Why do some sicilians check off ''other'' when asked for their race ?

i noticed in my college that the dark skinned sicilians(ones who dont look really white) will check off other, when asked for their race. My friend is sicilian and i asked him ''Why do they do this ? i thought sicilians were white ?'' He gets angry and denies being white and says ''he is too dark to be white, Sicilians are just Sicilians'' I didn't quite understand him and i was too confused to question him any further. Why don't sicilians want to be labeled white ?
