Would you find it normal when someone in public would give a weird look when a white person says they're?
hispanic? I know I've seen in class back when I was in school that said he was from a South American country, and a white girl looked at him weird.
I know I would, they're still majority brown to me with different features though as with intra-races there is variations within the group rather than outside, sorry, this will always stay with people like me.
