Arguably yes, but why I thought this was an interesting question is that this could be said about a lot of Hispanic people whose descent is mostly or entirely Spanish.

In the US, he would be considered both Hispanic and White. In Canada, he would be considered "Latin American," which is one of the categories under "Visible Minorities."

I mean, if we are going down the rabbit hole of Nineteenth Century racial ideas, we gotta separate Northern and Southern Italians, haha.

Joke's on you, Antonio is both of them at once (in fact, Northernmost and Southernmost arguably).

He's medigan, or a wonder-bread wop. Someone who eats their Sunday gravy outta the jar.

Not quite.  If you are White Latin American (i.e. if you tick off both White and Latin American) you're not counted as Latin American VM.  Most Argentinian Canadians are not classified as VMs since most are "white" (63%).  However the Latin American category is confusing.

Speakers of Celtic, Romance, and Slavic languages are inherently not white. And only some of the Germanic languages make the cut.

No, but his father left Italy to escape the literal/OG Fascists and that anti-fascism clearly rubbed off on Jorge Mario. That makes him Woke/one of the good ones an ally of PoC.
