Pablo lives in the United States, where most people assume that he is Arab until they learn his name and hear his accent. They are surprised when Pablo tells them that he is from Spain and identifies as white, not Hispanic. Some even tell Pablo that he isn't really white. What does this suggest about race? The criteria used to determine a person's race does not vary across culture and time. Race isn't always obvious, but Pablo could take a DNA test to determine his race.
