Should I claim hispanic?
Internship search hasn't been going great. I'm a quarter Catalonian on my mom's side, the other three quarters is Romanian. Does that count as Hispanic? I speak Spanish pretty well, but my Romanian and Catalan are both much better. Do I mark down Hispanic on job applications?
I am no rocket scientists, but having origins from Spain does not make you hispanic as you are considered "white" as is the Romanian part of you. Hispanic is typically reserved for individuals with origins from Latin America.

You speak Spanish, Romanian, Catalan, and English and are having a tough time? Keep plugging away at those applications, something will land.
Speak German as well, but only started applying in June + severe non-target
Yes you are Hispanic
Is just having the heritage enough or do I need by sort of 'proof,' so to speak?
You will never need to prove the fact you are Hispanic
Yea, you’re Hispanic…you are not Latino. Enjoy the stream of screenings and first round interviews you will now yield because of your minority status! Now all you have to do is convert one. Good luck and enjoy.
Hope you get caught
Caught for what exactly? Am I Hispanic? Am I allowed to put it down or not?
I just want another scandal like that IU kid who faked diversity and was exposed. You are white, just cuz you speak various european languages doesn’t make you diverse. But there are plenty of white european Mexicans/Cubans/Argentinians etc (y’know the ones who’s families are obsessed with keeping the bloodline pure) who have done what ur trying to do without repercussion.
You’re Hispanic, but not Latino
lol
Spanish (from Spain) guy here. Whenever I go to the US I have to tick off the Hispanic box at immigration, whereas my Italian friends just tick off the white one. So I guess you could go for Hispanic if you truly think it's gonna help you land a job. Good luck!
del.
Just say you're gay or any other LGBTQRST
Easier to pass the screening and more difficult for them to claim you're not
100% say you are hispanic. You literally are. The definition of hispanic includes the country of Spain. They will never check because its probably illegal and insanely unethical but you could easily make the argument that you were discriminated against for having spanish origins/speaking spanish. The whole point of boosting hispanic diversity is because hispanics are discriminated and a lot of the times this is due to language. Also there's a ton of fully European DNA hispanics in latin america so not having "native DNA" is not an issue.
It's a cruel world out there so you have to take every chance you have.
Apply as Hispanic. I’ve known people with 10% Hispanic and they put Hispanic. and I know people from Spain who put themselves as Hispanic. Take advantage of this.
Best,
Non diverse candidate
