Ricardo Montalban was born in Mexico, but was the son of Spanish immigrants. As far as I know, he has no indigenous or non-Caucasian ancestry. In what way is he not white?

[(Anonymous)]

I have no strong feelings on this one way or the other, but see posts below by luxshine for someone who does!

(fwiw, on full consideration I would probably tend to agree with you, but I think it's safe to say it's a matter of debate)

He's white, at least from a European perspective. But there seems to be a tendency for Americans to assume that Spanish = Latino, even though that makes no sense historically. I guess that illustrates the fact that race boundaries are fuzzy and as much to do with ideology/ prejudice as anything objective. (See also Martin Sheen adopting a white-sounding name to avoid anti-Latino prejudice, even though he's half-Irish, half-Spanish, and is white - and couldn't pass as anything else. Ironically, with his hair dark Cumberbatch looks pretty Galician.

But I agree that it's ridiculous white-washing to cast either of them as Khan. Though in any case Khan Singh doesn't make a huge amount of sense as a name, given that Khan is typically a Muslim name, and Singh is Sikh. I suppose mostly what that means is that the filmmakers are just continuing to add to a train of fail....

ETA: having read further down the thread, it would seem the question of Montalban's race is more complicated than that. But without trying to defend the makers of XII, I still think there was nothing progressive about casting a Latino as an Indian in the Original Series.
