From an anthropological point of view, these kinds of discussions are always interesting. Here’s the question we ask: How is “Hispanic” defined? Is it based upon the number of distinctly Hispanic genes in a person’s genome? Is it based on culture? If you were raised in Spain, Mexico, or South America and are fluent in the language are you Hispanic? A significant amount of Texas culture is Hispanic. That’s just a fact. Around the year 1836 most Americans and many Mexicans in Texas labeled themselves as Texicans. So…in today’s world, what is Hispanic?
