A majority of hispanics in the US identify as white. I guess being a Democratic racist, CJ wouldn't be willing to accept people as white unless they're pure:
... A recent analysis of data from the 2010 census has found that more Hispanics are identifying as white. Since 1980 the U.S. Census bureau has classified Hispanics as an ethnic group who can belong to any race--white, black, Native American, etc. But for decades the bulk of Latinos chose to identify as "other." The 2010 census form, however, directed Hispanics to choose a specific racial category.
The outcome has been a 6 percent rise in the U.S. white population, with the amount of Hispanics identifying as white jumping from 48 percent in 2000 to 53 percent in 2010. Most of the Latinos who self-categorized as white lived in California, Texas, Florida and New York. Meanwhile, the amount of Hispanics who checked the "some other race" box declined from 42 to 37 percent.
