Re: what do you prefer to be called?
I prefer Latina but Hispanic is okay, I guess. I think I prefer Spanish over Hispanic even though I am not Spanish (as in from Spain)...well not unless you trace roots really really far back.
It's weird though...because "white" indicates a skin color...meanwhile almost all the other things you listed (beside the Black option) indicate a heritage, nationality, or culture.

I agree with that statement. I don't really care, but to me white and black are colors not ethnicities. I guess it is a lot easier then putting Irish,English and German which is what I am.

Re: what do you prefer to be called?
I guess black bc I don't think of myself as African American.... Both my parents were born in Haiti, so I say I'm Haitian American.

Doesn't bother me either way but I think of caucasian as being very formal.

Re: what do you prefer to be called?
Honestly, I don't really identify with any of those. I don't consider myself "white" and I don't consider myself "Hispanic". Although, when I have to check the little box, I do check hispanic. I would just prefer not to be referred to by my ethnicity at all unless you have a family history survey for me to fill out.
