Why are Hispanics not a race in the u.s but only defined as ethnicity?

Social Studies

Answer:

In 1929, the League of the United Latin American Citizens, a Mexican-American organization, formed in Corpus Christi, TX. One of their main organizing efforts was to get "Mexican" off the 1930 census. They protested: we are white race, we are Americans.  The Mexican government itself protested the category, because the entire Southwest used to be part of Mexico, and when it was taken over by the United States, they promised Mexico that the Mexican residents there would be treated as full citizens. Well, at the time, you had to be white to be a citizen. So that's where the whole issue came about of Mexicans, specifically, identifying as legally white but socially not-white. After 1930, there has never been another Latino group listed as a race on it. In 1970, the Hispanic origin question was first introduced on the Census long form, which is an extended questionnaire that goes out to about one in six households. And then, finally in 1980, the Hispanic identity question appears on all of the forms. It used to come after the race question. They later moved it before the race question because it was one of the most unanswered forms on the census. If you asked people their race, "I'm white or I'm black," and they would get this next question, "are you Hispanic?" They would say "I already answered this," and they would skip it. So that's why we have them the way they are and the way they're ordered.  And importantly, Latinos can be of a variety of racial backgrounds. People can be Afro-Latino and be white and be Latino and there are a whole lot of Latinos who are brown. So there's the issue of not wanting to be racialized, and there's the racial diversity of Latinos themselves.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The embryonic stage.

Explanation:

The prenatal development goes through three different stages:

  1. The germinal stage: Begins at conception and it takes place during the next 2 weeks.
  2. The embryonic stage: It takes place from week two to eight weeks after conception. During this stage, the embryo begins to differentiate itself into three layers that will become different systems of the body. By week eight, the basic structures of the brain and central nervous system have been established and the organs start to appear.
  3. The fetus stage: It takes place from week 9 until birth. The systems formed in the previous stage continue to form until they are ready for birth.

Therefore, the period of prenatal development that occurs two to eight weeks after conception. During this period, the rate of cell differentiation intensifies, support systems for the cells form, and organs appear is called the embryonic stage.
