I've never met a white guy named Enrique.
What about the famous singer Henry Churches?
This tells me you aren't familiar with white heritage racism in the US
Anything mediterranean isn't white in traditional American Racism(tm). In fact, even Irish people weren't considered completely white for the longest time.
The thing about the whole "us vs them" mentality is that you can always go more specific about who "us" is until you've got like 5 superior human beings and everyone else is subhuman.
It never made sense and never will. That's racism for you.
Just need to know where to look.
I know a white guy named Emilio!
I would like you to meet Enrique Iglesias
His mom is Filipina, not white
His mom is not white, he is.
