I would think ANY guy who speaks a girl's language and is familiar with the culture will get attention. You're acting like panties will get wet just because you're white. Go to Asia for that.
When I was studying Spanish I lived in downtown LA, Hollywood, and Southgate for about two years. However, that was 1990-92. The Spanish people I encountered then thought it was absolutely adorable to see a white guy speaking intermediate Spanish. If I spoke to a young couple on the street in Spanish, within 10 minutes they would usually invite me to their house to eat something. It happened so often I no longer thought it was a big deal. They would then often try to introduce me to their single friends. So, I will ask again, has SoCal changed since then? Is it now not that unusual for a white guy to speak decent Spanish?
