A significant amount of them are white.

There are some 'white' ones (75%+ Iberian) but full blooded whites outside the Cuban community or Tejanos is rare

If you’re talking about migrants to the US I agree. But Hispanics in general? There’s tens of millions of whites in South America. They’re spread all over but South-eastern Brazil, Uruguay & Argentina are probably more white than the USA at this point.

In South America all you have to be is part white to be considered white.

Many castizos are close enough to pass as white, sure but you could say that about any mixed group.

Regardless, there are tens of millions of full blooded white people there. The Spanish Empire had it’s own version of the Nuremberg laws called the Castas & it survived informally long after independence. Once the initial gender imbalance was corrected post-conquest, Criollo (Spanish) families had every incentive to have legitimate white children to carry on their family name.

On top of that there was also a second massive wave of mostly Italian & German migration in the late 19th century, especially to Argentina, Uruguay & southern Brazil. That’s why you see so many blonde haired blue eyed models from places like São Paulo.

Most white Americans think they are cherokee princesses so they are much the same.

Many pass as white, does that make them white? I guess it depends how you determine whiteness.

Certainly helps to look the part in most aspects of life.

Personally I think while the younger generations might qualify, there's too much Hispanic cultural influence overall still. When abuela is mostly just a memory of a strange elderly lady with odd customs they'll have assimilated.

To some, Hispanics will never fit into their ideals of whiteness, as you see sometimes also with Italians and slavs.

Do people consider Spanish people white?

Do people consider Spanish people white?

Yes, Spanish people are white. Genetic clusters demonstrate that.

Somewhat. At most around 20% are "white" by the US/Euro definition. The vast majority of immigration in the last three or four decades and presumably for the next decades have been/will be the mixed race underclasses.

Spaniards are White and evolved in Europe. You are confusing mestizos in the America's with Spaniards in Spain.

No? We are talking about "hispanics" in America which are mostly not white.
