BD, check this out:

Hispanics are not white. The law was changed to say so. I didn't know this either, or the lobbies behind this until a few days ago. Source

The original LULAC declared ''Mexican-Americans'' to be ''white,'' a part of the same race as European-Americans, and successfully lobbied both the federal and Texas governments to officially classify them as such. Nearly a quarter of a century later, LULAC's position changed. Beginning with Hernandez v. Texas in 1954 and finalized in OMB Directive No. 15 in 1977, LULAC succeeded in having the federal government recognize ''Mexicans,'' and all ''Hispanics,'' as separate from European-Americans and essentially ''non-white'' so as to be eligible for affirmative action programs.

Does that mean that Spain is no longer part of Europe? What about Italians? I'm looking for some reparations here.
