or local fame.

It's not about names. Even the original OMB and Bureau of the Census
definition, made before the 1980 Census, said that the quality of being
Hispanic is related to the culture of or derived from the usage of the
Spanish language.

You are NOT Hispanic, boy! But feel free to get your panties in a knot and have
a hissy fit!
