Lately ive been told by mexicans latinos i dont look mexican descent im 70 years old my hair is white i have a mustache beard im light skinned too when i was younger i look mexican dark hair i could pass for being native american i look brown skin maybe i was swiming alot got good tanned while at the beach ole
The moment when a British citizen knows more about Mexico and they are all the way in Europe and the american know nothing about Mexico and they are right next to each other
@@drah9955 yes man I guess the us government needs to teach stuff like this like literally t only take like 10 minutes of your life and you can then stop confusing hispanics as JUST BROWN
I travel to Mexico a lot, and it is sad that Mexicans know so much about America but Americans don't give a shit about Mexico. I'm starting to see more and more Americans moving to Mexico though.
Honestly I feel like Mexicans are just so proud of their nationality that most don't define themselves as European-Mexican, Afro-american, nor Native Mexican. We all call each other Mexicano 💯!
Technically it’s impossible to look “Mexican.” Just like it’s impossible to look American. Both countries are a mix of many peoples of many ethnic backgrounds. There is no Mexican ethnicity.
True but for some reason as a mexican we are able to tell who is and who isn't from Mexico just by looking at them. You just get a feeling. Like one time my mexican friend guessed that some girl was American and she was.
@@ombre_blanco1725 no it isn't, mexican is more of an ethnicity than latino. latino is just the sphere of influence or broader cultural group. also it's possible to look mexican (although there are many ways this can be achieved) since 97% of mexicans are a mix of european and amerindian with very little african and middle easterner.
white lion Are you from Sonora o Jalisco o idk . . . Cuz you look super European lol. Well you might be Mexican Criollo, which means a pure European descent living in Mexico since the overseas colonies establishes by the Europeans since the 16th century .
I agree with the "Hollywood" statement! They often use stereotypical images of Mexicans in films. It's ridiculous. Or they portray them as a very ugly people, super frustrating. It's very far from true!
no it comes from the fact that Mexican society is racist towards the brown indian ones & oppress them to the point they gotta migrate illegally, so in the u.s people only know the brown mexicans & not the white mexicans that don't have to migrate. blaming "Hollywood" is stupid
lRaziel1 habla por ti mismo y por el lugar donde vives o de donde saliste, por que México es un país gigantesco y cada estado, cada ciudad es muy diferente a las demás. mis condolencias porque tú tuviste que vivir en un área fea.
Bueno hay robos en las areas feas! y mas en las areas residenciales y de clase alta pq ahi esta el dinero, aunque nos duela, la delincuencia y los robos en México son un Cáncer q se esta expandiendo cada vez mas en todo los rincones del México!! bueno hasta los Policías y el Gobierno roban!!! En verdad esto ya es un asco y una vergüenza! y No tiene caso negarlo aunque a ti aun no te haya tocado, eso no quita la taza de criminalidad y delincuencia q existe en México y en TODOS LOS ÁMBITOS, triste realidad que duele...pero es cierta!
Hi, I'm from Sonora, MX, and I was visiting Rome last summer with my family, and this lady at one restaurant ask us where we where from and I said Mexico and she says : oh you're so pretty you don't look mexican... And I look at her like am I supposed to Thank you?? I'm sure her comment didn't have a bad intention but wow I was sooo mad. Great video thanks for letting the world know that MEXICAN IS A NATIONALITY NOT A RACE.
Italians CAN BE a bit racist. My niece was refused service, she is biracial, at a restaurant and she was with her German husband. So yes, not surprised.
Jedi Knight yes Jedi. im from Denmark. I know almost all Europe, USA, Canada , japan, Argentina, colombian n Brazil. My favourite place is México. Greetings...
I absolutely love this! My dads Mexican 🇲🇽, and my moms Spanish 🇪🇸, and I’m always told I look Italian. My DNA test came back 93% spanish, 4% Native American, and 3% Irish. Meaning my MEXICAN dad is also mainly spanish. I have ZERO Italian. Mexican is NOT a race. 10-20% are Native American, 60-70% are mestizo ranging from 50% up to 80% European, and indigenous, and 15-20% full European anywhere from spanish to German, etc. Mexican is NOT a race. I hate being told I look Italian, etc. mexico is a diverse country. Just like the US it’s an immigrant country. Therefore you’ll see blond haired blue eyed, to even black. Don’t be ignorant.
@@WillySognatore not really perhaps the Iberians in the South are mixed with Arabs but for the most part they're not especially in the north where most are Celto Iberian mixed with Germanic and italic groups
Haha I remember my dad telling me when he lived in Indiana white people would talk shit about Mexicans to him not knowing he is Mexican and Mexicans would talk shit in Spanish about him not knowing he was also a Mexican.
Barbara K people are ignorant bigots. your dad got to see the hate coming from both sides. I just assume most people are selfish no.atter where they come from. It avoids potential disappointments.
that is so true..i'm 100 % mexican i was born and raised in México... i'm white w/ red hair and most people from other countries don't Belive i am ..stop thinking all mexicans look the same cause we don't :)
Hanani Manjarrez yeah that's a problem one of my best friend also has, she has beautiful red hair (it's actually like orange hair "pelirroja") and she always has that problem, she even has frickles and her mother looks like the average Sonora lady
I am mexican. Also my parents and grandparents etcetera. My father has the african-mexican genes and my mother the european-mexican genes. And I look like an Arab wtf!
@Danny Owens Um Mexico’s first president was literally a biracial black man. If you travel to Guerrero and Veracruz there are tons of Mexicans of African descent.
@Danny Owens You're sadly mistaken. You can be White and still look Black if your color is Black but be from Canada. You can be Black and still look White but you're from United States. *My mom LOOKS Asian but isn't she's Mexican and no Asian Ancestry* *My Dad also has no Russian Ancestry but looks Russian but Color Brown.* And you have said that if you looked asian you are asian.
thank you for making it clear, as a mexican i'm sick of hearing ignorant people calling us "brown skinned" when obviously not everyone of us is. Plus, who cares what we look like? what makes us unique is our incredible culture and manners. It's really amazing to see people like you who, far from critizicing our "race", tries to make clear things up for people who have no idea about mexican diversity.
Tu siendo Ingles,Creo que has hecho una investigacion muy acertada sobre nosotros los mexicanos en cuanto nuestra apariencia fisica y si efectivamente aqui no preguntamos de que raza eres, aqui todos somos Mexicanos. Este es un pais de muchas razas y culturas, y siguen llegando extranjeros de las mas diversas nacionalidades y se quedan a vivir porque les gusta y se dan cuenta que no hay muchas restricciones y hay muchas libertades de hacer lo que quieras.
¡ChrisSikes! País en el que vivo por cierto... No veo problema alguno con ver dicho vídeo. Lo que digo es que que puto asco de país que sea o quiera seguir el modelo a ser un "totum revolutum", una masa indefinida de mierda de todo tipo y que un cateto como este quiera vendertelo como algo bonito con el discurso gastado, rancio y cancino de siempre "ToOdhAsZ lAsZ kCulTuRazS" blah blah blsh... Una puta mierda de toda la vida vamos...
Aurora Eterna Entonces por lo que deduzco quieres un país de criollos? O de qué? Ese es el destino de América amiga mia, no somos una etnia, pues la etnias que habitaban fueron eliminadas en su mayoría.
