Race and ethnicity are important to the United States for several reasons. For one thing, the United States was both founded and developed as a 'melting pot' of different races, nationalities, ethnicities, and value-systems, among other things. For another thing, one of the most important elements of American socio-political and cultural development, which is vitally important even today, has been the White-Black (or, European and African) relationship: increasingly positive, this relationship is still marred by historical negatives that included, most prominently, nearly two hundred years of slave-holding and then the injustice of decades of prejudicial social structuring in the American South.

What race are Hispanics?
In the US most groups subject to discrimination in the middle 20th century were racially defined (to the extent that any race can be defined): Blacks, Native Americans (then called "Indians"), various oriental groups. But the cultures of South and Central America often did not distinguish between Black and White in the way the US culture did. All Hispanics were likely to suffer some of the racially- based disadvantages of the US culture, but some could appear to be "white" while others appeared "black" or mestizo (various heritage mixes of European, African and Amerind) In order to readily designate this group as qualified for assistance and corrective measures along with the Blacks and other racial groups, the term "Hispanic" was applied. In this sense, therefore, Hispanic People are clearly not a single race, as the word "race" is used in the US. They may be one or more ethnic groups, but in the US membership in an Ethnic group is often a matter of self-definition.

What do the term race ethnicity mean?
Race and ethnicity are two different things. They can often be used together as "race/ethnicity" to allow for people to use whichever is more comfortable to them, or because bureaucracies sometimes wish to track groups of people, some of which are race, and others of which are ethnic groups. Hispanics, for example, are often considered to be an ethnicity and not a racial group. Race generally refers to major groupings of people, often loosely based on skin color and geographic origins. White, black, asian, etc. are considered races of people. Ethnicity is a more specific term having to do with the person's cultural/tribal group, such as French, German, Chinese, etc. There can also be ethnic subgroups. For example, Bavarians could be considered an ethnic group within the German ethnicity.
