From studying Mexicans in school, they are mainly meztisas-mixed. The bloodlines are Spain-white Europeans and Indians-native peoples of North America. There is also some intermixing of African blood here and there also due to how African slaves have been dragged all over the world to tend to crops, etc.
Now, after saying all of this-who cares? We are all human beings. Does it really matter what color our skin is? It shouldn't. Do you think cats go around looking down their noses at those with darker fur? I doubt it. This is a uniquely human issue.
We are lucky to have the rainbow of shades of human-or wouldn't it be boring?
Enjoy each other. Love each other.
I firmly believe if everyone treated each other the way we would want to be treated by others-this world would be a lot more pleasant to live in.
Oh, and to those religious people as well-just because someone is a different faith-or has no faith at all doesn't mean you are any better and they are any worse either. Stop "saving" people and trying to convert people. Let people live. Let people be.
Live aloha.
