So I wonder why to this date on a high level of things like the corporate world and even in the media you still mainly see white/caucasian people?

Like when I think of CEO’s, boy bands or movie stars I rarely see for example black people. I feel like they’re under represented and it needs to change.

I once asked a similar question on a different Lemmy account and they were telling me I’m racist for being against racism. How does this make sense? I’m pretty sure white supremacy is a real thing and I think it’s important to speak up about it. Why do you think this is still an issue? Do people not care about it?

Hispanic is an ethnicity while white is a race. you can be of any race and Hispanic and of any ethnicity and white but that doesn't mean they're the same thing.

Hispanic means Spanish-speaking people from Latin America which is different from Spanish which is a person from Spain. despite what the conquistadors would like people to think, not everyone in Latin America has Spaniard lineage. there are indigenous people that never got fully assimilated and don't speak Spanish