¡ChrisSikes! Que dices atontado¡! Que es un criollo? Eso ya no existe, un criollo era simplemente un hijo de Españoles nacido en las Americas en la época colonial, ese termino es obsoleto y no, no estoy hablando de ser una etnia, yo no veo mal el como es america, yo hablo de que me parece una estupidez lo que dice el sujeto del comentario de "MuChasZ rRazAsh y KhulTurhasZ" a lo tutti fruti.. Y que aclame la llega de extranjeros, me parece cuando menos patético.
People find it odd when I tell them my heritage is Mexican but I have green eyes and they find that strange. I tell them most of my family has green eyes and they live in Mexico. They tell me I can't be Mexican because Mexicans don't have green eyes so they end up not believing me. Lol I'm thinking to myself like why the hell would I lie about my heritage? smh
BlueDreamKush23 right? I'm fully Mexican on both sides, both straight from Mexico City, and my mom has green eyes and some of her sisters have blue ones as well. My dad is also very light skinned, but with brown eyes. I got the light skin but not the green eyes, but even so no one believes my mother or myself are Mexican and my last name isn't common outside South America/Mexico City so confused white people consistently ask me "where are you REALLY from"? Lol
OMG, you get it. Now if only white America would get it. I once had a girl ask me why two Mexican co-workers looked nothing alike and they were both Mexican (one was Mayan looking and the other very fair with mostly Spanish features). I told her that it is because they are different races.....she didn't understand and I didn't want to take the time to explain. I live in Texas and it's incredible that Mexico is six hours away and people here know NOTHING about Mexicans. Thank you so much for the video!
I had a co-worker who was confused and didn't understand this either. I am from Veracruz and of a darker complexion and have different features than my other co-worker who used to work with us. She has a light complexion and completely different features than I do. She asked "Are both of your Mexican? Why do you two look so different?" The lady is African American so my co-worker replied "Do all black people look the same?" The lady just said "oohh...." and didn't say anything else lol
@country Estonia is totally different. Mexican-Americans are Americans whose ancestors and heritage come from Mexico so yes, you should know something about them. They are a group found predominately in the southwest of the United States. We have been here for generations. We have been here way longer than any anglo. Just a friendly reminder that Texas, New Mexico, California, Nevada and Arizona were formally known as Mexico. So please do not compare this to Estonia. We are talking about Mexicans. So YES you should know something. Pure ignorance.
@@rachelhilton685 Unfortunately, many ranchers in Texas discriminate and do not know that they have Mexican ancestors, another thing is that the southern states of the United States are brothers of the northern states of Mexico because many customs are shared.
@@azahelramirez86 If you're referring to the "Tejano" ranchers discriminating it is because most of them do not have Mexican ancestry. A lot of the so called Mexican Americans or "original Tejanos" are of Spanish ancestry and they have documentation to prove it. They particularly can trace their lineage to Las Islas Canarias. Many Mexicans don't know this and they surely don't go around saying it. It's always funny to me when Mexicans say, "Look, they've lost all their customs and their food". No they haven't. Mexican food is NOT their food. This is why they eat flour tortillas and pasta (sopas) of all kinds. Their accent and grammar conjugations in Spanish is even different because of this. I won't go into the technicality because first, it would take too long and second, you won't believe me if you're Mexican. They have so much history that this group deserves a whole history book by itself. Don't get me wrong, a lot of Texans are of Mexican origin but I'm talking about the original Tejanos that have been here for generations.
I'm from Chihuahua and there are a lot of Mennonites residing there. And they do have great cheese haha. It's amazing how informed you are about Mexico. You know more about Mexico than probably a lot of Mexicans.
Do you realize that Mennonites don't have a nationality due their archaic religion? There are over 80 000 Mennonites in Bolivia and 10 000 in Mexico. These people are nomades.
666 the witch Jasso a person who's only part native isn't considered a legit native so yea but than no its very rare to find Aztecs and mayans that arent mutts so it really doesn't count as much if someone half white and half native walked up to a bunch of natives and said yea I'm native American they wouldn't agree as much lol
Although during this particular video a blonde didn't walk by, I can tell from having lived in Mexico that there are numerous blonde and light brown haired, with light complexion natural born Mexican citizens. And seeing a Mexican born citizen with blue or green eyes is not uncommon either.
Homicideinvestigate cuz he is in Mexico City , most of central Mexicans are mixed with more native blood, if you travel north you can see more mixed European blood, and in the south pure native and some black blood Mexicans
I was born with dirty blonde hair and I have hazel eyes. But my hair is now black or dark brown but still have my hazel eyes. And of course I have light skin.
I went to the US once, and a friend of mine got me a date with a guy she knew from work. After we introduced ourselves he said "you don't look Mexican at all, you're white and pretty". And the asshole genuinely thought it was a compliment and got stupidly mad when I ditched him.
los mujeres yo conozco online de mexico esta muy bonita . mas importante bien y intelligente . Algun americanos piensa la mundo revolver cerca united states . yo gusto mexico y aprendo espanol por visitar mexico y colombia . gracias y amo de india
It is amazing that somebody from another country, specially Europe (a bit far away!) takes the time to not only do research about this topic, but also to make a true effort to understand how this country works, which I know is complicated and confusing most of the time. I do honestly appreciate that you take the time to make this videos/channel to help people know a little bit deeper and from a neutral point of view how our society works. Thank you very much for your interest and good will, I will definitely make a patreon contribution; we need more videos like this. And as is commonly said here: you are welcome and our home is your home.
youre not a race. look up the definition, people are mexican by dna and some are just born in mexico the same as other countries which makes that their nationality, its both, so stop spreading lies. if that were the case there would be no races
ExtraRareTrumpSteak, you are just a simple idiot. Indigenous features are not representative of a mexican. Mexican is not a race, a mexican is a mix of Spanish and Indegenous genes. Berk.
Lady Li literally thought about doing this. I literally can't remember a time someone without knowing me, thought I was mexican. They usually think I'm some type of asian. -.-
Yeah I don't look mexican, I get that a lot. Doesn't bothers me though BUT when I'm on vacations in Mexico and my own people think that they can take advantage mistaken me as a foreing tourist, then... i got mad: "no mames wey no me querias chingar compa", i said.
USA is a younger country than Mexico. Therefore we Mexicans have experienced more intercultural, ethnic and linguistic fusion and mixture through the years. Like the British reporter says, we don't divide ourselves by colors or races. We are LA RAZA COSMICA , MESTIZAJE UNIVERSAL.
+Falkoner When you take over will these different countries immediately become shitholes like the countries of Mexico and South America, or will it take some time to destroy them?
EkBalam707 dude mexico is a beautiful country. but dont make it sound like its full of saints, because there are alot of racists, and homphobic people there.

