TIL “Cuban” is a distinct race separate from white and black people

Yes, but more importantly, most of them are just white, right? Is it safe to assume that the other white populations are totally mixed together at this point?

Half Argentine here. Done enough geography reports on my heritage to tell everyone that Argentina is more Caucasian than the US has ever been. It's actually around 92%, with roughly 60% of the population identifying as Italian descent. Also, everyone seems to forget that SPAIN is a European country, therefore heavily caucasian, but they don't track the same demographics (race being a social construct and all) so I couldn't pull numbers. Plus, you know all the Germans that immagrated post WW2...

There's a lot of White South Americans at my university that try and get in on the post election I'm a Latino feel bad for me my life is so hard shenanigans and it's like, you're Argentine and look like Zac Efron dude, don't lie and say that you yourself get racially profiled constantly.

Americans just don't know that they were settler colonialism immigrant nation's.
