If Mexicans and Brazilians and every other area colonized by Portugal and Spain are considered not white, I can’t say that Columbus would be considered white. He was Portuguese sailing under the Spanish flag. If anything we could argue Italian… but they werent considered white in America until almost the 50s

Edit: Look at Florida, Spanish name, Spanish flag origins, yet people coming from Puerto Rico and Mexico speaking Spanish are considered non-white and receive hate for speaking Spanish
