Jeb Bush called himself Hispanic in a 2009 voter registration form

Via the New York Times:

In a 2009 voter-registration application, obtained from the Miami-Dade County Elections Department, Mr. Bush marked Hispanic in the field labeled “race/ethnicity.”

A Bush spokeswoman could offer no explanation for the characterization.

Um, what?

@JebBush’s Spanish is not horrible but that doesn’t make him “hispanic” (whatever that means).
