Actually, there are only 3 races in the world...Black, White, and Mongoloid. It used to be Black, White, Yellow, and Red. But with DNA advances, it was found that the far east/Oriental (yellow), and Native Americans (red), are of the same genetics. Then there is ethnicity, which is what people typically call their blood. Not blood type, but what their ancesters are, and there are many ethnicities. If you are Italian, blood wise, you are of course white, but your ethnicity is Italian. Then there is Nationality, which is what nation you were born and/or raised. For example, you may actually have been raised in Italy (Nationality), but you may be, blood wise (ethnicity), Irish. I am American, so that's my nationality; I have a lot of Irish and Italian in me, so that's my ethnicity; and I am of the white race. Most Latinos are actually of the white race, as well as most middle easteners ... different nationalities and ethnicities, but of the white race. I hate it when people say someone is Asian because there are several races in Asia. Russia is in Asia and they are mostly white. And Japan, etc. is in Asia, but they are the Mongoloid race. So if someone is Japanese or Chinese, I say Oriental to differentiate. Mexico is a little different than other Hispanics/Latinos. A lot of Mexican's have Native American in them, so they may be two races. And some might actually be 100% Native American, which is the Mongoloid race.
