That is because hispanic is not a separate race according to the census it is an ethnicity. There are white hispanics and black hispanics, etc.

I understand and reject that reasoning. When you're mapping diversity, put me and my pasty-white Anglo-Dutch ancestry and my neighbors who grew up in Mexico in different categories.

And that is your right, you can make your own map, the census is freely available. It isn't a 'diversity' map, it is a map showing census data for race, income, household size and age, not ethnicity.
