...according to counter-racist logic, is not a color. Under the system of racism (white supremacy) color = function. Color (function) has nothing to do with blood. Racists (white supremacists) do not mistreat people on the basis of blood type. White supremacists (racists) decide who is white and who is not white (non-white) and the non-white people are mistreated because they are not white (non-white).

Someone telling you they are "hispanic" is like someone telling you they are a truck driver. Are they a white "hispanic" or a non-white "hispanic"? Are they a white truck driver or a non-white truck driver?

See "hispanic" ain't no color (function). As far as I can see a "hispanic" is a person from a spanish speaking nation or country. Racists (white supremacists) don't care what language you speak or what nation or country you come from. Racists (white supremacists) mistreat non-white people on the basis of color (function).

Check out my post at http://www.thecode.net/_race7/00000d38.htm to get a better idea of some of the questions to ask and how to navigate to the truth based on the responses you get. (1G) should give you an idea about what to say in response to someone that identifies themselves as "hispanic".
