Portrayal of Spaniards in 'Lost Cities of the Amazon'

From what I learned in my classes for counseling Mexicans are considered Caucasian because most of their ancestors came from Europe such as Spain, Italy, France,and the British Isles. They usually vehemently deny this and say they are Mexican as if it was a separate race. The only true separate race would be if they have Native American in them which is a separate race. Unfortunately these days people with Latino last names refuse to accept their European roots and there are other people in the world who have the same names. THose would be the Philipinos. They were controlled by Spain for close to if not more than 400 years.They are Asian, again a separate race.As to the "Hispanic" look everyone in the known world emigrated to the New World and as a result the gamut of looks runs from blonde to black hair, very light to very dark skin, and all heights and facial features. When George Takei picked strawberries as a teen the owners of the field who were Japanese assumed he was Mexican since there are some in Mexico who look Japanese. He told this story in his autobiography.
