Similar to Noel Ignatiev's How the Irish Became White is "how the 'white Hispanics' became/become white."

Agreed.
Although, in my opinion, even dark Hispanics will eventually assimilate into "whiteness" as well.. It's already happening. Might take a little bit longer than the lighter hispanics.

I shouldn't have because it also applies to the Laotian and Vietnamese within my workforce. Going to a Laotian Buddhist Temple celebration next weekend because a Laotian lady wants to set me up with someone. I will oblige.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
