Are you saying since he’s not pristinely white, even though all his documents list him as such, he’s all the sudden Hispanic? Do I look white?

https://www.dps.texas.gov/texas10mostwanted/MostWanted/Fugitives … here’s a live link which shows a bunch of Hispanic people labeled as white. It’s pretty common practice. I’ve also filled out several govt forms where Hispanic is only a secondary option, not a primary. Not sure why they do this, but hope this explains.

Those all day Hispanic to me, but I see what you’re saying that it’s a secondary option. But what about his school records and birth certificate? Both of those only claim white, and usually you have to say Hispanic or not Hispanic

The point is that white is the primary option while Hispanic is secondary, so when you have short hand info they’re generally just going to use the primary designation without secondary.

I don’t know anything about his birth certificate but again we’re talking about an abstract system of racial identification. I’d be curious to take a look at his birth certificate though if you have it

And both of his adoptive parents, both with the surname Cruz, were of eastern (Russian) European decent. He also has a younger biological brother named Zachary. Who’s also listed as white.

I have a tough time believing two Eastern Europeans would name their adopted son ‘de Jesus Cruz’

What name did you type into the broward site? Nothing populates for Nicolas/Nikolas/Nicholas Cruz

I’m also not sure what the race/ethnicity of the adoptive parents has to do with his race/ethnicity.

People try to equate Cruz with Hispanic. It’s not. Very very common surname. Ethnicity, race, and gender cannot be changed on the birth certificate, no matter if they’re adopted
