Technically he has more white in him considering his mother has spanish in her Spanish people are white. But if he doesnt want to be specific then he could just say half white half latino.

Albanian is actually not a Latin-based language. It is actually a revised and merged form of the two main dialects, Gheg and Tosk.
People more or less refer to Albania as the country of the “white Muslims.”
Genocide was committed against them, by the way.
