Yes, i would automatically assume they would be. BUT! to stop the stereotyping there are ALOT and i mean ALOT of WHITE Hispanics. So people cannot easily assume they're Spaniards either. Usually you can tell from a persons' accent. I hate to sound this way but Spaniards have a lisp. Cubans and Puerto Ricans speak a little too fast and don't necessarily pronounce the r's. Mexicans speak slow. and as for Central American and South Americans they speak alot faster as well, and some with a lisp like the Spaniards.

Mexicans and the rest of latin americans are all made up of different races which means that they all have different appereances. americans think that mexico is the only spanish speaking country in the world and that all mexicans are dark skinned and all look the same. they really have no idea... u dont have to be from spain or mexico to speak spanish there are also central, caribbean, and south american countries with spanish as their official language. and u also cant assume what language some one speaks because of the way they look.
