re: Are Spaniards white?

It depends. There are black Spaniards as well as white Spaniards.

One time my wife argued with me for over an hour telling me I was wrong for calling someone from Spain a Hispanic. She was adamant that only people from Mexico and parts south were Hispanic and no one else. Her argument was they were European. To which I said "yes they are, but they are also Hispanic". I had to wait on her to Google it for herself before she conceded. And she still tried to say Google was wrong for a while.
