I know where your coming from. Many times a Hispanic person will have the same comlplexion and features as someone from the Mediterranean. Considering that most Argentines are of Italian and Spanish origin, you probably notice that. However some countries have populations that look very sub-saharan African (Dominican Republic, for example) or Native American (Mexico, for example). Since the 1st Hispanics in the US were Mexicans (via the takeover of the SW) that didn’t look white, that’s probably how Hispanic became a ‘race’. What I don’t understand is that a Puerto Rican will be considered ‘Hispanic’ and sometimes a Spaniard will be considered ‘White’ even though they’re the original Hispanics.
