Well said, dm2850.  All the geniuses who are obsessed with using the "s/he may have Indian heritage but so does Johnny Depp and he's white" or "drop 'em off in France/Spain/etc and they won't look out of place" arguments could learn a lot from your post.  Though it's not as though people of that mindset are very likely to learn much even if they do.  They aren't fans of neutrality when it comes to this topic.  Shame that so many White Latinos have such a chip on their shoulder over this relatively obscure "false racial value" issue exclusive to the U.S., even though they have social advantages in every other way.
