like a stereotypical Mexican person to pretend that he's Latino to be funny?

I'm not Latino but I have a friend who isn't Latino either yet thinks it'll be funny of him to do this. I warned him that he might get jumped for dressing up like a racial stereotype and offend at least one person.

And yes, I know Latino technically is just an ethnicity, not a race but the racial stereotypes of them are still obvious (most of them being racially mixed, with more obvious Amerindian and Spaniard facial features and some Sub-Saharan African in them and all).

While race does have some biological truth with all of us having different phenotypes and skin color, it's been concluded by more modern, advanced anthropologists and scientists that separating groups of humans by "race" isn't a completely accurate way of differentiating between humans. Historically there's only been 3 races, which are Caucasoid, Mong0l0id and N3gr0id.

The reason why race is also a social construct because the amount of ignorance, stupidity and egoism from human beings living in the US and many European countries. For instance, many people from the US and a lot of European countries think, Jews, Muslims, Arabs (or both a Arab and Muslim), and Latinos are all "separate races" when nearly all of them fall under being "White/Caucasoid", except for Muslims and Jews since they're religious creeds, NOT races (Although Latinos can be of any race but are usually a mixture of all 3 races). In fact, Sicilians at one point weren't considered true whites back then in the US due to their tan skin and Catholic religious faith, not falling under being WASPs. Hell, Sicilians were even treated horribly back then in their own home country by Northern Italians due to Northern Italians having a more "whiter" look.

That's the way I see race also being a social construct. In the end, there will always be hatred and discrimination everywhere, regardless if you're of a different "race", different ethnicity, different religious faith or different anything.

While it is most likely that many people have some degree of racial mixture, the vast majority of them don't acknowledge or identify with them culturally. Anthropologically, there are only 3 human races such as Caucasoid, M0ng0l0id and N3gr0id (I apologize if the last two race terms came off as racist but I didn't come up with these terms, anthropologists of the 18-19th century did).

The funny thing is, people often always tend to think a group of people in the same Caucasian/Caucasoid race equals all of them having the same skin colors when human races are differentiated mostly by skull shape, facial structures and phenotype in general, not skin color, hence why Middle Eastern people, Jews (which shouldn't even be considered a separate race of it's own from DNA testings since it is nothing more than an ethno-religion) and some South and Central Asian people fall under being racially Caucasoid, despite having more tan or darker skin than your stereotypical Caucasian person.

Fast forward that to today with Latin America and you'll see that the slight or good majority of people from Latin America are a good mixture of all 3 human races (especially between Caucasoid and M0ng0l0id, with Spanish Conquistadors and American Indians). Sadly today, there's also a lot of ignorance and stupidity in the US and in some European countries where some people of the Caucasoid race believe that Arabs and Jews are a different race from them when one, Jews again are NOT a race of their own and two, both (Arabs and Jews) still fall under being of the Caucasoid race. Then again, humanity is full of egotistical idiots who will desperately try so hard to find reasons to divide from certain groups of people by whatever preposterous reasons and then twist scientific facts up for their own race agenda.

Just my 2 cents.
