Help! I'm filling out the Census and "For this census, Hispanic origin is not a race. People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race."
King of Games
wtf do I put for Race?
King of Games
White and then ancestry "Mexico"?
Lauren
uh hm yeah that's tricky
cacopheny
I thought the question previous listed the Hispanic/Latino/Spanish? I clearly remember there being two ethnicity questions 
King of Games
yeah there's two. there's "Hispanic origin" and then boxes to check and THEN there's a Race question
King of Games
they're separate and both are required.
Grimme
Uhhhh

...
ℭ𝔬𝔫𝔠𝔞𝔱𝔢𝔫𝔞𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫
that's.
King of Games
I legit don't know what to put because we tried to do Ancestry once and it ends with my great grandparents because Mexico doesn't keep records so it just... ends.
cacopheny
Is there an "other" option that doesn't specify?
King of Games
i can go all the way back to the ancient times of.. 1890.
King of Games
(everyone else is like: in 1500 i found an ancestor and then there's me)
ꜱʜᴏᴡᴛɪᴍᴇ!
wtf
ℭ𝔬𝔫𝔠𝔞𝔱𝔢𝔫𝔞𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫
i don't even know that far back, honestly, but yeah
ℭ𝔬𝔫𝔠𝔞𝔱𝔢𝔫𝔞𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫
seems weird that there isn't a specific answer for that
Lauren
they do have a page on it if it's at all helpful, not sure if it is for your situation

cacopheny
I'd put "some other race" and put Mexican there, if it were me
Lauren
they also have this
they also have this
Lauren
so yeah either white: mexican or other: mexican probably depending on which you think suits you better
King of Games
yeah maybe white polish / mexican
King of Games
and they can deal with that I guess.
Lauren
yeah that seems like it would fit
Lauren
with their intent
King of Games
yeah seems the closest I guess.
King of Games
i'm gonna get a follow up phone call from some unamused census worker.
sarkat
I have so many questions about the list of races there...
ꜱʜᴏᴡᴛɪᴍᴇ!
yeah, seriously...
sarkat
but I'm also Eurotrash, so maybe that's why
King of Games
well you fill in whatever you want in the boxes
King of Games
should have taken 5 minutes but I had to go and bd a special Mexican snowflake
