I think all races of women have it bad. I could say in different ways, but the "ideal" look for all races go in the same direction.

Not sure about Latina women (i.e. mixed white/native types in the americas) but I can imagine that it would fall in a mid-point of the pressures mounted on white and black women. Same for other in-between races as well

Another question is who, or what, creates this pressure? Fellow women? Media? Men? A mixture? Nature?

I pick the fourth possibility, with men holding slightly more influence over other causes.

In regards to looking like the ideal beauty for the average guy, it depends on what that ideal is in any particular spot in the world.

For LatinAmericans, its a range that depends on the country. If I had to generalize it, I'd say it's the 'mixed' looking women (mestiza/mulatta/tri-racial) with a phenotype that either shows a 50/50 blend or tilts towards stereotypical 'Euro' feautures. I can't speak for the heavily Euro. influenced Argentines or Uruguayans, but someone considered good looking in Mexico, Venezuela , Puerto Rico, Colombian, etc. will generally be considered good looking all over LatinAmerica. This doesn't mean women who have more stereotypically non-Euro. influenced features are automatically considered ugly.
