Well what if his parents are both Mexican? I never heard of caucasoid

Mexican is a nationality description. Hispanic is an cultural description (of Spain). Caucasoid is a racial description. Like Americans, Mexicans come in different races. From my experience, Mexicans are usually White (Caucasian), Indian(Native American), or mixed, but most all will be Hispanic. Americans are more diverse but with racially less Indian influence and more more African (Negroid) and White (British mostly). Cubans and Puerto Ricans will be Hispanic culturally but primarily Black and White racially, although many Puerto Ricans do claim a strong native Indian link. A pale Swede and a olive Italian are the same race as are a pale Swiss and a Spaniard. Of course many in science now say there is no such thing as different races.
