So what would he be in this country? Thus why the term "hispanic" needs to be dropped IMO.

Not only that - he LIVES in a hispanic country, unlike all the La Raza types who are living in the USA unwilling to live in their own hispanic countries.

Hispanic or Latino, yellow or brown - Fujimori went to jail for 25 years.

And one hispanic and one not hispanic. But they look like twins separated at birth.

Hispanic and Latin are not the same.

Making sense of these classifications is a pointless endeavor.

I am more of a cream color, and if I'm in the sun too much, more of a ruddy.

The only two 'white people' I ever knew of was Michael Jackson, Johnny and Edgar Winter.

It's not even cultural as a "hispanic" can be 100% USA-American, English speaking and as culturally American as apple pie.

It's also not really true that the culture of for example Argentina and Guatemala is the same, or that of Puerto Rico and Mexico is the same culture. The food isn't even the same.
