That's like saying Rocky Marciano was Italian heritage.

Not exactly. Ethnically Italians are of the larger European ("white") heritage in comparison to the Latin-American people.

De La Hoya or Marciano?

Both of Marciano’s parents are from Italy.

Historically the USA is a country of immigrants, so the word "American" doesn't have a firm ethnical context behind it.
