An update from Bogotá!
We (the US) would consider everyone here to be Hispanic, but since Hispanic = the mix of indigenous and Europeans, the people here are every color of the rainbow, with some who dont ´look´ Hispanic, at least as Americans would percieve.
Then, race here means indigenous, mestizo, white, or black.
I have a Colombian cousin who´s super pale, with freckles and red hair.
A revison: race as a perception from outsiders of onces ethnicity or background is silly.
Lets not even get started on white African-Americans...
