Government forms do not use "Hispanic" as a race category. It is a separate ethnicity category.

You select your race and then indicate if you are also Hispanic.

Here is a link to the US Census description, for your edification:

You are correct about your main point. But incorrect, I suspect, about your statement that the majority of Hispanics in the US are white. Don't know what relevance you ascribe to that though.

No need to suspect anything. We have loads of data on this.

That's the problem with the way the US does race and ethnicity statistics. Self-reporting.

Apparently the moment they start to be born in the US, they turn white xD

They might be white and something else. Before the 70's there was no differentiation for Hispanics, so it might be more accurate to say that they all turned Hispanic in the 70's.
