I wish were Latina

I've studied Spanish for seven years and have been fluent for four years. The more I learn about Latin American culture the more it feels like it is designed specifically for me, but everyone assumes that I won't speak Spanish well and talks to me painfully ... slowly ... when ... they ... first ... meet ... me. I am just too white and really wish I at least looked like a latina. The Spanish Church I go to has welcomed me in, but I just really wish I didn't stand out so much as literally the only white person.
