A common connotation to the various definitions of "White" people, is that the term refers to people of northern European descent.
Despite differences in ancestry from one Latin American to another, North Americans tend to label all such people — from the Southwestern United States and Mexico to Central America, South America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean — as well as Spaniards, as Hispanic, often erroneously giving it a "racial" value.
Furthermore, while many South Asians are also anthropologically caucasoid, with varying complexions —and recognized as such by the United States Supreme Court—not only are they also excluded from the popular definition of "White", but US government agencies further categorise them as "Asians", be they Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Muslims, Christians or Indian Jews.

Penguins are popular around the world owing to their harmless nature, their upright stance for standing and walking, which humans find charming or comical, and their striking fl and white plumage that is often humorously likened to a tuxedo suit.
