Do Latinos consider themselves an ethnic group? I mean, is there a Latino identity? I always thought that was just a label applied by US census and such.

&gt; The modern day Hakkas are usually identified with people who either speak the Hakka language or share at least some Hakka ancestry.This sounds like no less plausible an ethnic group than Latinos.

Hakka in Chinese really is just an archaic name for migrant, which is why I say they&#x27;re defined by migration and the conflict with locals really caused them to identify with one another and group together because they originated from different provinces.&quot;Identification as Haka was largely...self-selection&quot; which again so how most people select their ethnicity as well I guess

I assume no living Hakka experienced the Punti-Hakka Clan Wars of 1855-1867.Being defined by the turmoil your ancestors experienced is the same thing as being defined as part of a certain ethnic group.

Hakka as an ethnicity is a bit interesting, they&#x27;re less defined as part of a certain ethnic group and more defined due to the conflicts, immigrations and the turmoils they&#x27;ve been through:<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hakka_people" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hakka_people</a><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Punti-Hakka_Clan_Wars" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Punti-Hakka_Clan_Wars</a>

I hope this article helps inform those that ask the question, &quot;really, what are you?&quot; Through colonialism, commerce, and migration the Caribbean is incredibly diverse. Until now I did not realize these organizations existed.

As a proud AO investor I’d argue that their stories are a good match for the hacker curiousity spirit of HN.

Why are there sooo many atlasobsura articles now on HN? I feel like it’s been at least 1&#x2F;2 on front page for past couple days?
