White is not a race, it is a large ethnic group, also generally known as European. Europeans are a part of the Caucasian race (but are not the only ones who make up the race of Caucasian as Middle Easterners, Indians, Latinos, are also considered a part of the race). Native Spaniards are European and therefore would be considered part of the Caucasian race.

yes people from Spain are white. Spain is in Europe next to France. latin Americans are not full spanish they are mixed,they just speak spanish due to the spanish conquests of the Americas.

Well, actually I think that if you explore what it means to be "white", then the answer above is not detailed enough.

If you accept the definition that being white means being Caucasian, then people from Spain are certainly white. Spanish people are descendant from northern Europeans as well as north Africans. Remember that the north African Moors (Arabs) ruled Spain for about 800 years. There was also a sizable population of Sephardi Jews and Gypsies (whose descendants were from the Indian subcontinent). All of these European as well as non-Europeans are generally considered Caucasian.

If you accept the definition of "white" as being from the northern European peoples, then Spanish people are mixed, and are not "white".

Remember that the European peoples have a history. They did not come from isolated islands of populations, at least not within the last thousand years. There was a lot of mixing in Europe, not just in Spain.

That being said, the majority people of Latin America are a mixture of mostly European (typically Spanish, but also German, French, Turkish etc) and some indigenous and African. There are, however many that have little or no indigenous ancestry and they can be classified as white. Argentina is an example, and there are many others in Latin America.

Yes, Spanish people are considered Caucasian. They are also considered Hispanic but not Latino, since they're from Spain instead of Latin America.

According to Hitler What other nations could be considered Aryan?

Hitler viewed people of Nordic European descent to be Aryan.

However, people all over the world could be considered Aryan, as long as they have a pure bloodline of Nordic European descent.
