Why is Latinos an ethnicity?

I missed checking that box on my 4473. That got me wondering why they so special that they get their own section? Why couldn't they be happy being lumped in with the rest of the race?

Some people have no humor.
scoff if you like, but there was a time when the "race" check mark was only 2 or 3, but now that doing that today would make white race not the majority, they must break down every race, why do you think "african Americans" remain 13% for the past 40 years
civil rights was a good move forward, but race should never have entered the picture, your ether AMERICAN or your not
the government helps in keeping the racist machine going

Ethnic groups first appeared on the 4473 form starting with the October, 2001 edition. Prior to that there was simply a blank space for the buyer to enter his or her race as he/she felt applied. As I understand it the BATF felt that Caucasian was too vague so they narrowed the field by provided specific groups which you MUST select. The instructions for Form 4473 specifically states that you must chose one of the ethnic groups provided, even if they may not apply to your specific circumstances. Since there is no mixed race category a mixed race buyer must decide then and there is they wish to be white or black or Asian, ect.! A decade ago this revision was quite controversial.
The question on the last form 4473's actually stated "check one or more boxes", Buyer could actually check a couple differant ones for their "race".
What kills me on this new one it has ethnicity, Hispanic or not hispanic, and you have to pick one or the other. Then question 10B asks "race". IT says "check one or more boxes", Hispanic is not a choice anymore like it was on the older forms.
So what is a 100% hispanic supposed to check for Race????
I think they may have screwed up and not thought this through when they designed the forms. What are your thoughts?
So I guess Hispanic is a base to the mix into the "color" pallet.
Either case I'll need to read the silly thing and not rely on memory [:D].
