Spaniards are not white? How about Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Turks. Where do you draw the line. Are you maybe talking about native Central Americans?? There are two very distinct Spanish languages: American and European. However, Spanish is those people who are native of Spain. Have I missed something???

Having been around some, I believe there are more than two forms of Spanish, not including Mexican, from what I personally encountered. For example in Barcelona, Spain there's one form of Spanish that is not called Spanish. I asked the locals, and they said it was NOT like most know Spanish to be. (I claim exemption from HAVING to remember the name of the language as was not interested it taking up limited available space.) But, people in other places of Spain speak genuine Spanish....European Spanish for all I know. But not in Barcelona, Spain. I'm not well versed in languages as I barely speak Southern Amerglish.