I absolutely HATE it when ppl say that I look white or “are you white?” It’s actually so annoying. I’m Mexican. but I’m not like super brown. I’m like Super super light brown.
in fact i was shocked when saw the importance that is given to the idea of "race" in the USA, I really believe that's the root of racism, an awful concept when applied to humans
Sabía que México era diverso pero no tanto,yo vivo en la parte sur de México y aún aquí hay bastante diversidad de mi parte soy de ascendencia libanesa y mi mejor amiga es de ascendencia coreana, así que si, en México hay de todo un poco
I love the diversity of Mexico! According to my DNA results I’m Native American, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and French. But I just identify myself as Mexican 🇲🇽❤️
Well, race is touchy. Mexico tries to claim Aztec and Spanish ancestry at the same time, or neither and creates a conflict of identity. It certainly makes the country more unified that you can say "The Aztecs never left, they just learned Spanish". But I like Mexicans because they find kinship in their Mexican identity over their skin-color.
Lupita Nyong is Black and Kat Von D is White and both were born in Mexico period yet George Lopez would be classified as Mexican because he looks Indian yet he was Born in the US period
Good point. George López is actually US citizen (Born in Mission Hills, CA), not mexican (albeit he can easily obtain mexican citizenship because of his ancestry). In the other hand Lupita Nyong'o or Mario van Peebles were born in Mexico, they are mexican according to mexican law. Dunno about Mario but Lupita has stated several times that she identifies herself as mexican and kenyan at the same time. And IMO Lupita speaks a tad better spanish than George López.
Yes, I know that. Lupita Nyong'o and Mario van Peebles were born in Mexico City. Kat von D was born in Montemorelos, Nuevo León, and as I said above George Lopez was born in Mission Hills, California.
Dude, props to you. This has always secretly bothered me. I've had "Mexican" friends who have also said such things as" you don't look Mexican" or " you're white as hell to be Mexican" this of course being because they have never really come back to Mexico or they basically go straight to their towns, where certain ethnicity predominates. Many Mexican Americans have this wrong idea of México.
my dad is from Michoacan and he has hazel eyes, curly dark brown hair, and super pale skin. His skin is now bronze from years and years of working under the sun but if you look at his legs they're white as snow.
Daisy Pimentel Omg my dad was the same and he was from Michoacan. He also worked many years under the sun, and his eyes were also hazel and he had wavyish hair.
Too some from my family in Michoacan state. They have the same characteristics, curly hair, hazel eyes or green eyes, but i'm brownskin and darkeyes cause i'm a mestizo, sorry my english is terrible, i don't speak english i just speak nahuatl and spanish.
My grandparents live in Michoacán too. In Uruapan specifically. My grandfather has green eyes and has skin more on the light side. But I'm pretty sure he's darker because he also works under the sun. Even at an old age he's a hard worker!
I'm mexican american and my family is from Jalisco. We visit our pueblo there every year and it's a small little town and almost 98% of the people there are light skinned; not brown. I'm light skinned and i have blue eyes. haha I see more brown people here in the states(california) than i do when i'm in mexico lol
Raúl hey same, my family is from Jalisco as well, and our town has a bunch of light skinned and white Mexicans , and few browns. I'm freaking pale and I have hazel eyes. My 2 grandparents are blonde with green eyes .
Danilo Andrade lol awesome . my dad has hazel eyes and my mom has green eyes. Lots of people here in the states, when they see me, they think I'm white until I talk to them in Spanish 😂
¡Excelente! Es necesario destruir el estereotipo del mexicano. Por otro lado ¿Sería mucho problema agregar subtítulos? Creo que te daría muchísimos más suscriptores.
Mexican of Italian ancestry here. Many here in Baja California have Italian, Spanish, Russian, French even English and other European ancestry and also Chinese and Japanese ancestry due to the waves of immigrants to this peninsula , this influx is present in todays cuisine and regional culture and also in our wine-producing areas. Great video again Congrats!
Three decades ago I drove for a high end limo company in LA. I was dispatched to LAX to pick-up well to do young Mexicans that had paid in advance for a full week I was their's 24/7. A really good gig. So shocked when I met the 5 people. They were more blonde and blue than I was. I had that CA surfer look back then. It was a great week. Fun, respectful and tri-lingual group. An eye opener for me.
Yup! It’s crazy how many people don’t know that “Mexican” is not a race, it’s a nationality! All Mexicans are unique in their own ways. Glad you are informed about this!
Thank you paul for showing the world the beauty of Mexico lindo y querido. I live in United States, but Mexico lives in me. Most of people in the US think that Mexico is the worst ever even when they haven't had visited it yet. God bless you paul.
Jess Mx woah! You do look white, but again Mexicans can be in different color skin, hair, eyes etc. I. Just pale lol what part of Mexico is your family from?
yes youre gorgeous and anybody would love to be your partner, but I dont like when people like you always make that kind of comment. because you just make feel bad the 95% of the mexican dark people
stupid, if thats the case there is no such thing as race, its a sub-race created by rape of our people, you gonna tell african americans theyre not a race either? every country has people born there that dna is from somewhere else, so thats their nationality not race, we are mexican by dna, others are mexican by nationality, you people need to look up the definitions of race and nationality, and while youre at it culture and ethnicity too cause uneducated morons bring those up in arguement also. smh.
De hecho he notado que para los gringos es un tema digno de comentar o de aplaudir como si fuera algo que los hace buenos o especiales decir que tienen amigos de diferente raza a la suya, mientras que los mexicanos nunca nos damos cuenta de qué color son nuestros amigos ni nuestra pareja, de hecho hasta que no vemos vídeos como este caemos en cuenta de que tenemos amigos, pareja, padre o madre, hermanos del mismo padre y madre de diferente color al nuestro.
Totalmente, mis tíos son el ejemplo... Hay muy morenos de piel y cabello casi afro y otro rubios de ojos verdes y son hermanos... Y no había puesto atención hasta ver este vídeo.
LOL that is so true. I love the way you put it "diverse genetic" make up. Also, the distinction of Mexican race vs. citizenship...So you know, there have been many waves of immigration to Mexico, not only Spanish. There have been waves of Lebanese, Spanish, Cuban, Tunesian, Syrian, Argentinean, Italians, Chinese, Korean, and many more ethnic groups that have had descendants in Mexico. Thank you for mentioning the Afro-Mexicans in the south, Veracruz and Yucatan areas. I am the descendant of Lebanese Jews and mixed with Native Mexican. Great Video! You should make one of class, racism, casts, and association with wealth. Thanks again, love your channel to the point of being hooked! Ha!
this gave me a lot of confidence!! i am a second generation of mexican and i look american (while also living in america) and all i hear is “you dont look mexico” when people ask me what my nationality is. my whole life ive been trying to “look mexican” or “sound mexican” because of what everyone was saying. everyday, i heard “if you were mexican you’d have this ___” and all that stuff. and this honestly made me appreciate that i’m a white mexican. yes i still would like to look a little different but i can’t change how i look.
roodles prease Not exactly. My skin color does not condition my relation with other Mexicans. We don't have something like "white Mexicans tend to do this and this is why we can't get along with mestizos" or something like that. Contrary to the Americans, who have like race groups... latinos (not even a race) with latinos, whites with whites and so on.
Glors Dabre When your here you have to get an alliance and the only way here seems to be by race. I hate that it has to be this way. You can't just go travel in the US without worrying about racism. A lot of people don't are pushed into that by others who see everything through the racial lense. All you have to do is read the comments in a video and race will always come up.

