Many racial categorizations for Hispanics have two defining categories: Hispanic non-white and Hispanic non-black

What you have highlighted in your post is one of the major concerns of crime incident, arrest, and incarceration data broken down by demographics. However, even with the new immigration and the fact that many Hispanics can also be black (or white), black males comprise a larger (and disproportionate) % of incarcerated persons as compared to white males. Much of this has to do with the war on crack cocaine and gun violence.
Why are we not calling many hispanics what they really are -- native Americans..

That's at least true for those of Aztec descent.
