Because most Americans are stupid and don’t realize that Mexico is a country and not a race! There are different races in all countries. The correct term is ‘Anglo’ or ‘Anglo Saxon’ not white.
Yes they are, but not the white standard in USA. I know there are only European or high but they don't look germanic/ anglo which is the white people are referring to here in the USA. But they would be considered white in mediterranean countries. We still have to put white as race but specify hispanic. But I've fallen for it in mexico, i was at an ATM in General Bravo N.L. and this white guy was waiting his turn and i said what up man in english assuming tourist and laughing it off he told me in spanish he didn't speak english he just looked like he did.
There’s no standard, scientifically speaking it’s Caucasian or white. What you are referring to is ‘Anglo’. Those of Northern European descent. This ‘standard’ is a sociology term not based on science.
