Aren't the majority of Latin Americans in the US of Mexican descent?

Yeah, well white people killed a lot of the natives and interred with those that remained. Mexicans are mixed white/native (mestizo). However the US census doesn't consider mestizo a separate race which is pretty stuoid since Hispanicsare tge largest US minority. I did mispeak though. In the 2010 census a majority of Hispanics did identify as white, but now with the 2020 census that has switched to "mix race". People are allowed to identify as whatever race they want so shifting politics and social norms can change racial identity even when there's no actual change in genetic makeup.
Long story short: the US needs to recognize the existence of races other than just white, black and Asian. Or just dump race altogether, but good luck with that.
