Hispanic or Latino is an ethnicity the census counts separately. Most Hispanic New Yorkers are also counted inside a race bar — historically most often White — so this bar overlaps the others and is not additive. Most Hispanic New Yorkers mark “some other race” or two or more races, which land in Other or multiracial — not White.
