Hispanics are White people too, dummy.[/quote]

No.  Some are white.  Most are a mix of white and indigenous.  Some are black (often Dominican and Cuban), and there are occasional Asians (esp. in Peru).

Maybe don't call others "dummy" if you don't know what you are talking about[/quote]

The usual term used to differentiate non-Hispanics (or non-Latinos, if you prefer that term) is to call them "Anglos" - so, if you wanted to make the point that the PP made, you'd say "Hispanic people learn not to bring siblings to Anglo parties."  
Where I grew up, people just said "gringo," though.  And there were degrees of gringo...like if you served Doritos and Pace salsa and said "Hasta la Vista" like Arnold Schwarzenegger, that was SUPER gringo.  (But also where I grew up, no one used the word Latino and I think only newscasters really said Hispanic...you were Mexican, Indian, or Gringo, or some big mashup of two or more of those categories.)

No one says Anglo in colloquial speech. [/quote]
