Yes, she was speaking to the Hispanic Student Union.

All members of (insert race and ethnicity) Student Unions do not have to be of that particular race and ethnicity. However, whether they are Hispanic or not wasn't the topic that she was supposed to be discussing. LOL. Basically saying "are all of you Hispanic? Some Asians and Hispanics look similar. I get called Asian sometimes" was the most random thing ever. It not only screams idiot but it also screams "white person desperately searching for a way to converse with and relate to racial and ethnic minorities."
