I'm white, my family is white, and I grew up in an area that's a pretty even mix of white and Hispanic.
So when I'm confronted with a book character, my default unwitting imagination usually casts the character as white, unless there's a hint that the character is not white, in which case I imagine her or him as Hispanic, because that's my frame of reference. I guess I'm a big ol' racist, because if Default Person is either white like my entire family or Hispanic like half the people I knew growing up. Or maybe the fact that I have a default that's something-other-than-white makes me all shiny and "perf" and "flawless" according to Tumblr.

It's kind of funny, though, because every now and again I'll come across a character that I was sure was canonically Hispanic, and it turns out she or he is black or Asian.
