If a latina looking woman has a full American name what race is she?

[Anonymous]

And she is definitely not white American. Looks so exotic

[wtf636]

Lol, latin people can still be American.

But maybe one of her ancestors married an American guy, took his last name. Started naming their kids American names, because they are American.

Then you get a Latin woman, with an American sounding name.

[hahahmm]

Human? As someone who grew up in a place where last names seldom meant anything I'm always amused when people try and figure something out about a person based on their last name.

American? I don't know but a Latina can be American.

[Asker]

Not with an American name though
she's Puerto Rican name is
Isabelle Elizabeth for example

I don't get it. Consistently at GaG, Latinos/Latinas are supposed to be members of the "White" race.

I don't make the rules.

Race isn't defined by the name, but by the combination of social and physical traits. So, Latina, I guess.

[Asker]

Isabelle Elizabeth for example

[Asker]

she's Puerto Rican

[AngelMegumin]

And? You can have any variant of any name, for example Andrew, Adrian, André etc. Social and physical traits matter.

[Asker]

Her surname is johnson

[AngelMegumin]

And what of it? Surname can come from the grandparents or even great-grandparents. It's basically a pointless discussion at this point. The race of parents what matters, let's put it that simple.

What difference does it make? What if Cameron Diaz changed her name to Minnie Mouse? Would it make a difference?

[TwoToTooTutu2]

They are Caucasian. Always jave been, always will be. However Latino doesn't mean that they must be Caucasian, so Technically Black and Asian people can be Latino.

I don't know, but I'd want her in my bed right now, I fucking love Latinas. 😆

Latinas are biracial for the most part, they have European and Native-American ancestry mostly, some have a little of African and Middle-Eastern blood.
