Once a nurse was filling out an insurance sheet for me because she was nervous to get the line moving, and she voiced that I was "obviously white" and I was like >_> wtf
It's not entirely incorrect, but I NEVER mark that on demographic questionnaires because the option always reads "White, non-Hispanic" and that bothers me, because I am both.
It's funny because my brother has been mistaken for black...same two parents...

During the course of my life, I have been mistaken for Asian more times than I can count, mainly because my eyes are almond shaped and really small, my face is broad, my cheekbones are high, and yes, my nose is small.
Thing is, no one in my family looks like that. My family is nothing but white hispanics, dark haired, white skin, narrow faces, and average-size noses. Is that an Aspie thing, or totally unrelated to autism, just genetics.
You probably show some latent Asiatic features from the indigenous tribes that mixed with the Spaniards. Most Hispanics tend to be mestizo, though the percentage varies.
One of my aunts is like this, too.
