What a lot of these charts fail to account for is that a lot of “hispanics” are......wait for it......White.
A lot of them will openly tell you they are White and look White to everybody else. But they will definitely check the box as “hispanic” since it brings benefits like easier admissions, more government aid, etc.
A cousin of one of my friends married a girl who was Hitler’s aryan ideal. She’s a blue eyed blonde. Her dad was from Indiana. Her mom was from Venezuela (obviously of European ancestry). She could and did claim to be “hispanic”.
My niece married a White guy from Chile and a sister married a White guy from Brazil. All the kids will of course claim to be “hispanic”.
About 50% of Hispanics self-describe as white. That said, there are plenty of government incentives to being Hispanic. By 2043 non-Hispanic whites will be 50%, down from 89% in 1970. Demography is destiny.
