Just to add to it, some of you know that I work with Middle Schoolers and my school is one of the more diverse schools in DC. Large Hispanic Population (Mostly from El Salvador) but we have some Puerto Ricans and Dominicans.
We have a student tracker (Google Sheet) that lists all type of data for the kids. Test Scores, Home Room Teacher, Identity. The number of kids that are Ninja's complexion and/or darker that are listed as, "Hispanic/White" instead of "Hispanic/Black" is really alarming. The kids didn't identify themselves so it is the parents that are identifying their families/kids as this.
It hurts reading those at times.
MISIS at LAUSD. Latinos are "white" here too.
We have a lot of Honduran, Salvadoran, Guatemalan and Mexican students and they're all Latino "white" in the data base.
