| On the Hispanic or Latino Race |
 |
For many years has the American Government
encouraged the use of a non-existent racial
category: The "Hispanic" Race.
This is fallacious and has no basis in
Anthropology, the science that studies race.
Currently, there are two meanings ascribed to this
label. Linguistic (or cultural), and racial. But
they are used interchangeably, creating confusion
as to the term's actual meaning.
On Official Surveys such as employment
applications, however, the term appears to be used
in a strictly racial light. Appearing along
non-cultural categories like White/Caucasian,
Black/African American and Native
American/Hawaiian Native and Eskimo.
Even more confusing was the relatively recent
addition of the "Non-Hispanic" specifier to
current racial categories.
For example: White/Caucasian is now
White/Caucasian (Non-Hispanic).
This latest change reinforces the idea that
Hispanic must be a race.
Since the addition of the Non-Hispanic specifier,
there is no way for an individual who speaks
Spanish to self-identify as White, Black or
Amerindian.
But is Hispanic a RACE??
Let us review the denotation for "race"
The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines Race as a:
"Category of humankind that shares certain
distinctive PHYSICAL TRAITS"
Being that race is a BIOLOGICAL CONCEPT, we cannot
decide an individual's race based on language or
culture!
There are no "distinctive physical
characteristics" that apply to all Spanish
Speakers.
Spanish Speakers are not racially homogeneous.
THEN WHY DOES MY FRIEND FROM MEXICO LOOK SO MUCH
LIKE MY FRIEND FROM ECUADOR?
I will explain this as briefly as possible.
THERE ARE ONLY 4 SCIENTIFICALLY RECOGNIZED RACES
IN HUMANITY:
1- Caucasoid.
2- Negroid.
3- Mongoloid.
4- Australoid.
We all belong to one of these. But there are many
subtypes.
Subtypes within the "Caucasoid Race" include:
Mediterranid, Nordid and Orientalid. These are
just a few.
The "Mongoloid Race" has many subtypes as well.
East Asian, being one of them. And Indianid (or
Amerindian) being another one.
Amerindians from the U.S. or from South America,
are considered "Mongoloid".
They are relatively Homogeneous because this is a
RACE, unlike Hispanic.
Countries like Mexico and Ecuador are
predominantly populated by Amerindian peoples.
But they are not the only ones. Nearly all
Continental Central America, and a large part of
South America have an "AMERINDIAN MAJORITY".
This is the reason why many people believe that
"Hispanics" are homogeneous: THEY ARE SIMPLY
OBSERVING SHARED PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN
AMERINDIANS.
However, just like English speakers, Spanish
speakers can be Black, especially in the
Caribbean. For example, Dominican Republic.
And just like English speakers, they can be White.
Especially in countries like Argentina, Chile and
Brazil, where many Europeans emigrated during
World War II, as well as after the fall of the
Soviet Union.
The addition of the "Hispanic" Race to official
surveys is a scientific travesty.
