    Could be mestizo... or creole (white ethnic spanish born in Latine America)

    I mean, Latines are not a race, but an all-encompassing group of Lusophones and Espanyophones in Latine America, of varying races...

      That is true, but the vast majority of Americans do not think in these terms. Because of that, many Latines who'd be considered white in Latin America arguably lack white privilege, or have it to a lesser extent than Anglos.

      My point is this guy is likely not viewed as white by his community.

      Also, as far as white privilege can go, arrested and charged white heroin dealers do not typically (and never explicitly) get off scot free for being white, but this guy faced 0 consequences explicitly because he is in the military.

        Well, now'd that I think of it, I thought more of the technicalities rather than the social construct of his status...
