Well I guess if you were discussing the source of his genetic material I'd say yeah he does possess "white" characteristics (as well as "black" ones).
Quite so, quite so, that's why no one says he's the first black president of the US, and why he's referred to as "white" as much as "black." Mulattos are commonly known as white, it is known. And "Hispanic" only refers to the country of origin, as well, of course, it makes perfect sense -- when crime statistics list "black", "white" and "hispanic" it's just the country of origin, just like white people come from the White Country and black people come from the Black Country. I mean, that's got to be it, right? Otherwise it'd be like "apples", "oranges" and "race cars."
Mexicans and other latinos, and the Spanish, have an obsession about being white. Not unique to them, of course, Filipinos etc also think the whiter you are the better, even discriminating within their own "race" against people with minutely darker skin (aforementioned Mexicans also do this), and the Spanish think Mexicans aren't white because there's some Native American mixed in there, but their own Arab and North African genes don't stop
them from being white, of course. It's hilarious because they're the ones attaching some superior value to white(r) skin, not most white people.
