Am i considered White in the USA?

Im Puerto Rican born in PR but raised in the US. Now im going to explain my family's ancestry. My moms family are jibaros (Hillbilly's) from the mountains of PR. Everyone on her side of the family resemble Europeans. Our family has been living in the mountains for generations only mixing with other Spaniards. No one is really black or taino at all in her family just very White Spanish. Now for my dads side of the family its easy hes Polish-PR his parents my grandparents are Polish (thus my last name) from some village in Poland i forgot the name lol. In PR im considered White & in other Latin American country's as well. I know Hispanic/Latino isn't a race but would i be seen as White in American standards?
