Are these cities taking on a demographic representation of the global population?

For international comparisons it would be better to compare American metros or urban areas against world urban areas as minorities can be concentrate in or out of the city limits and some places have larger or smaller city limits relative to metro size.

Umm, I think better phrased is many hispanics look like white people. There's some overlap, obviously.

White is a race not a culture. Tacos and Mexican music are cultural things not racial things. However, most Hispanic in the US today are partially white racially due to their Spanish ancestors.

Default White?

If a white person of Germanic ancestory eats tacos, listens to salsa music, drinks Modello Negro beer and speaks Spanish is he still white?

The question in the OP is "still have. . . ". Some of the cities people have been mentioning never were >50% white, e.g. Hong Kong, Beijing, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, etc.
