Yes, Hispanic is an ethnicity not a race. You can be both Black and Hispanic at the same time.

I asked my co-worker who is from Peru this question, and she said that if your black, you are black, no matter if your hispanic or african-american.

Very true

when i was in high school most of the bi racial blacks always considered themselves black. even if they had latino in them. but im sure if they were in alatino populated school they would be latino. its funny because i would have a girl whose dad was mexican and her mom was black. but i guess being black iscooler.

Melo gets in trouble from time to time but it aint to many nba players that do more for there hometown communities then him.

Thats what really matters.

While that is usually true, it's not always the case... Derek Jeter.
