Not that....

Cardinal Rogoglio is Pope I wonder if the U. S. will consider him Hispanic because he is from Argentina or Italian because of his parentage? I learned long ago that Hispanic means nothing. Mostly now the term is used to mean Mexicans and Puerto Ricans (those with Native American or Black ancestry) and then only extended to others from Spanish speaking countries but of European origin when it is politically useful.

Those "Hispanic" Europeans are usually from a countries 1%.
