Hispanics value whiteness and often identify primarily as whites. It's an interesting situation, watching the "melting pot" work.

Yes, I've lived in Mexico and you can usually see that their social rank is tied to their whiteness. I stood beside the effigy of the ex-president of Mexico (who was Pepsi CEO) in Ripley's D.F. Museum and barely came up to his shoulders. The man was huge and white.
