Will Hispanics become Whites? interesting article

[Thegoodshepherd]

The writer argues that Hispanics and Asians will become white and assimilate with mainstream America. White as a racial category maybe here to stay as Hispanics and Asians join to gain the prestige whiteness carries. A very different take to most articles that talk of a majority-minority america being the future.

Some Hispanics look white-ish, but letting Asian joins that category is laughable. They obviously don't look white.

Most Hispanics look brown Mestizo. If Hispanics become white they might as well allow Arabs to become white.

In Mexico for example only 10-15% are white. The other 90% are Mestizos and Indian natives.

Mexicans/Mestizos will never be considered "White", they've practically created their own race based on a combination of Aztec & Spaniard ancestry, although they emphasise the Aztec/indigenous side more. Idk about other hispanics, i'm guessing some Cubans would have an easier time assimilating into the White race because they're primarily of Spanish ancestry.
