As a guy from Puerto Rico, then moved to Texas with my whole immediate family, I am someone who apparently passes for "white" in Puerto Rico yet passes for "brown" or "non-white" in the stateside of the US due to racial terms being very different here in the US from all of Latin America. Although it is true that the majority of us Latinos are racially mixed, Latinos tend to label their race by literally their skin color alone or which skin color they come close to rather than the more socially constructed standards of race in the US, that still uses this whole "One-Drop Rule" logic. Believe or not, in some Latin American countries, Barack Obama would surprisingly be labeled as "white".

Me being Puerto Rican, I won't deny that I have obvious racial mixtures judging by my facial structures. The funny thing is, my younger sister is lighter skinned than me with lighter hair color and could sometimes be mistaken for an Italian or Greek from some people. However, I do have one non-Latino purely white friend here in Texas, who was an ex-Neo Nazi (before anyone judges, he obviously isn't proud of his racist past and is trying to redeem himself and learned from his mistakes after being poorly misguide by the wrong crowd during his youth). He told me that while my sister is obviously very light-skinned or kinda pale, he and the White Supremacist group he used to affiliate with, would have known already that my sister isn't "purely" white because of some of her facial structures (that has a bit of a Black African and American Indian structure) are distinctive from your average, "purely" white person, especially here in the US or even in Europe.

Anyways, do you think the US govt should also add "Mestizo" and "Mulatto" in the race category of the US census, so most Latin American people won't feel a little forced or racially confused to label themselves as "white"?
