    Do you understand that Mexican people can be white? Mexican people can be white. Mexico is a country, not a skin color. That’s why demographic questionnaires have “white, hispanic” and “white, non-hispanic” as separate entries.

      No they don’t. They have 13 flavours of Asian, then ‘aboriginal’, caucasian and black, none with any granularity deeper than that. I assume Latinos come under ‘caucasian’ here but I’d support a case of abo too, depending.

      (At least in my area).
