Not all white people are nordic blue eyed looking.



White mexicanos.




The look is not important, it is how they are treated politically. If any Latin heritage can be identified then they are politically not white. Once called the single drop rule to used enforce discrimination, now to lay claim to benefits to counter the past discrimination of ancestors.

You do realize the thread is about Mexico and some of this people posting live in Mexico and have no plans on coming to the USA. I bet you didn't know only poor Mexican people are coming to the USA the middle class and rich have no interest. Your post sounds real dumb.

I often see Northern European looking Mexicans in El Paso driving around with Chihuahua licence plates, likely Mennonite descendants, but I know darn well they are a minority in Mexico.
I meant to say Mormon's, not Menonites.

Canelo Alvarez could be an Irish cousin of mine, but for his brown eyes.

Irish like to drink. Mexicans like to drink.
Irish like to fight. Mexicans like to fight.
Irish are experts in cursing. Mexicans are experts in cursing.

Irish make more colorful use of the English language than British do. Mexicans make more colorful use of the Spanish language than Spaniards do.

I doubt this. British skin is *very* white, it doesn't react well to sun, while Mediterranean skin is somewhat better at handling it.

Brits are milky white in Winter, then when we fly to Spain and Portugal, Canaries for our Hols, we develop a red tinge ( same as rednecks) but then we do tan, and tan well. Haven`t you been to southern Spain and seen the older Brits with their leathery brown skin. People in the west of Britain, and parts of Ireland do tan well. To be honest I would rather go to Spain, and the Algarve in Portugal than crime ridden Mexico, heard that the drug gangs have infiltrated the holiday resorts of Cuncan as well. Had some friends who went to Mexico a couple of years ago ( Acapulco) and it was a hole with the largest rats.

'British' people come in EVERY shade, surely you don't really believe what you say? Incidently it doesn't 'alway rain' in London either and we don't have bad teeth.
