Pretty much all Hispanics disagreed with the categories on that 2020 census. They felt stripped of their identity as Hispanics, and marginalized as a minority. And why are Asians still on there as a 'race'? They look pretty white to me.

The whole categorization was developed by government to elevate blacks as a 'minority' and homogenize Latinos away from their minority status. I remember when being Hispanic, regardless of whether you agreed with it or not, got you minority points for hiring, college acceptance, etc. But no more, because they became too large a faction (13% in 2010) and began to threaten blacks as a 'minority'. So they were recategorized. If you can't see that, then you have blinders on.
