I'm going to need someone to explain to me why forms in the US don't consider Spain European.
When they check a box the options are often:
- White/European Descent
- Hispanic/Mexican/Spanish Descent
- Black/African
- Mixed
Spain is in Europe.
I just... I still don't understand.
Growing up I didn't think about it much, or I thought they were asking about languages.
But I filled out a profile for a medical survey from the USA the other day and it asked about ancestry and has European and Spanish as different options as if Spain isn't in Europe.
If you're isolating Spain from Europe because of the African influence... why aren't you listing Portugal with Spain? Where Greece fall in this spectrum? Do you understand the trade history of the Mediterranean at all?
