If my father is from Mexico, am I considered Hispanic for the census? if my daughter is then 1/4 Mexican, is she considered Hispanic for the census?

Asked by MagicalMystery (900points) March 19th, 2010

i was born in the USA and i am white, but the census clearly states that the classification for your nationality does not mean your race (therefore, me being white has nothing to do with anything). i am wondering if i am considered Hispanic.

Since I am half Mexican, my daughter is then one-quarter Mexican. Is she considered Hispanic?
