Collage

I made a Collage for this article,the people in the collage are limited to pics at the commons and sources which are very difficult to come by the only thing i really paid attention to is making it almost even with gender because of these limitations —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiscribe (talk • contribs) 02:47, 19 February 2010

Spaniards and White Hispanics are the same

Ethnically, the Spaniards and White Hispanics are the same, because the White Hispanics are pure or mostly Spanish ancestry. As Italians and Italian Americans or English people and English Americans are the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paracelso86 (talk • contribs) 09:37, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hispanic whites are of diverse ancestries, incluiding Italian, Slavic, Middle Eastern and Caucasian. That's why your stance is incorrect. Salut, --IANVS (talk | cont) 01:10, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And that is why the Hispanic term is flawed badly. Because the real Hispanics are the Spaniards or Iberian. And not everybody from Latin America or a country formally ruled by Spain has Spaniard or Iberian ancestry. So how are they Hispanic? Because Language? Well than everybody who speaks English is British. The USA should abolish the ethnicity from the census. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Secret killer (talk • contribs) 04:43, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To the above contributor, the term "Hispanic" is indeed flawed, but so is your reasoning. "Hispanic" means more than just language, it also means culture and national origin (or national origin of one's parents or ancestors). As such, anyone whose primary language is Spanish OR whose forbears came from a Spanish-speaking country could theoretically identify or be identified as Hispanic. Your British analogy is wrong because Spanish and Hispanic are different. An English-speaking group analogous to Hispanics would be comprised of the entire populations of the UK, US, Canada (with the exception of Quebec), Australia, and every other Anglophone country, regardless of race or other factors. But you wouldn't call all these people British, because most of them are not actually from Britain, just as most Hispanics aren't from Spain. Hispanic Americans could therefore identify as part of both groups (from an English-speaking country yet in some way Hispanic in ancestry). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.168.77.113 (talk) 02:04, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Selma Hayek

Selma Hayek is not a white Latina. Where did this assumption come from? She doesn't eve look white at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.174.171.40 (talk) 16:45, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Selma Hayek has more indigenous blood if anything. This whole thing about Middle Easterners being white is flawed. Many of them don't even see themselves as white people. That's like saying that Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden are white. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.174.171.40 (talk) 16:47, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How is Selma Hayek not White? Not all White people are pale. Many are tan just go to any nation along the Med. Sea. Also she is half Lebonese and even considering that Lebonese/Arab is not a race either. She's White with Med. features. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.45.60 (talk) 20:54, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What indigenous are you talking about? She doesn't have indigenous Mexican blood. Her father is Lebanese and her mother is a Spaniard. Please enlighten us how she has indigenous Mexican blood? Not every body in Mexico that has olive skin and is not pale have indigenous blood. I can give you a picture test and I bet you wouldn't know which are indigenous and which are not. I bet you think Don Fransisco is indigenous but both of his parents were German Jewish immigrants. Secret killer (talk) 04:35, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In Latin American mestizos are white?..dont think so..otherwise they would be seen as the same as argentines which most arnt. Salma is Mediteranean..wheather born in Mexico or not... look at these photos of her looking natural.Picture, Picture 2. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.175.247 (talk) 03:18, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a very honest question (no trolling, I swear): as far as I understand, if somebody was of White-WASP descent, except for only one ancestor in their family tree being, say, indigenous or black or you name it, they're automatically labeled as indigenous or black, right? (Like when they say that Bill Richardson is Latino or that Halle Berry is Black). However if you're of 99% Black or Indigenous descent except for a tiny 1% white, that doesn't make you white, does it? Why is that?--188.134.45.75 (talk) 08:32, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not all Hispanics are 100 percent

Some of these White Hispanics have a parent of non-Spanish (i.e. English, German, Irish, etc. ancestry). For example, Martin Sheen(he was born Ramon Estevez) had a Spanish father and Irish mother. God bless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.115.152 (talk) 21:05, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
