We do have a weird thing with Latinos, legally and socially. I’ve met many, many people who I had no idea claimed “Latino” until they told me.
As to the law, every job application asks if you’re “white but not Hispanic”. That’s an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) regulation. Also, that’s why we keep those stats. You can opt not to answer.
We’ve had to craft boatloads of laws to ensure that we’re treating each other fairly. But again, that stems from earlier racism and current diversity.
I get your drift, but it would be weird for Europeans to speak of “race” when everyone pretty much looks the same. LOL, I’m well aware that Italians don’t look like Scandinavians, but I gather it wouldn’t be noticeable if one were in the other country?
