They weren't, ever. They were called 'Hispanics', denoting the 'not white' status.
Mexicans also chose on their own to classify themselves as "Latin" or "Hispanic" to change their status from basic white as they had always been classified, to their own "Latin" feel. This is good in a way because it shows the world that there is more to life than just being "white" or any race. It may have been seen as an insult to the so called "white" that the Mexicans did not want to be considered general "White" but that is not the intention. Every person is their own custom "race" for that matter. No two people are alike
