Overwhelming majority of Hispanics from Latin America are mixture of European, Indigenous/Native peoples, and sub-Saharan Africans. Hispanics differ with European whites in culture, genetics, intelligence, political preferences, and pretty much every measure upon which differences between races/peoples are measured.
A lot of hispanics might have lots of European admixture in their genes, but so do a lot of Iranians, Arabs, Turks, Central Asians, and even Afghanis. Significant European admixture can be found as far as Kaalash tribes of Northern Pakistan who live cut-off from main civilization. As Richard Spencer says, some Afghan woman with green eyes might have higher European genetic admixture than even Spencer himself---but in terms of identity, worldview, culture, education, politics, intelligence, and existence---There is almost NO similarity between that Afghan woman and a white-European living in mainland Europe. Same analogy can be applied to Hispanics. Hispanics might have some European admixture but they are fundamentally not 'Europeans/whites' by any appreciable measure. Hispanics are mixture of Europeans, indigenous/Native Americans, and Africans. Overwhelming majority of Hispanics are "Mestizos" and not 'Europeans' like non-Hispanic whites in the U.S.
Let's briefly look at the few measures to quantify the differences between Hispanics and European/whites...
GENETICS:
In contrast to non-Hispanic European Americans, whose average European ancestry ranges about 98.6%, genetic research has found that the average European admixture among self-identified Hispanic "White" Americans is (just) 73% European. On average, more than a QUARTER of entire genetic make-up of Hispanic "whites" comes from non-white populations such as Native Americans, Blacks, Asians etc. For general Hispanic population, the non-European admixture is even higher (utpo 1/3 of entire DNA code on average!). Anybody familiar with the genetic studies know that even a very minute difference in genes produces a very large outcome. In case of Hispanics, the genetic difference in comparison to Europeans is not minute but a SIGNIFICANT one. It's no wonder that Hispanics are completely different from Europeans and produce different results when it comes to culture, politics, IQ/Intelligence, education, and so on.

(Note: The study is done on Latinos who used the app 23&me for their genetic history. This group of large Latinos are those who could afford to pay $100 dollars for the test, owned a smart phone, and were educated enough to know about the existence of genetic testing and apps such as 23&ME. This sample most likely over-represented "white hispanics" as white hispanics are generally more affluent/educated than rest of the general hispanic population. It means that the actual non-European genetic admixture in general hispanic population is most likely even HIGHER than what is being shown in the study (which is still statistically significant and make Hispanics a 'non-European' people in terms of intelligence/IQ, political, and cultural outlook and outcomes).
IDENTITY:
Although most Hispanic Americans pick "white" as their racial category in the US Census (due to the absence of racial category: Latino/Hispanic), an overwhelming majority of these hispanics in their personal lives consider themselves as ethnically mestizo (of mixed European and Amerindian background) or mulatto (of mixed European and sub-Saharan African background). Infact, 83% of Hispanics surveyed in the U.S regarded themselves as either Mixed (Mestizo), Indigenous, or Afro-Latin

INTELLIGENCE/IQ:
Hispanics on average have 13 to 20 IQ points lower than the white Europeans (depending on the study). The relatively lower IQ of Hispanics compared with Europeans (Whites) have remained consistent across different studies at various times across multiple generations. Harvard academic conducting the IQ study on hispanics argued that this showed the 'permanency' of IQ differentials between Hispanic and European white populations.

This fact can also be seen through the consistent sub-par performance of Hispanic higherschoolers, in comparison to non-Hispanic white highschoolers, in the standardized testing across multiple states in the U.S. Interestingly, the results show a similar pattern when it comes to college and GRE (Graduate school entry exam) test scores (Page, 61 of study).
CONCLUSION:
In short, ALL the evidence suggests that "Hispanics" are a people of their own, and they are NOT 'Europeans.' There are significant differences between Europeans and Hispanics in terms of cultural, intelligence, political tendencies, IQ, identity, and social preferences (even if both peoples share some genetic admixture between them). Hispanics also radically differ from European whites in terms of political and governmental preferences when it comes to issues like the size of the government, welfare state, and nationalism. Those things are obvious so I haven't discussed those here to keep it short. See Stefan's video for more on this
Here is Stefan Molyneux's video detailing the significant differences in culture, politics, policy preferences and voting patterns of Europeans (whites) and Hispanics (Mestizos).
