People from India are "white" yet I've seen some who are darker than people who call themselves "black". There isn't really such a thing as race --- race or color is a spectrum but a spectrum that goes off in all directions.
I don't, but my daughter did, more or less, (more like the one on the left actually) when they were that age. The older one now speaks fluent Spanish, fluent enough to royally chew out the local manager of a Mexican affiliate of Greyhound, and get letters of apology from the head of that affiliate and from the regional US manager as well. :) (And that was while she was only a student, now she's a lawyer). The younger one is completing her first year teaching. She speaks some Spanish as well, and is picking up the "Mother tongue" (German which forms a significant part of their ancestry from both sides) from her boyfriend who is of Irish ancestry. Both girls have Gaelic names, even though there is no known Irish ancestry in either my wife's or my families.
OTOH, when I asked a Swedish exchange student who I once dated what I looked like, that is what she would think I was if she ran into me in Europe, and she said "American". I can live with that! It's just as well, since there are large gaps in my knowlege of my ancestory anyway. Both grandfathers were adopted, and we have reason to believe the maternal one may have had a large chunk of Spanish ancestory. (his middle name of Carlos for example :) )
