What exactly do you mean by the description'white Hispanic? If they are white then say white and if they are hispanic then say hispanic. If they don't know then it should say so.
ReplyDeleteA white Hispanic is a white person who also happens to be Hispanic.
Deleteis there more than one type of hispanic? Such as brown hispanic? I thought white hispanic meant a hispanic that has a light complexion versus dark complexion. I agree with Chris, just say a hispanic, or a african american or black; or a white or caucasion person.
ReplyDeleteWhen describing a suspect in a criminal case, we try to give as much descriptive information as possible, to increase the likelihood that someone will say "Hey, I think I know that guy" and contact police. Simply saying "Hispanic" is vague and could mean anything. It could mean a white person with blond hair (like Cristina Saralegui), a black person with black hair (like Minnie Minoso) or anyone in between. We prefer more information, rather than less.
