This is very old news. Yes. But some news service just found out about it, and so now, it's all over the media.

Most are Mestizo, given that most Latinos in the US are Mexican, and the Mexican population is primarily Mestizo. We can't assume a direct coronation with the ethnic mix present in Mexico and that of Mexican immigrants in the US. Their are selection biases at work in getting into and staying in the US. Also any immigrant population in the US will tend to become 'whiter' as it mixes with the dominant Anglo population. My guess would be that among self identified 'Mexican-Americans' the average is about half Mestizo and half European ancestry though of course its a spectrum.

Let's try and remember between the two of us (the U.S. and Europe) who has gone on more genocidal rampages. And it is the generation of your grandparents that I hold in high esteem.

Not the sorry excuse you have become.

BTW, how did your country come into existence ?

We generally do self-identification. Indeed... your race is the answer you give to the question, "What race are you?" (or even, "What race do you consider yourself?").

Latinos are, by the way, generally considered to be of different racial categories, 'hispanic' not being a race but a category of races. Most of our surveys have separate questions, now, 'Do you consider yourself of Hispanic origin', and 'What race do you consider yourself: White, Black, Asian, Alaskan, Hawaiian/Islander, Other', allowing a punch of 'White' and 'Hispanic' simultaneously.

Latinos are not white. Lonestar has some disabling mind disease going on.

Ok, neither Hispanic nor Black is White. I can agree with that. On any form you find that asks ethnicity, read what it says.

QUESTION 1. ARE YOU HISPANIC OR OF LATIN AMERICAN ORIGIN.
(Yes/No)

QUESTION 2. DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF: (Mark all that apply)
WHITE
BLACK
ASIAN
HAWAIIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER/ALASKAN
NATIVE AMERICAN
OTHER

This is what the forms look like. You can be both...

White does not mean 'not colored', or rather hasn't since desegregation ... it means "Of european ancestry".

You do know where Mexicans came from, right?
