    Latina people are white , Colombia is the best example , were most of the Latina people like to identify as white over mestizo or black identity.

    Most of the Latina people identify more as white than black or mestizo

    Well. They think they're white. Whiteness isn't just something someone can identify as, it's a condition imposed by white supremacy and it's contingent on the political moment. A lot of leopards-eating-faces moments come when they find out that their whiteness in Colombia is non-transferable to whiteness in the US. If the white supremacists decide having English as a second language or having a dark-skinned grandparent makes someone non-white then their skin color won't actually protect them.
