I've said before and I'll say again that many people in the category now known as "Hispanics" will be considered "white ethnics" by 2040 or so, as "white" as Greeks or Lebanese or Turks are considered in the US are now. This obviously isn't a universal thing, heavily Native people like Guatemalans and the obviously black Latinos are a different matter, but the day will come when a person whose ancestors have lived in the USA since 1970 who has a name like "Hector Lopez" won't be considered "non-white" in any serious way.
EDIT: Also, the above reflects my view on the prediction of a "minority-majority" USA. The definition of whiteness will expand to include many now considered non-white and the white majority will be "preserved."