There are over 200 indigenous groups still living with their own culture in Mexico ;3 most of them in extreme poverty because the government could care less about them :c
Im from Sinaloa and here we have more white mixed race than brown or black, when I go to Mexico City I can see that there are a lot of brown and smaller ppl than in the north. We have brown, white, black, asian etc Mexicans around the country. Great video!
I’m from Jalisco and people ask me are you Russian and when I say 💯 Mexican they go oooo u don’t look like it and I respond by saying well have you visited every part of Mexico? No well than don’t assume
in Mexico reside 56 Ethnic groups, like the mayans, purepechas, raramuris, Lacandones, yaquis etc.. Each with its own culture, language, and of course physical appearance. To this diversity are added the Europeans, Arabs, and other peoples of the world. Therefore, Mexicans can have many physical appearances.
99% of mexicans are mainly native americans or ameindians 1% is other. Like anyother country in the Americas, Dominican Republic are mainly mulato or black as 90% , Argentines are 97% white, Colombia 30% white, 60% mixed, 10% black and so on. But Mexico is the most indigenous country in the Americas.
G reinsther my nigga thats like saying 99% of Germans are blond haired and blue eyed. Latin American stats are all wrong, they are not accurate at all. Ive had clearly mestizo looking latinos come up to me and claim to be "white". I say bullshit.
Jozeph Reyes lol i mean the economic gap between the rich and the working class is growing and the middle class is shrinking in the US while its growing in Mexico.
Jozeph Reyes 😂😂😂 ikr. its all thanks to the Mexican people that it is getting better despite their bs government theyve managed to grow their economy with hard work and dedication. and now even more immigrants are migrating to mexico. in the us the net is negative now of mexicans coming in to the us actually more have been leaving for the past couple years
098lennox Mexico's native population makes it one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world according to geneticists. I don't think you understand the true definition of diversity.
yeah this video should be taught in schools maybe there would be a lot less racism in the U.S. not all mexicans look like speedy gonzalez or enjoy mariachi music
Guys... This basically applies for all Central and South America. It's the same thing, but in different percentages. All these countries passed through a process of mixing, and there are left a few of pure race (native indigenous people or African black people) . Latin American people, we are mixed raced (and a minority of pure race), there's not such a thing as "Mexican race or Brazilian or whatever". Those are nationalities. Now, out of the mixed people, some have stronger European ancestry that gets to be shown in their features, or black or indigenous. For example, in my country, Colombia, in comparison to Mexico, the native indigenous people percentage is much more lower, but there's a higher in black (or black mixed/descendant ). There is plenty of light skinned people (especially in the central regions or big cities). The majority of European ancestry in my country is, obviously from Spain, but also in a lower percentage British, German, Italian etc... There's also a considerable number of middle eastern descendance. I just find so interesting this topic, for example my two grandfathers are "white" or light skined better (one was blonde also) and my two grandmothers have darker skin, and I'm light skinned and my two siblings are light dark skined. And that's just an example of how rich and diverse we are in Latin America. In countries like Perú or Bolivia there are higher percentages of indigenous people, whereas in southern countries like Argentina or Uruguay the "white" percentage of people is higher (there's big Italian ancestry in there). Now to finish this was a very nice video, very educative especially against the stereotypes and ignorance in these topics in the USA as an effect of their centralist culture... That give birth to people thinking that there's people speaking "mexican", or that Brazilians speak Spanish, or that people from Spain are Latinos, or appropriating the name of a whole continent to refer to their country and nationality and spread it and make it seem correct internationally or thinking that "hispano" is a race (that one gives me headaches). PD: US people "hispano" (origin of the word: old region of Hispania, current España (Spain)) refers to a Spanish speaking individual, not a race or a country of origin, hence, people from Spain (europians) are Hispanic and people from Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, French Guayana and/or speaking native indigenous languages across countries in Central/South America are NOT hispanic. Hispanic, to put it in context is to Spanish what francophone is to French, and anglophone is to English. I swear once you guys understand that you will realize how wrong is its use and can educate other people.
Diego Alejandro, claro que en Colombia hay mucha gente de raza negra porque parte del plan Republicano de Abraham Lincoln sobre qué hacer con las personas de la raza negra una vez emancipados era deportarlos para Colombia y Panamá. También se crearon ciertas negociaciones con países africanos para que aceptaran a la mayoría de la población negra, pero muy pocos decidieron volver a sus tierras natales.

