"Africa begins at the Pyrenees," as they once said. But they no longer say that, so why are you asking?

Because people on this forum have actually said otherwise. For example krazen has tried to pass half-Portuguese Pat Toomey off as a non-white Republican member of the Senate.

They are technically hispanic, which gives them minority set asides for some reason.

But everyone who isn't as ignorant as Gully Foyle knows that Hispanic is not a separate race on the Census.

     My mom (1/2 Spanish) identifies as this on the Census. She has pushed me to do the same, but I don't.

They are Hispanic and white, because Hispanic is not a race. In other words, yes.

This.  Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race (same goes for Jewish.)

"White" is a made-up concept that we as a species would be better off abolishing altogether.

But to answer the question in the context society has forced upon us, yes, of course. I don't think I would classify them as Hispanic though -- doesn't that only apply to Latin Americans?

Yes, and they're not Hispanic either. I think to be Hispanic you need at least one drop of Amerindian blood.
