Would you consider a latino + white couple an interracial couple? The categories to select from are white, Asian, and black - after that there’s typically a question to identify if a person is Hispanic.
White and black is just a product of the USA slave system.
In Spanish territory they had:
Peninsulares (Spaniards born in Spain)
Creoles (born in New Spain of Spanish parents)
Mestizos (born of Spanish and Indigenous Peoples parents)
Indigenous Peoples
Enslaved persons (brought from Africa and the Caribbean)
What is considered in a race changes over time. Hell, at times Jews and Irish weren’t considered white. Just dirty “others”. It’s only when the top caste hold on things is challenged do they let others join the ruling group.
