This is B.S. It all comes down to how you define "white."

Are original Californio families "white?" Most would say so, and would strongly object to anyone suggesting otherwise.

Many Latinos are "white," and Asians are, for the most part, culturally "white."

These articles are written all the time, and they're really silly.

It's about culture, not ethnicity or skin color.

Got that straight. I personally know Hispanics whose skin is as white as mine. (whiter if I've been engaged in a lot of yard work)

Culture is the extension of ethnicity into the physical world.

Chinese culture is an extension of the Chinese and dictates what China is like, India is India because it is an extension of Indians.

If people were wholly interchangeable we'd have never gotten the disparity we see around the world in the first place.

Exactly! “White” has been redefined many times over the past century and a half. In the late 19th Century, immigrants from Southern and Southeastern Europe were not regarded as “White.”
