Well to be honest... this doesn't really surprise me.
Mainly because when you say "Spanish" - I think of people who are descended from Spain by at most just a couple of generations. And many Spaniards are considered white.
Now if you mean "Hispanic" that's different since it tends to mean peoples descended from mixed Spanish and other cultures from South America.
I mention this distinction because many Spaniards do not like being considered Hispanic since they are in fact European.
That and I'm also reminded of the Filipino culture. Most pinoy I know are VERY keen on pointing out they have *Spanish* heritage and balk at being called Hispanic.
Is it normal that I'm spanish and I only like white men?
