   Reading this article is like reading news from an another planet. Yes, of course, racism and racist theories make no sense at all because there aren't human races, there is only one human race and we know it since ~100 years ago.

     If you don't know what I mean, the nazi that killed various in Texas was white. However, for some other far right scum, like US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, he cannot be white because he is Hispanic.

     The truth is that there is only one single race and, yes, ethnic Hispanic people are mostly white, and yes, they can be nazi scum too.

     Ignoring these "news", the fact that USA still uses racial concepts for so many things is worrisome and stupid to say the least.

     @joxean wanna see something cool? enter the opensource summit website (it's happening in Bilbao this year) and try to send a talk proposal.
     They ask you your ethnicity like:
     - hispanic/latino
     - indigenous
     - white
     - black
     ...
     Like... dude, do they even realize what they are doing? What are we supposed to choose?

     @ekaitz_zarraga This is very commonly used at all levels in US. Yes, it's so common. The first time I knew about it was somewhere around 2005 or so, when I applied to an offer for a US company and they shown me a US official hiring form asking me that shit.

     @joxean and what did you answer? you are probably more indigenous than white, or maybe hispanic?
