Are you Spanish?

It was a slow day in the cafe where I was working and a little boy, who looked to be about 11, stood there talking to me after he bought his candy. Somewhere in the conversation, he asked me if I was "Spanish", and I said, "No, I'm black." He said, "You don't look black." I said, "Well, I am." He then looked at my curly hair for a few seconds. "Do you have a weave in your hair?" He asked.

Apparently "Spanish" people could have curly hair, but black people couldn't.
