I teach at an institution that is nearly all Hispanic. Many consider themselves (racially) to be "white." US Census has a peculiar way of handling this:
This blog discusses how we improved the census questions on race and Hispanic origin, also known as ethnicity, between 2010 and 2020.

Hispanics are not considered a race, but a complex category. Further, some Hispanics (not considering themselves to be a race or a particular color) are racist against other PoC and against particular religious groups.
At any rate, we have gang issues in Los Angeles and one of them is that *some* Hispanic gang members view Blacks as their sworn enemy and we've had one student murdered in the past 10 years (black student specifically targeted by Hispanics in what was eventually deemed a gang related shooting. The deceased student and his mother were both in my classes. She launched an awareness campaign around this issue.
At any rate, white-identifying Hispanics do exist (and some Hispanics have blue eyes and light skin). But racism is learned in any case, and some Hispanic-identifying people are taught racism at home; others fall into it via the Internet. Some are enraged that other people regard them, too, as PoC (esp. if they have an accent, even with blue eyes).
It's complex. Humans are capable of holding wildly contradictory beliefs, which swim through their minds in succession.
IMO.
