[Robert Koehler]

A common myth that many Hispanics believe is that Hispanic is a race. In fact, Hispanic is no more of a race than ‘German’ or ‘French’. It’s just a general ethnic classificaiton, used to refer to anyone with even a drop of Iberian ancestry. In many schools and government forms, ‘Hispanic’ is given as a racial option – this has lead to Hispanics believing that they are a separate race that doesn’t fit into the ‘white’ or ‘black’ category, when in reality this is both uninformed and ignorant. You are correct, that most Dominicans are indeed black. However, they feel that they need to identify with other Hispanics rather than blacks.
