I know many Hispanics who identify with their culture more than their race. I know Hispanics who look completely ‘white,’ with blond hair, blue eyes, etc., or completely ‘black,’ with dark skin and coarse hair, and neither would refer to themselves as white or black because they often see those as terms that denote a culture that is not theirs. Also, most are a mixture of black, white and native, so they really don’t fit into the U.S. ‘black’ or ‘white’ category.

If you dislike ‘black’ Hispanics denying their African roots, do you also dislike African Americans wanting mixed-race celebs like Tiger Woods, Colin Powell, Alicia Keyes, Foxy Brown, Halle Berry or Vanessa Williams to completely ignore their white/European roots? In the black media and among African Americans in general, it is always presumed that anyone with any black blood should ignore all other parts of their ethnicity and embrace only the ‘black’ part. Does that bother you?
