I don’t want to dox myself, but I’ve been at my job for 5+ years. I guess either my boss or I fat fingered something while I was on boarding, cuz just now I was going over some paperwork and… As far as my job is concerned I’m Native American. I am very much white. Nobody ever brought it up.

I couldn’t find an easy way to change it and I’d rather not talk to HR if it’s not a big deal. So, forget about it? Call HR?

    Spaniard here. I did some remote work with a North American company and in my profile my race was “Latino”. I tried to explain I’m caucasian but it was futile.

      I had that exact conversation at work a few days ago. Someone was insisting that Spaniards are Latino, so I asked them if Spain is in Latin America or Europe. That was the key to them eventually figuring it out.

      I’m American, and of Spanish descent. On all my paperwork it says Latino, people here often don’t get the difference because they forget Spain exists.
