Thereare 40 million white mexicans so...


can't he be one of them...

Wikipedia is wrong. Even on Mexico we don't count race in our census so how come another country be wiser in that aspect?

Mexican Genoma Project determined 35% of Mexico's population is white (mostly from Spain, but also France, Italy and The Middle East) and 55% is mestizo (predominantly caucasian), only the 10% being pure native.

People, read some books PLEASE. Spaniards brougth diseases and the amerindian population of Mexico decreased 95% in one century.

Mexico had more spaniard people than Spain in 1790.

Hollywood has damaged our image with stereotypes.

I Know! What is up with the typical dark brown, short and uneducated been considered Mexican.

One thing that gets me all the time is the fact that anyone that looks Latino and speaks Spanish is automatically considered Mexican. There are other Latino races out there such as from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Honduraz, Venezuela, Chile, Salvador, Peru and so many other countries in Middle and South America.

Plus, Mexicans are a mix of Spaniards and Native Americans. Many other countries from South and Middle America migrate to Mexico and then to the United States as well.

So why do people always make a big deal when a white looking man turns out to be Mexican?

Because those are the ones that end up working in the States. The oppressed and poor. Statistically most white Mexicans are upper or middle class, we don't migrate.

Oh, and that's BS. INEGI does.

They are all guilty, no matter if they are dark mestizos or light mestizos.

Dark ones for being lazy and light ones for being corrupt.

haha you,re the funny kind of racist.

Oppressed? In America? They're receiving free medical, education, and a tax-free paycheck? I'm getting none of that as a legal citizen. I'm sorry...where is the oppression again?

reply

Wrong dear----even illegal immigrants get taxes taken out of their paycheck--but being illegal, of course they get none of the benefits of tax-paying legal citizens. And exactly how much free medical care can you get if you can't pay for because you're only making whatever little money your employers feel like paying you, which is just enough to live on. Do your research, and stop making ignorant assumptions,please.

What a stupid-as-hell racist statement. Your skin color dosen't have one damn thing to do with whether you're educated or not,it has more to do with access to educational opportunities. And being a light-skinned Mexican sure as hell dosen't make you any damn better or more superior than your brown-skinned brothers and sisters----that's just al that white supremacist bull**** you're bought all into. Get off that stupid racist s***. please. Plus Mexico is racist as hell,especially toward its own black Mexican citizens---don't try and pretend that isn't true.
