B6
Are you Spanish, Hispanic or Latino?
¿Es usted español(a), hispano(a) o latino(a)?
All respondents fit the official definition of Hispanic, but only a few of them self-identified as
Hispanic. Most of them self-identified as Latino, but they appeared to be accommodating, that
is, although this is not their preference, they know the Government expects them to select this
answer category. About one third offered a nationality, such as Mexican, as their initial
response. One fourth gave the same answer for the race question (B7_2CP). Although there are
conceptual problems with this question – that is inconsistencies between the ways the
Government defines these terms and how people self-identify, this question is grammatically
correct. Gender-based fills should be used in order to avoid use of “o(a),” which can make text
difficult to read.
Quantitative summary:
Latino
42%
Mexican
33%
Hispanic
25%
NOTE: 25% gave the same response to the question and about ethnicity (B6) and the question
about race (B7_2CP)
