When Hispanics Become White: Nightmare of the Democratic Party

[Morena]

I doubt very much that mestizos considered themselves white. They know they are a minority and can make a profit.

There is 0 incentive for anyone to consider themselves white in the US. Even Europeans are starting to distance themselves from it.

You are very right.

I think that many mestizo Hispanics will assimilate into the White category like other population groups before them.

Most of them check the white hispanic box.

You can still claim some sort of hispanic privilege while identifying as white. Just check the hispanic box. Never heard of anyone in the US distancing themselves from Euro roots.

Checking Hispanic on job applications has helped me get responses and jobs in the past compared to just selecting white. There's really no reason not to, it just helps get your application further along the automated process so someone will see it, and the person interviewing/hiring you can't legally ask about it.

There are all kinds of HR policies in private sector and public where "Hispanic" is some sort of minority, especially in fly over country where there are not many Hispanics. Like I said before it is more advantageous if your name is Martinez compared to Mueller. What you "look" like is secondary.

I think it's a great trend for this country. We need an end to identity politics.

Yes, it already existed for the Italians too.
