Except the or means "or sometimes referred to as Latino", so the critical or is embedded in the definition ... from an EOC definitions from a University of Washington webpage, Hispanic or Latino: A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

'White power' (really epidermically pink-ish) has a better ring than 'Caucasians for ever!' which sounds like an event McClain would jump on a jet for, way out in the petro-rich steppes somewhere, somewhere all the place names had at least eight syllables and started with weird letters like T and K.

I just pondered the list and wondered where for example South Africans of Indian descent fits in. The list is such a mix of geography, skin color, culture and language.

Or, IOW, if an "Ethiopian American" wants to maximize their change at academic assistance, they should tick the "African American or Black" box and under the breath mutter, "by which I mean American with ancestry from a country located in Africa". I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
