I’m about to apply for citizenship and I have a question difficult to give a clear and easy answer. It is related to the question of “Race”.
I don’t know exactly what to answer:
In the part 5 of N-400 application it says. Are you Hispanic or Latino? Yes or NO. I answered yes. Because I am Hispanic.
The most confusing part is the following sentence:
RACE: White, Asian, Black or African American, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.
My two last names are Spanish. By genealogy, I have Spanish ancestors. If you know me in person, I am brown with dark hair. I don’t look white, I don’t belong to any American tribe or Indian, I am not black or Asian. I am Hispanic with 2 Spanish last names. How can I answer correctly this question? Thanks!
