Always thought it was strange to mark “White, Hispanic” on everything because that was an option always growing up. Like you all really do need to know my skin color don’t you.
If you didn’t know my last name you’d never guess I wasn’t “American”
I’m half Mexican half Finnish. Strange mix. Pure white.
I understand the hardship
Random people do not think my father is my father.
I’ve been stopped multiple times by police walking with him to make sure I was okay when I was a kid. All good, just walking around the neighborhood with my dad lol.
Edit: It’s also funny growing up people asking me who our gardener was. Also my dad.
I’m a white hotel towel Mexican

You mean like Texas Senator Rafael “Ted” Cruz?
Some people even secretly say that Spanish was invented by white people
I get told all the time I’m not Hispanic because I’m white.
Its not my fault a white Brit knocked up my Costa Rican grandma. And my grandma certainly cultured me while she was alive.
So I just say I’m a white Hispanic to clear the confusion.
