If you consider yourself American, you can be a white American or a black American, or any flavor of skin color in between. Likewise if you consider yourself Hispanic, you can be a white Hispanic, or a black Hispanic or any in between.

Hispanic only means that you identify your origins as having come from a Latin American country.

Now, the feeling of inferiority that gurudev16 talks about, has nothing to do with skin color and more to do with economics. If you make good money you don't feel inferior. You are doing well and enjoying life. Instead you feel pitty for all the poor folk around you that aren't as enlightened as you are, whether they be white, black, brown or any other physical trait one cares to assign to people.

So I agree, lets get over the whole skin color classification and focus on economic and educational distinctions and values. Our nation is becoming poorer, not because we are less white, but because we are less smart.

I'm a computer scientist, I write programs for a living, my salary is very high, and in my department there is only one American white person because he was smart enough to go into a technical field and not lure himself into a business degree with false hopes of making it big on wall street. The rest in my department are Hispanic and Indian because there weren't any other qualified candidates available.
