Orlando does not recognise Hispanics

[Ruzzty]

Here in Orlando, if your tossed in jail you are either White, Black or N/A.

Btw, every Hispanic person in their jail is classified as "white".


Do a simple test. Just type the first letter in a last name. It will pull up every person in jail and give a photo, date of birth, Race, etc...

Does this practice happen in other states? Doesn't this affect the stats for the country as to the % of each ETHNICITY in jail? I'm sure it does IF its widespread. Maybe the jail needs a higher White % to obtain federal grant money and thus just break it down to two main ethnic groups.

Race = Human race

Technically, Hispanics are white, if by white you mean Caucasians.

True.
Not just technically- absolutely.

"If confirmed, she would be the Court's 111th justice, its first Hispanic justice, and its third female justice." The media seems to believe otherwise.

Also, have you checked the Fed Governments stats? They also break down those incarcerated as being White, Black or Hispanic.

Thus, you may wish to believe that to be true, but the Fed Government thinks otherwise. I still contend its a ploy for some reason to mislead.

Hispanic is not a race.

Caucasoid is a race.
Negroid is a race.
Mongoloid is a race.

Those are the only three races of man.

Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid. Thats what they taught us were the 3 races when I grew up.

Capoid & Australoid I'm undecided on... :)
