Multiracial Americans
A typical Latino American family may have members with a wide range of racial phenotypes, meaning a Hispanic couple may have children who look white and African and/or Native American and/or Asian. Latino Americans have several self-identifications; most Latinos identify as white in terms of race, while others identify as black and/or Native American and/or Asian. Latinos who do not want to identify as one of those identify simply as Hispanic and/or "some other race" as their race.
Definitions of whiteness in the United States
In the 2000 U.S census, around half of all persons of Mexican or Mexican American origin in the U.S. checked "white" to register their race (in addition to stating their Mexican national origin). Mexican Americans are the largest white Hispanic group in the United States.
