“For the Spanish speaking residence the category Race didn’t make sense in either language. When I pointed to the racial choices they looked at me incredulously without any understanding. Nothing in their day to day experience suggested they were White. No one gave them White Privilege. How could they be forced to check White on a form? But, I soothed them with the option to make better choices about their Latino origin. No Puerto Rican wants to be lumped with Mexicans. And the Guatemalans and Salvadorans were glad that I could write that in the box for another, Latino or Spanish origin.” 2010 Census Worker
