Talk:White Hispanic and Latino Americans

"Marriage trends" bias?
Why is there no information regarding Hispanic white women marrying non-Hispanic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MVillani1985 (talk • contribs) 22:45, 22 January 2016 (UTC)


 * You are right. Most second generation white Hispanic women marry white non-hispanic men, so by the third generation their children are just Anglos, who speak English and have English names.--213.60.225.183 (talk) 19:38, 2 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Use Latino instead of Hispanic, don't forget Brazil and Haiti L1948L (talk) 01:02, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Excuse me white Hispanic women who marry white non Hispanic men who then have children Are not just Anglo They will always be descendent from Hispanics in this case They are not bred away What the hell are you talking about. You write about this as it was some sort of remedy... Skynet Ny1 (talk) 07:14, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

An important part of the population in Latinamerica have ancestors who were NOT Hispanic but Italian, Quechua, German, Maya, French, Guarani, Bantu, Croatian, Lebanese etc, etc...but their descendants have been assimilated by the Spanish ethnicity becoming "Hispanic". And the same happen to millions of people from all the World who are being assimilated by the English ethnicity becoming "Anglos" in the U.S, Canada or Australia. Cameron Diaz is NOT Hispanic but Anglo, same way as the former President of Argentina, Nestor Kirschner IS "Hispanic" even if he had German ancestors, or the President of El Salvador, Bukele, IS "Hspanic" even if he has Lebanese ancestors etc, etc. There are hundreds of millions of Latinamericans whose ancestors were not Spanish but they have been assimilated into the SPANISH culture and ethnicity, and the same happens in the U.S. or Australia with hundreds of millions of Americans whose ancestors are not English but they have been assimilated by teh ENGLISH culture and etnicity. Same in Brazil. Just compare Brazil to tiny Portugal. dozens of millions of people from all the World have been assimilated by teh PORTUGUESE culture in Brazil. Same in Russia. Same here in Spain or in England with a long process of assimilation of millions of immigrants.--88.12.248.187 (talk) 01:42, 2 January 2022 (UTC)


 * How curious, Spaniards and Nicaraguans are of the same ethnicity, but British and English-speaking Afro-Caribbean Nicaraguans are not. 'CAMERON DÍAZ IS HISPANIC. GET OVER IT. PAUL GOSAR TOO. Bernardette Erramouspe, his Basque mother, was from Banca (Lower Navarre), in the Quinto Real, a French and Spanish condominium. In Mexican: Bernarda Erramuzpe. Amerikkka created the delirious category of Hispanic'' Abide by your own delirious rules, gringos. Sudanese are classiffied as white by the US Census Bureau (lol). Spaniards are not.

Are Portuguese people Hispanic?
I don't understand why most Americans think Portuguese people are Hispanic; they clearly speak a different language and have a different culture. Blacklister3000 (talk) 19:23, 28 February 2020 (UTC)


 * The article doesn't say that Portuguese people are considered Hispanic. Article talk pages are for discussing specific improvements to articles; you might ask this question at the reference desk instead. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 19:49, 28 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Portugal is indeed in the former Hispania. --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 15:38, 14 September 2020 (UTC)


 * A different language than what? There is a language section on the article page.--Mapsfly (talk) 11:13, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

No, they speak Portuguese, the same with Brazil, they are luso L1948L (talk) 01:01, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

RITA HAYWORTH, RAQUEL WELCH CAMERON DIAZ MARTIN SHEEN MIGUEL FERRER You forget American actors and actress of Spanish ancestry like Rita Hayworth (Margarita Cansino), Raquel Welch (Raquel Tejada), Cameron Díaz, Martin Sheen (Estevez, Miguel Ferrer...they are White, but I think they should be considered Anglos, assimilated --213.60.225.183 (talk) 19:35, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Demographic changes in infobox per 2020 census
I reverted this edit to the demographic info in the infobox because the numbers seemed dubious based on what I was able to find at the given source. I may be incorrect (I don't use the census website enough to be sure I'm filtering correctly) so mentioning it here so that editors familiar with the content can review and take whatever action is necessary to update the article for 2020.

 * By going with just "white alone", about 12 million Hispanics have self-identified as such. But in combination with other races, 31 million identified as white. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.6.83.74 (talk) 04:12, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

White latino who self-identifies as white
Let me be Blunt, I being from Spanish descent do not just identify myself as just being white, My family from the pass immigrated from Spain to Puerto Rico and then to New York Which would make me an American Puerto Rican, I identify myself as white because that is what my skin color is it is not black nor brown or any other color, Try to remember that being white is not just a race If you're from Irish descent or British descent or Norwegian, Russian, German etc, than you also will have that color as well, it's not special. You gave me the impression that some latinos have a problem with their identities and I strongly disagree with that I know who I am, Now if I'm wrong about this then the author of this page needs to explain  what he meant when he wrote White latino who self-identifies as white really means. -- George Ortiz Skynet Ny1 (talk) 07:09, 25 August 2021 (UTC)


 * In fact, one of the main Boer leaders KOOS DE LA REY had Spanish ancestors...but he was Afrikaner, not Hispanic or Spanish. He was just Afrikaner, Boer, completely assimilated by descendants of Dutch colonists. And the same can be said about millions of Latinamericans whose ancestors were Italian, German, Quechua, Maya, Croatian, Lebanese etc, etc.--88.12.248.187 (talk) 01:29, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

26 million drop in one year?
As of 2020, 62 million or 18.7% of residents of the United States of America identified as Hispanic or Latino of which 12.5 million or 20.3% self-identified as white alone down from the 2019 American Community Survey when 38.3 million, or 65.5% of Latinos self-identified as white.

Clearly, there is a methodology problem here. Populations do not drop from 38M to 12M in one year just like that. 2600:1702:6D0:5160:853B:1F61:D810:B710 (talk) 15:00, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
