On a census form I always select "other".

And that's fine.  You're allowed to check that, just like you're allowed to check the box for Mexican ancestry if you want.

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.

This isn't a 2020 thing.  Check the 2000 form.  It's the same.  How far back do you want to go to find an example of a census form that says I'm wrong?
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
