Ironically, being "just as white" has nothing to do whether a minority or not. My wife is from Latin America and her family lived there for generations. But is just as white as can be and family heritage ultimately is from Portugal and Italy. But she is considered a Latino. (Didn't even speak English at all until came to US at age 19.) Our children, as white as can be but officially classified as Latino. Even considered dual-citizens of a particular Latin American country and have passports from that country.
Being white or not is not the bottom line on being a minority. May not seem fair, but those are the rules set up when it comes to being white Latino.
