Confirmation bias from other less educated members to prove his belief that 90% (luuuulz) are white. I doubt he'll find many who agree with them, or at least will publicly admit such.
Are "latinos" white now?

Just wait for someone to discredit them as not true spaniards or as "immigrants" while these blond haired blue eyed people over here are totally SpanishRandom sampling of Spanish people on the BBC website:

Oh for crying out loud.
As a white latin man myself I can tell you we are a pretty diverse people.
We even have *gasp* asian latinos.
This race thing feels so medieval.

As far as I know, the majority of the population of Argentina is of European ancestry and not mixed with Amerindian. That is a fact. I think the same is true of Uruguay, Paraguy, and a little less so in Chile and Brazil. Mexico on the the other hand, the majority of the population is mestizo.
Now Spain, as far as my world history knowledge has throughout it's history been mostly white except for the time the Moors invaded.
I was referring to your earlier comment when you stated that Louis CK's father is not Mexican.

I never said anything about Louis CK.
Nearly all people in South America have European ancestors. This includes the people who don't look white.

Spaniards ^
I'm not sure race even actually exists lol
Not 90%, but a high percentage, yes. How is that weird? Argentina and Uruguay are known for having lots of European immigrants, so lots of people there look completely European, but are Latin because of the geographical location they were born in.

There's your self fulfilled prophecy, DanteFox.
But I thought you wanted Latino to be considered a race?
Well Spain, unlike a place like Sicily went through a "cleansing" process and kicked out any person of Jewish or Moorish descent. Even natives that were converts. So today if you look at the genes of 4paniards and the Portuguese you'll find that they have some of the "oldest" genetics in Europe. Mostly from pre-Roman times iirc.
Which is?
I find it absolutely hilarious how so many white people are obsessed with being white.

The "latino" moniker is really the same as the "American" moniker. As in, it doesn't describe an ethnic group, it describes a nationality type.
So yes latinos can be "white" they can also be black, aaian and other lesser known groups. Latino is as much as a racial group as "Canadian".
This thread is dumb.
It doesn't, but I'm sure someone will chime in with how it does. And chances are high they'll pull some phrenology type BS into it.

So in more than 700 years Moors and Spaniards didn't intermarry? (They did)
I always thought they regarded themselves as "brown", hence the "brown pride" phrase, many have that even tatted such as Cain Velasquez
The 'Brown Pride' thing is kind of an offshoot of the Chicano movement from the 60s.
It scares me how racially-motivated "science" is still going on and how some otherwise intelligent folks will slobber all over studies that "prove" those ugly non-white people are worse than whites in some way.

When I have to fill out a question asking for race, I always see the options 1) white 2) Hispanic/Latino (not white). Never an option for both.

Very little. Genetics show that intermarriage was not very common, probably because Christians lived in segregated neighbourhoods and blood feuds ran for centuries. It is believed that most North African markers are considerably older and probably related to the Phoenicians.
Again, this is not true.

So am I. High five!
Having a white American of German descent father and a Peruvian mother did that to him, yes. In any case, the way he looks and other people look might have nothing to do with where they are from and how they identify ethnically.
OP clearly can't differentiate between an agenda pushed by the media in a particular case, and the identification of dozens of millions of people around the world that he tries to define under one racially-oriented label, when such label is being misused and is not representative of someone's skin color.

While this is true, it only ever seems to be highlighted by the press when there's a crime commited against a black individual and then the public end up perceiving it as a 'white vs black' story based on past events and assumptions around the word 'minority.'

Wasn't there three basic races, africoid (African), caucasoid (European) and mongoloid (Asian)?
Latinos would probably fall into white or maybe even Asian under this idea.

Well, there you go. There is some racial diversity that I see (the second person looks Indian from India), but none of them are what most people would call "white", IMO.
Also that last guy is rocking some crazy eyes.

Yes that is true, there are only three skull types.
North Indians, Middle Easterns, Mediterranean people etc are all caucasoids who originally came from Europe, whatever differences you see between them is a result of inter mixing with the native population and the result of the adaptation to the location over many many years.
Of course today the term Caucasian is simply used to refer to white people, which in itself is quite funny because when you look at it from a certain perspective the people from say somewhere like Italy are not really the same as the people from England or Scandinavian countries, yet they are all categorized as the "white race"..