Yeah I met a guy born in Canada with Indian ethnicity and he told me that I didn't look like a Mexican, I told him that he didn't look like canadian either then he realized his stupidity
I like your video. You're right, my grandparents arrived to Mexico from Barcelona, Spain in the first half of the 20th Century. During my school age years I was called "Gachupin" a word to connote Spaniard because my persona looks more European than traditional Mexican. There're certain small towns in the High Plains (Altos de Jalisco) State of Jalisco were the population look more European: white men & women with with green or blue eyes like certain towns of the States of Sonora, Sinaloa, Zacatecas, Chihuahua Durango, and Nuevo León.

I travel to Mexico a lot, and it is sad that Mexicans know so much about America but Americans don't give a shit about Mexico. I'm starting to see more and more Americans moving to Mexico though.
Honestly I feel like Mexicans are just so proud of their nationality that most don't define themselves as European-Mexican, Afro-american, nor Native Mexican. We all call each other Mexicano 💯!
I am Asian Mexican, but that is just my external physical features but what I am really proud of is being Mexican
Facts!
Afro-mexican*

Yep, even as a Mexican-American, i just say Mexican, but if someone wants to know the specifics, then i clarify 🙃
Technically it’s impossible to look “Mexican.” Just like it’s impossible to look American. Both countries are a mix of many peoples of many ethnic backgrounds. There is no Mexican ethnicity.
True but for some reason as a mexican we are able to tell who is and who isn't from Mexico just by looking at them. You just get a feeling. Like one time my mexican friend guessed that some girl was American and she was.
@T T being Mexican is a nationality. Being Latino is an ethnicity
@Yakidon Warren how so ?
@@ombre_blanco1725 it’s also an ethnicity. 😂 Mexico has its own culture, food, music, clothing, día de los muertos etc.
@@ombre_blanco1725 no it isn't, mexican is more of an ethnicity than latino.
latino is just the sphere of influence or broader cultural group.
also it's possible to look mexican (although there are many ways this can be achieved) since 97% of mexicans are a mix of european and amerindian with very little african and middle easterner.
It is all Hollywood s fault whenever I am in the US They think o am Irish they can not believe I am Mexican
white lion Are you from Sonora o Jalisco o idk . . . Cuz you look super European lol. Well you might be Mexican Criollo, which means a pure European descent living in Mexico since the overseas colonies establishes by the Europeans since the 16th century .
I agree with the "Hollywood" statement! They often use stereotypical images of Mexicans in films. It's ridiculous. Or they portray them as a very ugly people, super frustrating. It's very far from true!
no it comes from the fact that Mexican society is racist towards the brown indian ones & oppress them to the point they gotta migrate illegally, so in the u.s people only know the brown mexicans & not the white mexicans that don't have to migrate. blaming "Hollywood" is stupid
stfu, white mexicans have the wealth & the power you stupid fuck , talking outta your ass
most mexicans don't even accept being indian since it's seen as low class in Mexico .
I love Mexico and the people! I'm Black and from America but my heart has always been south of the border.. thanks for this video
Pleasure, happy you enjoyed it.

lRaziel1 habla por ti mismo y por el lugar donde vives o de donde saliste, por que México es un país gigantesco y cada estado, cada ciudad es muy diferente a las demás. mis condolencias porque tú tuviste que vivir en un área fea.
Bueno hay robos en las areas feas! y mas en las areas residenciales y de clase alta pq ahi esta el dinero, aunque nos duela, la delincuencia y los robos en México son un Cáncer q se esta expandiendo cada vez mas en todo los rincones del México!! bueno hasta los Policías y el Gobierno roban!!! En verdad esto ya es un asco y una vergüenza! y No tiene caso negarlo aunque a ti aun no te haya tocado, eso no quita la taza de criminalidad y delincuencia q existe en México y en TODOS LOS ÁMBITOS, triste realidad que duele...pero es cierta!

Hi, I'm from Sonora, MX, and I was visiting Rome last summer with my family, and this lady at one restaurant ask us where we where from and I said Mexico and she says : oh you're so pretty you don't look mexican... And I look at her like am I supposed to Thank you?? I'm sure her comment didn't have a bad intention but wow I was sooo mad. Great video thanks for letting the world know that MEXICAN IS A NATIONALITY NOT A RACE.

I absolutely love this! My dads Mexican 🇲🇽, and my moms Spanish 🇪🇸, and I’m always told I look Italian. My DNA test came back 93% spanish, 4% Native American, and 3% Irish. Meaning my MEXICAN dad is also mainly spanish. I have ZERO Italian. Mexican is NOT a race. 10-20% are Native American, 60-70% are mestizo ranging from 50% up to 80% European, and indigenous, and 15-20% full European anywhere from spanish to German, etc. Mexican is NOT a race. I hate being told I look Italian, etc. mexico is a diverse country. Just like the US it’s an immigrant country. Therefore you’ll see blond haired blue eyed, to even black. Don’t be ignorant.
DNA test are actually not realistic at all since they measure traits that are from ethnicity is around the world from dna.

Spanish people are mixed with Arab people who are mixed themselves as well

Why do people forget that African’s were brought here 🙄
thank you for making it clear, as a mexican i'm sick of hearing ignorant people calling us "brown skinned" when obviously not everyone of us is. Plus, who cares what we look like? what makes us unique is our incredible culture and manners. It's really amazing to see people like you who, far from critizicing our "race", tries to make clear things up for people who have no idea about mexican diversity.
I like your mentality, and I feel the same way as an American.
The one who is offended is you, Mexico, the majority is brown, that's why Holiwood puts us like this, it's not for you to be offended.
This is my first video I watch from and I love it!!! As Mexican American, you make me proud
Thanks for that!
I agree and feel the same.

