You're telling me that guy at the very back of the truck bed isn't white? I have a darker tan than that guy and I'm white as Wonderbread (German/Irish/Danish heritage).

Yet they accept RFK Jr, a man who looks like he's been creosoted, as one of their own.

There are multiple white folks in the photo... Even right in the center of the photo

Latino isn't a skin color, and some of them are white. In Europe, almost no one questions the whiteness of the Spanish and Portugese.

My aunt was from Spain and she used to go ballistic whenever anybody would call her hispanic or Latina. "I'm European!"

I think most people nowadays mean Latin Americans with Lationos. Otherwise you'd also have to throw in the Italians, the French, the Romanians, half of the Belgians and bunch of Africans.
