i’m really really sorry if this post seems heavily political and social, i was born in mexico. not united states or canada, i still live in mexico, my family is mexican but i am northern african/moroccan/jewish/arab, i like to identify as white because well i have a lot of ancestry from those places and i’m sorry if that sounds racist but it’s not, i’m just being honest… is that ok to identify as?? to be?? because once i move to the united states someday i’ll be asked what my race and ethnicity is and to that i will say white of course!!

    If you were born in Latin America or into a Latin American family then I’m pretty sure that makes you Latino even if that’s not really your identity. You’re also Moroccan-Mexican. You might also be white, but that’s always a question of being white enough, which varies depending on the people around you. On many forms in the US you can identify as both white and Latin American because those are different questions.
