Can you tell me if in the American context I would be white passing?

Im not white, because Im roma hence "other" but there is a difference between white and white passing. J.Edgar Hoover was a Octroon but he was white passing, some other blacks too.

It's only a rumour that J.Edgar Hoover was a light mulatto and no blacks can pass as white, unless you have severe eyesight problems.

You could never pass as White. You look just like Idris Elba.

Honestly, for sure not in my part of the U.S. they would automatically assume you to be Mexican/Latino just cause of your skintone, but it seems like people don't want to be white here. Like in my area, if a white person has a little Native, Hispanic, or black they try to pretend like they ain't white. It's such a weird thing to me, I'll never be a self hater like that.

20 years ago I met a blonde blue eyed guy in a pub which skinheads frequented he said he is a white spaniard, and that he is american, we talked about the KKK and I told him Im Greek, he seemed to believe it and accept me as white or he seemed to believe im a white greek. He didnt questioned it. I was drunk and he was a friend of the neo-nazis. Do you think he was really a white spaniard from the USA? Or maybe he was austrian who fooled me? He was blonde a blue eyed and looked germanic.
