Whiteness Is never a consistent term there was a time that Southern Europeans weren't considered white in the USA but in Latin America it was clear that the Spanish and Portuguese saw themselves as white.
For the most part a lot of Americans think that Latin America is full of brown people (it is for the most part but other races exist to) but they seem to extend that to Southern Europe.
I'm aware that you know this its just crazy that most Americans don't which is odd because there are old people who lived back then who are alive now like my great granny I personally blame the lack of education on the subject.
Iin to be tired of all the white guilt propaganda?
