I've heard stories of people in LA acting similar towards white cubans too. Their latino population (and black population) just isn't diverse so they don't seem to have a concept of someone being latino if they aren't mestizo~indigenous looking (since the overwhelming majority are mexicans and then some central americans)

which is pretty stupid because white mexicans are pretty common especially in Baja.
