Funny stuff.

I've never been able to figure out how to roll my Rs.

Stop speaking Spanish, your in America now....speak Mexican so people can understand you.

That would be "you're"

Wait, Spanish are not white ?

Of course we are.

But then "white" seems to have become quite a bit of a naughty word around some corners these days, with some people trying hard to distance themselves from it, often to decidedly hilarious results.

It all depends on how far down that rabiit hole one wants to go. centuries of cross migration and interbreeding has blurred the lines, but technically their really isn't a white race. It's a mix of races and sub races (ethnicity). North Western Europeans were Germanic. South Western Europeans were Latin (Latino). North Eastern Europeans were Aryan. South Eastern Europeans and Western/Northern "Middle East" were Caucasians. Caucasians later broke into Persians and Semites, which break further into Hebrews and Arabs. Even Asians have a connection to Caucasian.

Hispanic is Latino/Caribbean Mix, although many Central Americans nations have an upper class still dominated by people of Spanish descent, not local Indian descent and Hispanic can be loosely applied.

Mexican technically isn't a race, it's a nationality (Like American). Most Mexicans by race aren't even Hispanic or Latino. Northern Mexico are Pueblo and Hope descent, Southern Mexico are Mayan descent. But that goes for most Central and South Americans. Their national borders and have little to nothing to do with their actual genetic racial background.

"Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole. Catch the sun. When, at last, the work is done, don't sit down it's time to dig another one."

We can dig further now with DNA, and talk about which prehistoric caveman each race is related to....dig, dig, dig that hole....

Wat.

You're digging way too deep. The question of human races is debated, but the general consensus seems to be that there are either three or four (some count native Americans as Asians), or none. We're simply not that diverse.

Yeah, I suppose it comes down to the definition of the word 'race' in a human context. I'm not suggesting that there are no differences, it seems to be more about whether they're significant enough to justify that term.
