On the US census, “hispanic” is not a race; it’s an “ethnicity”. So your daughter will be faced with the choice of selecting a “race” and then also choosing “hispanic” or “non-hispanic.” Many other surveys use the same scheme.

How your daughter makes these decisions is up to her. As a social construct, race is what we humans make of it. 100 years ago, Irish and Italians were often not “white.”
