Depends on the individual. Let us not forget that even most ostensibly White-looking Latin Americans have a little Amerindian or even possibly Black admixture. Certainly in Colombia's case, while wholesale Blacks may be seen as separate from Whites (though not necessarily disliked), Mestizos and Whites in effect form part of the same spectrum and society, if that makes sense.

From my interactions with Latinos, they all identify with one another culturally and denote one another via nationality. Nevertheless, they had a strong cultural-oriented solidarity among one another regardless of race. Even then, I have met Latinos/-as that are full assimilated into American culture/ethnogenesis.
Overall, I would say it depends on the individual and whom they choose to affiliate with.
This is merely my interactions with them here and not from my view point down under. ;o))))
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”

All euro-influenced latinos I've met usually stick into their elite-circles; elite-schools and elite-colleges; they only get in contact with the reality of their countries when they go to the mall, not actually by walking on the street, as if they ever wanted to... Why do it? When you have a big car with dark glasses so thirdworldeness can't see your face.
Funny thing is most of these euro-influenced latinos tend to:
1.- Take too much pride out of their culture, which I found is some sort of fantasy only available for the middle and upper classes, while the lowest (Which happens to be the big majority in each country) are barely able to eat or dress...
2.- Most of these euro- influenced latinos tend to pursue politics quite a lot, like as if they were born to it. Despite the fact that their lifestyles had never been so far different from the average Joe in each of their countries.
Maybe that's the reason they always represent the most liberal-capitalist "happy" side, and everytime they digg their claws on power they make the scar of poverty a little bit bigger and deeper so is easier for them to manipulate the poor's hopes, illusions and fears.... Then a left-wing authoritarian liberator (I.e. Chavez) can come out of it... To lead their people against the darkness, burning the elite-pigs and waging war against the euro-centrism and the american interventionism which happens to be all bullshit, and actually is just another way of manipulating the poor's hopes, illusions and fears, which always happens to be the big and angry majority.

Depend of class, racial-geographical distribution, inmigration and background. I follow a chilean-news facebook page since 2017 called "T13" and some chileans are not agree that caribeneros( or something else) help haitians to have kids in their country. This is because Chile lacks of blacks so it's obvious that some of them will not consider a haitian child of chilean nationality as part of their people.
*As personal opinion same thing happens here with full-chinese people here. No matters if they are middle class and don't depend of welfare. Some people with not see them as costa ricans.
IMO.

Do light skinned Americans view you John Smith as their people?

Colorism is something I never heard of until coming on this forum. It is non-existent in the white community in the USA. If anything the tanning industry is a billion dollar market in the USA so white people want to get darker here. Colorism does exist in the Latino and Black community. It is very real in those communities as dark-skinned latinos and blacks have a much harder time succeeding in the world. It is quite sad how people use skin color to determine how someone should be treated.

Of course not. Just look at the behavior of White Latin Americans here. Talking about how to dilute Blacks, increase Euro-immigration, genocide native Americans. Are these my people? Never in a million years.
