has gloss | eng: Non-Hispanic Whites or White, Not Hispanic refers to the population in the United States, as defined by the Census Bureau, which is of White race but not of Hispanic or Latino origin/ethnicity. The majority of Hispanic and Latino Americans are White; like the overall non-Hispanic population of the United States, Hispanics and Latinos can be of any race: white, black, Asian, etc, as race and ethnicity are considered independent of each other. Since the population of descendants of people from Spain in the United States is vastly outnumbered by those from Spain's former colonies, the Non-Hispanic White category can also be effectively used to give a good estimate of the directly descended European population in the United States (European Americans). |
