Does it bother you that Chuck Todd asked Rick Scott what he is doing to reach out to non-white citizens of the state of Florida?

He then clarified that he meant our Spanish speaking residents.

This was on Meet The Press today. Does it seem like a faux pas a journalist shouldn’t make? Or, is it considered correct now?

I know they include Hispanics as a person of color or brown (I don’t like those terms myself) but the fact is being Hispanic is not about race or color, it’s technically about people from the Iberian peninsula migrating to the Americas, and now is used for basically anyone from Latin America, but even on the US census being Hispanic is not a race. Race is a separate question.
