No, they don't. In fact, a lot of Latinos that are white like Ricky Ametin aren't even perceived as white. "Latino" takes precedence for him.

I think the whole debate on that is kind of irrelevant though, because aside from those who pass White like Christina Aguilera, you still don't have the White privilege. So I mean say Latino isn't a race and you're basically white all you want, but

Plenty of them "pass white" as they are white. Have you seen the average Argentine person? And they definitely have some sort of white privilege. It's no coincidence that most of the more educated and privileged Latin Americans are white while the black and indigenous ones tend to be the poorest.
