un-Hispanic? Hispanic/Latino is an ethnicity, and ethnicities can cange. Race is something that last forever..My parents were from Latin America but Im white, I dont speak spanish, and dont relate to latino culture. Does this now just make me white. Should I now just check the white box on forms and leave the Hispanic portion blank?
 
Well theoretically yes. If you have parents from Latin America or Spain and they're culturally hispanic, but you dont have ANY traces of that then youre still hispanic, but your later generations wouldnt be culturally.
 
You can not be un-hispanic. You can either be hispanic or not. You can check whatever box you want. No one will hunt you down and force you to change it. I mark black despite the fact that my grandma is from Cuba and I have french white people in the family which would be a race.
