  • No hispanic has 75% white or they will all have blond hair and blue or green eyes. Hispanics need to stop denying the fact that they are indians mixed with other races. On the contrary, most are whites wanna bs and get offended when called indians. Do not deny the fact that somewhere in your dna tree there was a guy with a bow and arrow.

  • I don't understand why people have so much hate and say they aren't racist when they clearly are. The first guy looks like a Cherokee(even though he's prob Aztec) before we started plucking our facial hair. "Hispanics" get treated the worst of anyone in my hometown because people are just plain racist and call them illegal to justify that. Call me racist, but I treat dark skinned "hispanics"(ones who clearly have indigenous blood) better than other people because I understand we are the most

  • @1coolguysuper yeah and the spaniards wrote it down as "Mejico"

  • @EricVZLeon what? why cant they be mexicans & native americans? you can be navaho & native american, cherokee & native american, why not mexican/aztec & native american?

  • @EricVZLeon Mexico comes from Meshico/Mexica (Aztecs).

    The Mexica were a Native tribe.

  • ok your native stop saying you mexican then

  • Wrong!

  • @quetzalamaru you are stupid you clearly don't know the history of america

  • This is not his land...this man is stupid...

  • @Kalapasuca Many are tied to the language/cultue of Spain.

    those of us, who have aculturated by the US society, are one step closer to believing their identity.

    For yo, i was able to seek out my roots w/o the spanish language/cultueral blinders

  • who wrote that poem? I like it alot!

  • @htownsleepy84, thats the thing whites are one race in Europe, just divided into countries. Whites have no other racial background besides what nationality they classify themselves as. "Latinos" have separate racial history. They are a mixture of european and indigenous native blood that varies in many. And because they were forced to adopt colonialization they now claim a nationality and confuse it with race. I am of Mexican descent being that my parents are from there, but that is not my race.
