How did you self-identify in the 2020 U.S. Census (for Americans only).

Here's how I self identified.

I put American Indian & White as my two races, on the Amerindian, I put Indigenous Mexican (Purepecha) as my ancestry, & on the White, I put Spaniard as my ancestry.

I also put Hispanic/Latino as my ethnicity, & listed Chicano/Mexican-American & Spanish as my Hispanic origins.

Spaniards are white by race, & Hispanic by ethnicity.

Hispanic/Latino is considered a ethnicity, not a race in the census.
then White becuase we spaniards are europeans but Hispanic would be something more Cultural than ethnicity i would say

Hispanic means Spanish speakers or those that descend from Spanish-speaking countries, while Latino only refers to Latin Americans & their descendants, so Brazilians are Latino, but not Hispanic, while Spaniards are Hispanic, but not Latino.

The US Census only has two ethnicity categories, Hispanic/Latino & Non-Hispanic/Latino.

However, the Census definition of ethnicity is very different from the Anthropological definition of ethnicity.

Afro-Cubans, Italo-Argentines, & a Zapotec from Oaxaca are all considered "Hispanic/Latino", but they are obviously very different ethnically, culturally, & racially speaking, many of them don't even like each other, the only thing Latinos or Latin Americans share in common is being catholic & speaking Spanish or Portuguese, that's all.

Spaniards are considered White Hispanics, while Sudanese are considered Black, the Black or African-American category includes any Negroid groups from Africa, including North Africa, not just Sub-Saharan Blacks.

30% in Bahia??? No way, the average here is abt 55% Portuguese and Serfadi (Colonial) 35% SSA and 10% Indigenous, not even Salvador/Reconcavo have such low quantity of European blood (35% - 40%)
It is just an estimate and includes people who are solely European. In the Territory where I live in here in Australia, the majority of the inhabitants are Anglo-Celtic Australians, and they outnumber the Indigenous, the mixed indigenous and the immigrants from Asia and Africa. Maybe they are referring to the number of unadmixed Whites in Bahia, not the admixed folks. Notice in Europe that eastern Europe has higher European %, and countries like France with its high non European immigrants has less.
