I was once told by an ethnically Japanese person who was born in Mexico (and when he spoke English he sounded like a Mexican national) that his hardware and software didn't match.
What Americans consider "white" is not fixed. Jews are white or not depending on the time and context. Cubans would be considered Latino or something today, and yet the most popular TV show of the 50's (I Love Lucy) featured an American woman married to a Cuban man at a time when interracial marriage would never have been shown on TV.
There are both white and black Cubans. No one would have considered that to be any more interracial than if a White Canadian married a White American.
And how do you tell the difference between a black and a white Cuban?
