While that is technically true for US Census and similar purposes, the social treatment of “Hispanic or Latino” is more like that of “race” groups. While many “Hispanic or Latino” people may also mark “white” on the US Census form, that is not protective against social or political hostility based on being “Hispanic or Latino” (such hostility including flight from neighborhoods that they move into). Hence, treating “Hispanic or Latino” as not “white” for the purpose of the study is reflective of the actual social dynamics of what is being studied.

I am Latino, and I completely disagree with you. I identify as a white Latino.

Correlation does not imply causation. I read the abstract of the paper, and I think the author works hard to ascribe racism as the main reason. I don’t agree with his findings either.
