Unless they self-identify as something else, the government will count them as white. They can be 100% Indian. I assume that most South American mestizos, however dark, don't identify as American Indian over here.
On the 2020 census it first asks if you're hispanic, and then asks for race making a note that hispanic is not a race. My belief is that they due this to falsely inflate white crime and population numbers.
That's typical of the way the government records things. I guess you could argue they are being the best kind of correct. "Hispanic" is not a race. Mestizo = European + American Indian could be. Most Hispanics would be biracial of those two races, although plenty are white and pure Indians probably exist somewhere. I have no idea what they check in practice.

White USA should say hispanic or latino or even wiggers.

Yeah, I have a feeling that green spot on the graph is also accounting for our "white hispanic" population

Ask any Mexican if they're Indian and they'll be offended. Ask them if they're white and they'll be offended.

So what do they consider themselves?

Hispanic. You might not think they're a race, but they do.
