Probably messing with him. He also does not look Anglo Saxon and with his last name most likely he was thought as Hispanic. I don't know if you are aware, but Hispanics are not "White" according to the census, regardless of looks, race or color. It has to do with the context. If we are talking about ethnicity then he might not be thought as "White", but in a racial context he would be seen as "White". Does this make sense?
Here in the US the difference between a "White" and "Hispanic" is that a "White" is a Caucasian person who migrated directly from Europe. If a Caucasian person migrates from Europe to LatinAmerica and then his/her descendants migrate to the US from LatinAmerica then he/she is considered Hispanic. The only exception is people from Spain, they are always Hispanic.
Since most people in the US are quite ignorant about other countries and ethnicity, so they try to fit everyone in a box they already know. He was put in a box most Americans are familiar with because his background is not common in here. And that's pretty much how he was told he was not "white".
