Culture Question please answer...?

[Re-nelle]

Why do people call all hispanics mexicans, all asians chinese, and everyone with dark skin african american/black- even if they have more white heritage than black?
When asking this, i don't think everyone thinks this way, i am more or less asking why some people do

 

[NaipeMagica]

I think people just assume all hispanics come from Mexico, same with asians. And well, it's basically just assuming with everything.
