Would you say your facial features are like that of Mediterraneans like spaniards, italians, portugese etc.?

Is your nose flat?
Do you have a nose bridge?
do you have tight curly hair?
Does your mouth point out past your nose?



LOL..I've never said I was white but I'll tell you this much: I've traveled extensively over this country where I reside, the US, and in no region of this nation have I ever been confused for a black American, ever. Take a look at my avatar..the prettier one in the pic is me..that's what a Dominican looks like.

THE SPANISH RAPED A BUNCH OF INDIANS AND BLACKS AND THATS HOW WE HAVE LATINOS!!!
Mexico has the same exact problem, millions of indians who want to be white so they call themselves "mestizos."
Black people in the US have light skin because they were raped by white slave owners! Do you think the offspring of that rape was considered white? No! He was treated just like any other slave only a tad bit better but at the end of the day the white man still considered them black. Mutual Interracial relationships in the US is a recent phenomenon.

"Millions of indians want to be white". Where do you get such ideas? It's difficult to take you seriously with your generalizations.

The tribes in Mexico actually take much pride in their destinctive culture which is the reason why many still exist to this day! I've been to Mexico and i've seen how many prefer to seclude themeselves from society and live in the mountains or deep in the jungle. Meztisos are another thing. They are largely mixed people who take pride in their spanish/indigenous ancestry which is seen in Mexico's culture overall. No need to hold grudges these days. What happened with the conquistadors and native tribes should not be forgotten but people need to move forward and that's exactly what these people are doing. Besides, their unique culture wouldn't exist were it not for the spanish. It looks like you could learn a few things from them about letting go of the resentment you appear to have towards whites. It's the only way to progress.

How can you say with absolute certainty that they are not mixed? The portuguese and the arabs have had trading outposts in East Africa for centuries and as such their genes are indeed in the polutation in that region of the world. You can look that up.

Nubians look mulatto but it says nothing about them being mixed. AFRICA IS DIVERSE. White people came from east africans! You get your dad's features, not your dad get's your features!

cib look at the first line of text on that page he linked. Not trying to ruin your fun but you are trading posts with a refined and practiced troll with no regard for facts, arguments, etc. This is all a sick turn on to him.

Only the indians that choose to identify as indian are proud of it! In the US most of the illegals who are predominantly indian call themselves mestizos! Judging on the illegals, I highly doubt Mexico is 70% mestizo.
