I’ve seen this firsthand when I worked at Dick’s Sporting Goods helping people with gun purchases. When Hispanic/Latinos filled out the applications, their go-to choice of race was “white.” There should definitely be a separate choice for indigenous-descended Hispanics, e.g. the ones who often come from Mexico. Even if they were to be included in a group that also included Native Americans/Alaska Natives, I think that would be appropriate.
