Spaniards are white Europeans. And what did we do to the Californios? California declared its independence as a free republic before joining the USA. Less than 1% of the population of Mexico lived in what is now the southwest USA at the time of California's annexation. When we crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico during the Mexican/American War, we were viewed as liberators by the border Mexican States who had already tried to secede from Mexico and had failed. So who cares what Mexicans living in California think? If they want to pretend they are not white, let them live in their fantasy.