People find it odd when I tell them my heritage is Mexican but I have green eyes and they find that strange. I tell them most of my family has green eyes and they live in Mexico. They tell me I can't be Mexican because Mexicans don't have green eyes so they end up not believing me. Lol I'm thinking to myself like why the hell would I lie about my heritage? smh
BlueDreamKush23 right? I'm fully Mexican on both sides, both straight from Mexico City, and my mom has green eyes and some of her sisters have blue ones as well. My dad is also very light skinned, but with brown eyes. I got the light skin but not the green eyes, but even so no one believes my mother or myself are Mexican and my last name isn't common outside South America/Mexico City so confused white people consistently ask me "where are you REALLY from"?

Marco Tulio Vazquez same
wtf what do they say you look like
American with hispanic roots but not Mexican, which is kind of an oxymoron.
OMG, you get it. Now if only white America would get it. I once had a girl ask me why two Mexican co-workers looked nothing alike and they were both Mexican (one was Mayan looking and the other very fair with mostly Spanish features). I told her that it is because they are different races.....she didn't understand and I didn't want to take the time to explain. I live in Texas and it's incredible that Mexico is six hours away and people here know NOTHING about Mexicans. Thank you so much for the video!
I had a co-worker who was confused and didn't understand this either. I am from Veracruz and of a darker complexion and have different features than my other co-worker who used to work with us. She has a light complexion and completely different features than I do. She asked "Are both of your Mexican? Why do you two look so different?" The lady is African American so my co-worker replied "Do all black people look the same?" The lady just said "oohh...." and didn't say anything else lol
My family is from Jalisco and whiter than toilet paper.
@country Estonia is totally different. Mexican-Americans are Americans whose ancestors and heritage come from Mexico so yes, you should know something about them. They are a group found predominately in the southwest of the United States. We have been here for generations. We have been here way longer than any anglo. Just a friendly reminder that Texas, New Mexico, California, Nevada and Arizona were formally known as Mexico. So please do not compare this to Estonia. We are talking about Mexicans. So YES you should know something. Pure ignorance.
@@rachelhilton685 Unfortunately, many ranchers in Texas discriminate and do not know that they have Mexican ancestors, another thing is that the southern states of the United States are brothers of the northern states of Mexico because many customs are shared.
@@azahelramirez86 If you're referring to the "Tejano" ranchers discriminating it is because most of them do not have Mexican ancestry. A lot of the so called Mexican Americans or "original Tejanos" are of Spanish ancestry and they have documentation to prove it. They particularly can trace their lineage to Las Islas Canarias. Many Mexicans don't know this and they surely don't go around saying it. It's always funny to me when Mexicans say, "Look, they've lost all their customs and their food". No they haven't. Mexican food is NOT their food. This is why they eat flour tortillas and pasta (sopas) of all kinds. Their accent and grammar conjugations in Spanish is even different because of this. I won't go into the technicality because first, it would take too long and second, you won't believe me if you're Mexican. They have so much history that this group deserves a whole history book by itself. Don't get me wrong, a lot of Texans are of Mexican origin but I'm talking about the original Tejanos that have been here for generations.
I'm from Chihuahua and there are a lot of Mennonites residing there. And they do have great cheese haha.

Pero los mexicas se extinguieron. Los que no mataron los españoles ni murieron de viruela se murieron de hambre.
Mayan Pride! Aka. Pipil! El Salvador!
Although during this particular video a blonde didn't walk by, I can tell from having lived in Mexico that there are numerous blonde and light brown haired, with light complexion natural born Mexican citizens. And seeing a Mexican born citizen with blue or green eyes is not uncommon either.
Homicideinvestigate cuz he is in Mexico City , most of central Mexicans are mixed with more native blood, if you travel north you can see more mixed European blood, and in the south pure native and some black blood Mexicans
Manuel Monge and because many people moved to the city because of its importance, thus varying the people you see
2:18 a blonde lady walked right in front of the camera lol
I was born with dirty blonde hair and I have hazel eyes. But my hair is now black or dark brown but still have my hazel eyes. And of course I have light skin.
And yes I am Mexican.
I went to the US once, and a friend of mine got me a date with a guy she knew from work. After we introduced ourselves he said "you don't look Mexican at all, you're white and pretty". And the asshole genuinely thought it was a compliment and got stupidly mad when I ditched him.

youre not a race. look up the definition, people are mexican by dna and some are just born in mexico the same as other countries which makes that their nationality, its both, so stop spreading lies. if that were the case there would be no races

USA is a younger country than Mexico. Therefore we Mexicans have experienced more intercultural, ethnic and linguistic fusion and mixture through the years. Like the British reporter says, we don't divide ourselves by colors or races. We are LA RAZA COSMICA , MESTIZAJE UNIVERSAL.

Itztáni Meláhuac lmao mexican is too diverse to even call a race tho. 😂😂 figures show about 56+milion of mexican are of european descended.
Well, race is touchy. Mexico tries to claim Aztec and Spanish ancestry at the same time, or neither and creates a conflict of identity. It certainly makes the country more unified that you can say "The Aztecs never left, they just learned Spanish". But I like Mexicans because they find kinship in their Mexican identity over their skin-color.
I have away though this to no one race better then the other.

Lupita Nyong is Black and Kat Von D is White and both were born in Mexico period yet George Lopez would be classified as Mexican because he looks Indian yet he was Born in the US period
Good point. George López is actually US citizen (Born in Mission Hills, CA), not mexican (albeit he can easily obtain mexican citizenship because of his ancestry). In the other hand Lupita Nyong'o or Mario van Peebles were born in Mexico, they are mexican according to mexican law. Dunno about Mario but Lupita has stated several times that she identifies herself as mexican and kenyan at the same time. And IMO Lupita speaks a tad better spanish than George López.
Mexicanopolis true but the point is they're Mexican because they were actually born in Mexico
Yes, I know that. Lupita Nyong'o and Mario van Peebles were born in Mexico City. Kat von D was born in Montemorelos, Nuevo León, and as I said above George Lopez was born in Mission Hills, California.
Yes, and George Lopez refers to himself as Mexican American.
What if you were born in America and moved to Mexico, would that make you American-Mexican? Are there clubs for American-Mexicans to join in Mexico?
Dude, props to you. This has always secretly bothered me. I've had "Mexican" friends who have also said such things as" you don't look Mexican" or " you're white as hell to be Mexican" this of course being because they have never really come back to Mexico or they basically go straight to their towns, where certain ethnicity predominates. Many Mexican Americans have this wrong idea of México.

