White Hispanic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A White Hispanic or White Latino is an American of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity who is white.
In the most recent census (2000) 17 million Hispanics, a plurality of 48%, self-identified as white.[1] Most are Mexican American, Cuban American, Argentine American, Chilean American or Spanish American.
White Hispanics are often overlooked in the mass media, where being "Hispanic" usually means being mestizo, of mixed Amerindian and European descent.
