Funny.
Like Anna says, people w/ always call you how they see you, so what's the point?
You know what my husband and I do? We are both mixed, and is complicated to go into details all the time (his parents are french/puerto ricans, he was born in France), Whenever we're at a get together, party, etc. we just say, we are dominican/puerto rican. End of story. Unless you have a moron in the crowd always demanding to know every detail, that works 80% of the time.
Edited to explain:
As far as legal documentation goes, (workpapers, etc.) I always classify myself as a Latina. I think is important to do that.
a very good page. I'm white and managed to score about 40% correct. Only noticed that the pics could be enlarged after I finished...which didn't help.gemenilaidback said:The PBS Study
Check this website out and read the entire thing. I want white people black and hispanic responses [url]http://www.pbs.org/race/002_SortingPeople/002_00-home.htm[/url]
True.....that they can be pretty irritating [like NPR], but sometimes they hit the correct chord. How the hay did you score 100%?Criss Colon said:........ but what do you expect from "White,Liberal,Condesending,Patronizing" people at "PBS"???????

Most of the cubans that look more white I know dont even call themselves latino or hispanic and if they do they are quick to also check the whtie box to fit in . hahahaha
Ps: I am independant.
impressive...and I'm not kidding. Does anyone have an idea about why Cubans do/did so well and others not? Some sort of financial advantage when they came to the US? Clung together and assisted each other the way Chinese [orientals] and Jews do?Tony C said:Do you know that not all of Spain was conquered by the Moors? Do you even know what a Moor is? Do you know that the term African refers to a person from a geographical location not a race? Do you know that Egyptians are Africans also? Berbers? Morroccans? Do you know you can be white and African at the same time?
