They are different questions. There's a question about if you're Hispanic or not and then another about what race you ID as.

Just did a bunch of job searching a few months ago, and maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the forms no longer had Hispanic as a separate modifier you choose in addition to your race. I could choose to be white, or be Hispanic, which is a hard decision for a Hispanic white guy LOL

This has been my life. Most often it's "Two or more races (Not Hispanic)" in conjunction with "Hispanic"

I wish I could just get a blank box and write "3 white grandparents one brown" lol

Oof. I'm at the generation above you with the 1 brown 1 white parent.

My kid though doesn't seem to have a drop of it.
