There is a perception that all hispanics in the US are brown skinned. I'm certainly not and neither is my blonde haired blue eyed brother.
As for the photo that guy is suspect as a latino!

Here in Texas, blonde and red-haired Hispanics are everywhere.

NYC and Miami are packed with Afro-Hispanics.

Only uninformed people believe that Hispanics are all brown!

Hey if you can't garner support among minorities why not lie about and pay people to hold up a sign. I'm surprised Cheeto isn't there for the photo op.

I’m sure Cameron Diaz, Louie CK, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Alba, Bruno Mars, Soledad O’Brien, and even the dearly departed Rita Hayworth would all have a great laugh at OP’s extreme foolishness, were they members of C-D.

Hispanics come in different colors. Consider yourself schooled.

As I said earlier, I don’t know what his particular ethnicity is. I live among a lot of blonde Hispanics here in Texas, so I’d look like an azz if I made a guess.

True but I think it's stretching it when some people call themselves Latino solely on the basis that they had a great great-grandmother that was of Mexican ancestry etc. It's not just about hair color or skin color.

Don't assume! This girl, Sara Paxton, is 1/2 latino:

They were traditionally considered white before they became "hispanics" or "Latinos" - especially in Texas and South West history.
