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.
