I dated someone who was white Latina. She would only ever "use" that fact socially (ie. "Never get in an argument with a Latina" posts on Facebook). I never really interrogated her on it, but there was no indication she would ever invoke that to be considered a PoC.

I've never personally heard the term "white Asians", but I will ask what you think is racist about the term "white Latinos".

The problem is that while supposedly needing to "put an end" to racism, we're trying to further and further divide people into smaller racial boxes. Kinda a bit self-contradictory there.

It's only contradictory to someone who believes "an end to racism" is to eliminate all culture, ethnicity, and history. Basically the "I don't see race" fallacy.

I call them by their names, but when discussing their ethnicity/race, they're a mixture of both. Depending on a number of circumstances they may identify more closely with one or the other, or have no general preference to lean in either "direction."

The main difference you don't seem to understand in your comparison is that white and black are races, while latino is not.
