Hispanic origin refers to a person's culture or origin—regardless of race. Therefore, people of Hispanic origin in the United States can be of any race, including White, Black, Native American, Asian, and others. This category is defined by cultural, linguistic, or national ties to Spain or Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, not by racial characteristics.
