Therefore, in the context of the showcase field is he lying when he asserts that she admitted not being caucasian?
The fact that white-hispanic IS Caucasian is a secondary issue.

Are you being purposely obtuse or what?
What complete bollocks. Hispanic is a cultural attribute, and hispanics can be as white as anybody, and she herself said white-hispanic. Has absolutely nothing to do with mixed ethnicity.
What the fuck does 'not entirely white' mean?
You remain confused.
WU was entirely incorrect. He incorrectly said she admitted she was not Caucasian, when she categorically said she was Caucasian.
Geeezzz again. Originally Posted by essence

Is Italiabella (or whatever she is called) white and Caucasian? Of course.
But the main crime is to state somebody admitted something when they did no such thing. You are not addressing that point.
If WU had said 'you are not Caucasian' then he is mistaken but not a liar.
He didn't say that.
He said 'She admitted she is not Caucasian'.
Geeezzzz. This will run and run. Originally Posted by essence

She said: I'm hispanic/white. It says Caucasian because I am.
Her showcase states Caucasian/white (at least it does now, I don't know whether it did before, she may have changed it).
Now, it could be regarded as contradictory or confusing if and only if hispanic/white is not considered Caucasian. But that would be an obtuse and would fly in the face of accepted understanding of the word Caucasian. As I have repeatedly said, many hispanics are Caucasian, and consider themselves to be Caucasian. Caucasian and hispanic is NOT ethnically mixed.
Caucasian is a racial classification. Hispanic is an ethnicity classification.
She interprets herself, and we have no reason to believe she is anything other, as Caucasian of hispanic ethnicity.
It is confusing only in the context of the Eccie classification system which conflates ethnicity and race. It is not at all confusing to anybody with a brain and eyesight. Of course, Wakeup lives and breathes eccie rules.
A white - hispanic can be just as much a Caucasian as i am.
Wakeup said: I did read (the showcase). It says she's Caucasian. She admits she's not.
So can anybody please point out to me the place where she admits she is not Caucasian?
Until that is done, Wakeup remains a liar.
Why am I doing this? Because I am sick to death of Wakeup's sophistry, game playing with eccie rules, and derailing of threads by continually bringing up racial issues.
See this extract from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_...tino_Americans
In the United States, a White Hispanic is an American citizen or resident who is racially white (i.e., of primarily European descent) and of Hispanic descent. White American, itself an official U.S. racial category, refers to people "having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa" who reside in the United States.[4]
Based on the definitions created by the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Census Bureau, the concepts of race and ethnicity are mutually independent, and respondents to the census and other Census Bureau surveys are asked to answer both questions. Hispanicity is independent and thus not the same as race, and constitutes an ethnicity category, as opposed to a racial category, the only one of which that is officially collated by the U.S. Census Bureau.
