If so, would you consider ethnic whites (Catholic, Italian, Irish, Eastern European whose families arrived here within the last century, etc) as a different racial or cultural grouping from "whites" (meaning those of German, English or Danish origin who are Protestant and whose families go back centuries in this country)?

And then, if so, what is the difference between an ethnic white, and a Hispanic person?

I'll give you an example of what I mean:


This is my grandfather and his sister circa the 1940s. Would they have been considered white then? Would you guess by appearance alone that they might be white now?
