I never heard of anyone saying that hispanics were a 'race'. There are hispanics of all shades and backgrounds. Why would Greeks get mad if someone said they weren't white? I don't get offended when black American customers sometimes call me "sister" and such. But then there are Cubans who hate being called chicanos,and all that stuff.

Ahem. Because we are. No less so than Italians. Greek and Italian bloodlines have intermixed for millenia.
