Stupid question why don't you ask someone of Latino/Hispanic descent
BTW racism is defined as intentional disdain for a group based on phenotype and/ethnic culture. This is or appears to define what a Hispanic is based on the varieties of Latinos who share African and European lineages hence terms like
Hispanic (Non-African) or Hispanic (Non-Caucasian).
Since Spain is in Europe a lot of Spaniards consider themselves European hence the U.S classification of allocating Hispanics as white or non-white

Why is our government even distinguishing skin colors? Especially a government infested with enlightened democrats? Don't you brain dead perverts see what's going on here? Besides, why doesn't it read 1. Caucasian 2. Everyone else, since we represent the largest slice of the ethnic pie?

It is stupid. The entire context is missing. He should link to the application to give us a better picture of all demographic questions.

The government I assume make these classifications based on the influx ofimmigrants along with the idea of shared lineage. All Hispanics aren't Mexican, therefore for statistical purposes to categorize a demographic, the government needs to know what do non-white or "white hispanics" classify themselves as.
Perhaps they prefer to judge a man by the color of his skin rather than the content of his character.
Pull up one for yourself. They all should read the same.

Remember a "white government" had put these classifications in place well before everyone on this board was born including the late Rev. Martin Luther King whose speech you've quoted.
Remember a "black government" has done nothing to remove these classifications. That must mean you bigots prefer to stir shit up rather than erase racial barriers.

Application for what? Jobs, benefits, tax refunds?
Application for jobs. Good luck.

Remember there is no "black government" since the formation of the 13 colonies to the formation of states were formed by white english settlers who made ethnic classifications. Please let me continue to embarrass you.

I found it. And this is what it says:
OMB 3046-0046 Optional OMB 3046-0046, Demographic Information on Applicants Form
This EEOC form cannot be required, and cannot be used in making a hiring decision Optional OMB_3046-0046.pdf
This information is used to determine if our recruitment efforts are reaching all segments of the population, consistent with Federal equal employment opportunity laws. Your voluntary responses are treated in a highly confidential manner.
What you posted didn't refer to an actual job application (http://federalgovernmentjobs.us/forms/of612.pdf), which doesn't ask for that info.
That shouldn't matter. If government is as enlightened as you people like to believe, then skin color should NOT be an issue. It should come down to who is best qualified.

The government is supposed to collect demographic info on its citizens. Familiarize yourself with the US Census. You're conflating two different issues, job application and demographic questions.
Uh-uh. The questions on the application are the issue. The government is asking about race. Why?
Also, Caucasians still represent the largest share of the racial pie. It should read 1. Caucasian and 2. Non-Caucasian/Hispanic. Why doesn't it?
It's standard on most al applications for employment. I have also seen it on surveys as well. It is used purely by officials to understand the demographic and, or, to fulfill/report racial and gender quotas. There is usually a disclaimer that reads for official purposes only and that filling it out is voluntary.
