Within in this forum, we obviously know that hispanic is not an "actual" race but the average/typical american thinks it is however. Most americans think you have to have a certain "look" to be called hispanic. Which is why I made a thread about this.

BTW, my Afram friend has been called "spanish" by many people (including whites too) just soley based on his apperance. Pic of him is here: http://www.hayfieldpictures.com/Misc...42_bcTRG-XL-LB

Solely based on their appearance, they would think they are African-Americans, of the lighter type. Of course, that's without knowing their backgrounds, names etc.

Even this guy? http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/6K289...ni+Dos+Santos?

His looks are fairly rare in the AA community. IMO, They'd (most americans) would label him latino for sure before calling him AA.
