In my opinion, “the West” is (nearly) a synonym of “the imperial core”. I have met a lot of non-white people who live in “the West” and embody a lot of what I hate about “white people” (the selfishness, for example). My point is that apart from people who actively fight against it (most leftists, for example), people who live in the West in general adhere to, follow, promote, etc, Capitalist Ideology. This is less the case for those living in the Global South (in my experience).

    I remember somebody here predicted that in 100 years or so, some Hispanics could be deemed “white” people.

    There is no such thing as a hispanic race. There are many white "hispanics". The people that most picture in their minds as "hispanic" are mestizos, but a very, very significant percentage of people living in many latam countries and who are still considered "hispanic" are not mestizos, they are just white, or black, or whatever. Americans get confused usually because Mexico is almost entirely mestizo and that's most of the latam people they know, but for instance Uruguay is almost 90% white people, and Argentina is also predominantly white Europeans.

    So the prediction is wrong because it is already the case.