Hershy Dog those people who say that probably aren't around enough mexicans. so they just go by what they see on tv
I'm mexican american and my family is from Jalisco. We visit our pueblo there every year and it's a small little town and almost 98% of the people there are light skinned; not brown. I'm light skinned and i have blue eyes. haha I see more brown people here in the states(california) than i do when i'm in mexico lol
Raúl hey same, my family is from Jalisco as well, and our town has a bunch of light skinned and white Mexicans , and few browns. I'm freaking pale and I have hazel eyes. My 2 grandparents are blonde with green eyes .
Danilo Andrade lol awesome . my dad has hazel eyes and my mom has green eyes. Lots of people here in the states, when they see me, they think I'm white until I talk to them in Spanish 😂
My family is also from Jalisco ! I hope I can visit it one day, from the pictures and stories my parents have told me, it is a beautiful area.
my family is from Jalisco too hopefully someday I get the chance to visit 😅
Jissel Zuniga haha Yeah, not all Mexicans are brown!
¡Excelente! Es necesario destruir el estereotipo del mexicano. Por otro lado ¿Sería mucho problema agregar subtítulos? Creo que te daría muchísimos más suscriptores.
Gracias! Y gracias por tu sugerencia. Es un cuestion de tiempo!
This channel Is mexican approved, great work! Cheers from México city matices :)
I loved this video man, greeting from Mexicali, Baja California, México!
Great to read.
I’m from Mexicali too!
Me too, Born in Mexicali raised in the U.S.
AlfredSanz J cachanillas unite!!
Very good video, you got it right.
Thanks a lot.
Mexican of Italian ancestry here. Many here in Baja California have Italian, Spanish, Russian, French even English and other European ancestry and also Chinese and Japanese ancestry due to the waves of immigrants to this peninsula , this influx is present in todays cuisine and regional culture and also in our wine-producing areas. Great video again Congrats!
Thanks for that. Baja California seems really diverse. I want to go!
Marco 73 well said come to los cabos
Three decades ago I drove for a high end limo company in LA. I was dispatched to LAX to pick-up well to do young Mexicans that had paid in advance for a full week I was their's 24/7. A really good gig.
So shocked when I met the 5 people. They were more blonde and blue than I was. I had that CA surfer look back then.
It was a great week. Fun, respectful and tri-lingual group. An eye opener for me.
Yup! It’s crazy how many people don’t know that “Mexican” is not a race, it’s a nationality! All Mexicans are unique in their own ways. Glad you are informed about this!
this guy is talking like he's on the animal channel lmao
A JAX I thought that too. I was expecting a Mexican to jump from the tree and grab another Mexican and drag it up into the trees like a jaguar lmao
A JAX ahha like the crocodile hunter like if they are an indanger species ha
Jacks BigBalls LMAO
And here you see the Mexican in his natural habitad...😂
A JAX Lol yeah.Trying to act all pro and shit with the animal planet accent.
Messico é bello!!Saluti!!

finally someone explains this
Grizzybear colin nah nah plz don't comment this somewhere else
Thank you paul for showing the world the beauty of Mexico lindo y querido. I live in United States, but Mexico lives in me.
Most of people in the US think that Mexico is the worst ever even when they haven't had visited it yet. God bless you paul.
I'm happy you like my videos!
They also think that all of the country is either like the border cities or the famous beaches like Vallarta, cancun or los cabos
I have blonde hair and green eyes. I've been told my whole life I don't look mexican. I'm so used to it now :D
Jess Mx woah! You do look white, but again Mexicans can be in different color skin, hair, eyes etc. I. Just pale lol what part of Mexico is your family from?
Jess Mx marry me
yes youre gorgeous and anybody would love to be your partner, but I dont like when people like you always make that kind of comment. because you just make feel bad the 95% of the mexican dark people
Jess Mx u are the beautiful Mexican kind of white girl 🤓 🏋😌💃
Lol I'm full mexican too and I have blonde hair but blue eyes
Great video!
I suggest you upload this on Facebook so more people can view this and understand that Mexican is not a race. :)
Thanks! Yeah you are right I should do it with the translation too.
Yess! A lot of people can get educated just by watching this video
Thanks again :)
stupid, if thats the case there is no such thing as race, its a sub-race created by rape of our people, you gonna tell african americans theyre not a race either? every country has people born there that dna is from somewhere else, so thats their nationality not race, we are mexican by dna, others are mexican by nationality, you people need to look up the definitions of race and nationality, and while youre at it culture and ethnicity too cause uneducated morons bring those up in arguement also. smh.
Great video. You have my respect, keep it up. I expect you can grow up as a youtuber.
I’ve never heard so many facts in one video ! Great job 👏🏻👏🏻
Paul, as usual, you rock! Great video, man. Thank you!
Thanks. You rock too!
This video is very informative. The same happens in every Latin American country. Greetings from El Salvador.
Saludos desde Mexico hasta El Salvador!
You are from England but for me, you are Mexican, my man.
Being Mexican is by heart.
De hecho he notado que para los gringos es un tema digno de comentar o de aplaudir como si fuera algo que los hace buenos o especiales decir que tienen amigos de diferente raza a la suya, mientras que los mexicanos nunca nos damos cuenta de qué color son nuestros amigos ni nuestra pareja, de hecho hasta que no vemos vídeos como este caemos en cuenta de que tenemos amigos, pareja, padre o madre, hermanos del mismo padre y madre de diferente color al nuestro.
Totalmente, mis tíos son el ejemplo... Hay muy morenos de piel y cabello casi afro y otro rubios de ojos verdes y son hermanos... Y no había puesto atención hasta ver este vídeo.
LOL that is so true. I love the way you put it "diverse genetic" make up. Also, the distinction of Mexican race vs. citizenship...So you know, there have been many waves of immigration to Mexico, not only Spanish. There have been waves of Lebanese, Spanish, Cuban, Tunesian, Syrian, Argentinean, Italians, Chinese, Korean, and many more ethnic groups that have had descendants in Mexico. Thank you for mentioning the Afro-Mexicans in the south, Veracruz and Yucatan areas. I am the descendant of Lebanese Jews and mixed with Native Mexican. Great Video! You should make one of class, racism, casts, and association with wealth. Thanks again, love your channel to the point of being hooked! Ha!
Great comment!!! It was interesting to read that. And thanks for your new video ideas too.
Siempre con excelente contenido :D !
Gracias!
Finally someone who get things right!! Thanks mate! 👌🏻
Pleasure!
he got it all wrong tbh. usually love his videos but this is 100% wrong.
this gave me a lot of confidence!! i am a second generation of mexican and i look american (while also living in america) and all i hear is “you dont look mexico” when people ask me what my nationality is. my whole life ive been trying to “look mexican” or “sound mexican” because of what everyone was saying. everyday, i heard “if you were mexican you’d have this ___” and all that stuff. and this honestly made me appreciate that i’m a white mexican. yes i still would like to look a little different but i can’t change how i look.
Ven a México a visitarnos paisana... Saludos y bendiciones
As a Mexican, I want to tell you that you did a very good job in this video. Very well, lad.
Thanks amigo I appreciate that.
Hey Paul! yeah, I don't understand why Americans are so obsessed with race... my great grandmother was British, so you are my Primo muy lejano xD
bcuz racist blacks?
Hola primo!
roodles prease Not exactly. My skin color does not condition my relation with other Mexicans. We don't have something like "white Mexicans tend to do this and this is why we can't get along with mestizos" or something like that. Contrary to the Americans, who have like race groups... latinos (not even a race) with latinos, whites with whites and so on.
Glors Dabre
When your here you have to get an alliance and the only way here seems to be by race. I hate that it has to be this way. You can't just go travel in the US without worrying about racism. A lot of people don't are pushed into that by others who see everything through the racial lense. All you have to do is read the comments in a video and race will always come up.
IM Mexican !
Dalila Hernandez im Chinese
I’m Italian, so what
no shit, i could spot you by your facial features a mile away
I'm glad you clarified. At first glance I was thinking you were El Salvadorean.
Carlos lol what el Salvadorian don't look like her she looks mexican
thanks for sharing this with all the world

