Something even more narrow than a "nation" as defined by J G Stoessinger.

IIRC, Stoessinger defined a nation by:

• Geographic base
• Common and interdependent economic patterns
• Common language
• National Character
• Religion
• An accepted collective identity based on shared narrative of the nation's past and future

A Race is a far more abstract category which shares almost none of these.

An Ethnic group is a much more highly localized version of all of the above.

I'd say from smallest (most refined) to largest (most abstract) social groups is ordered:

• Individual
• Direct Family
• Indirect Family
• Clan group (full extended family/community group)
• Locality
• Ethnicity
• Ethnic Nation
• Civic Nation
• State
• Religion
• Ideological Community
• Race

A nation of people contains at least one or more, ethnic groups which retain localized versions of all the same characteristics.

Hispanic is so abstract that it is effectively an ideological community. It is an affiliation that means something only to Americans. It has no real social boundaries of any kind. It's worse than being called Asian because it effectively tells you nothing about the person who is identifying it beyond their specific political creed, which is exactly what Latinx is.

You can also tell that Leftism is not part of an American nation, especially that last segment. All Leftists are foreigners by definition. They are an ideological community seeking to destroy all other nations in order to collectivize the world into their single meta-narrative.

Moreover, it is why no Leftist can truly be of any nation. There are no Chinese Communists, only Communists who are ethnically Chinese. National Socialists are not Nationalists, they are Socialists, and they are liars. They are attempting to Socialize a Nation of people. Or, as Hitler put it: "synchronize" it into a Socialist body politic. National Socialists destroy Nations by Socializing them.

I'm rambling at this point, but I think you get the idea of where I'm coming from. Hispanic is a kind of weird Americentric Socialization of non-northern-or-central-european North and South Americans. It's so worthlessly abstract as to be devoid of meaning.
