For a while in America only Europeans of Anglo-Celtic / Germanic stock were considered white, many old stock Americans hold this view to this day.

No, this is a lie. [All Europeans have always been White by definition](https://media.communities.win/post/IeiXIkMGjFia.jpeg).

That's interesting, but disregarding census data and speaking of personal view, many Americans do hold this view, I've heard people lump Spaniards and Portuguese together with Mexican mestizos.

Have these people been to Spain or Portugal?
I doubt the people you're referring to know what a Spanish or Portuguese person look like.

Do you think [these people](https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2018/05/21/12/spain-squad.jpg) wouldn't pass as White?

Depending to whom you ask, some people wouldn't consider some of those guys white, even if we exclude the ignorant Americans who can't tell he difference between Spain and South America, some people don't consider the average Iberians white because of the Moorish invasion. Same with Greeks and the Ottomans occupation. There are many Iberians/Italians/Greeks who look perfectly white but there are also many who are indistinguishable from Middle easterns/Turks, even when they don't decend from recent immigrants.

Moors and Ottomans were most likely what today we would consider White. Again, ignorance of history brings people to think that everyone on the wrong side of the Mediterranean was a sandnigger.

But yes, it depends on the person. You can't infer the race of a person from his nationality.

In fact, a quick search online shows me that around 16% of Spanish people have blue eyes, and also around 10% of Turks have blue eyes (probably descendants of the White women they kidnapped).

A person with blue eyes is definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, White as blue eyes means you have a substantial amount of Nordic / Germanic genes.

Then of course a lot of White people don't have blue eyes, so I'd say the vast majority of Spanish/Portuguese/Greeks are White and a decent percentage of Turks too.