There are over 200 indigenous groups still living with their own culture in Mexico ;3 most of them in extreme poverty because the government could care less about them :c
Im from Sinaloa and here we have more white mixed race than brown or black, when I go to Mexico City I can see that there are a lot of brown and smaller ppl than in the north. We have brown, white, black, asian etc Mexicans around the country. Great video!
Not in Coahuila or Tamaulipas most people are tipical mestizos there
Sinaloa tiene a las mujeres más bellas de México.
WowSabrosa3
nah, las tiene Jalisco
Thanks!
I’m from Jalisco and people ask me are you Russian and when I say 💯 Mexican they go oooo u don’t look like it and I respond by saying well have you visited every part of Mexico? No well than don’t assume
Native Mexican = Native American , the indigenous people of the American continent.
in Mexico reside 56 Ethnic groups, like the mayans, purepechas, raramuris, Lacandones, yaquis etc.. Each with its own culture, language, and of course physical appearance.
To this diversity are added the Europeans, Arabs, and other peoples of the world.
Therefore, Mexicans can have many physical appearances.
It really is incredible.
99% of mexicans are mainly native americans or ameindians 1% is other. Like anyother country in the Americas, Dominican Republic are mainly mulato or black as 90% , Argentines are 97% white, Colombia 30% white, 60% mixed, 10% black and so on. But Mexico is the most indigenous country in the Americas.
G Reinsther 99% of natives ? Mexico is 60-90% Mestizo(Mixed) 20-25% whites. 11% Indigenous and 1 other. We're not all natives . Your wrong.
G reinsther my nigga thats like saying 99% of Germans are blond haired and blue eyed. Latin American stats are all wrong, they are not accurate at all. Ive had clearly mestizo looking latinos come up to me and claim to be "white". I say bullshit.
Eduardo you are also wrong. Those stats are from the early 20th century. There have been no official racial census since.
Mexico is actually a very wealthy country the reason most people live in poverty is because there is an inequality in the distribution of that wealth.
Jozeph Reyes and corruption in the government
David Galindo the us is heading that way
Jozeph Reyes lol i mean the economic gap between the rich and the working class is growing and the middle class is shrinking in the US while its growing in Mexico.
Jozeph Reyes 😂😂😂 ikr. its all thanks to the Mexican people that it is getting better despite their bs government theyve managed to grow their economy with hard work and dedication. and now even more immigrants are migrating to mexico. in the us the net is negative now of mexicans coming in to the us actually more have been leaving for the past couple years
+Jozeph Reyes guesstimating we have to wait30+ years for that...
This is the first video I see objective and real !!!
Thanks for this video. The ethnicity diversity in Mexico is similar as in Brazil.
Nah Brazil is way more diverse, like 90% of Mexico's population is Mestizo or Native American.
+Humberto Martinez Prove Me wrong.
It's similar in that there is large ethnic diversity in Mexico, as there is in Brazil.
However, they differ statistically in ethnic makeup.
098lennox Mexico's native population makes it one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world according to geneticists. I don't think you understand the true definition of diversity.
In Dominican Republic, Cuba and Puerto Rico as well.
yeah this video should be taught in schools maybe there would be a lot less racism in the U.S. not all mexicans look like speedy gonzalez or enjoy mariachi music
Commander dude, I am mexican & I agree with your comment, but I can't take you seriously with that profile name "el Kommander". 😂😂😂 Just Kidding.
would there be a problem if all mexican looked like that? would it be bad? :O why?
Some of we enjoy goregrind
I enjoy mariachi music :'v
but most do
Guys... This basically applies for all Central and South America. It's the same thing, but in different percentages. All these countries passed through a process of mixing, and there are left a few of pure race (native indigenous people or African black people) . Latin American people, we are mixed raced (and a minority of pure race), there's not such a thing as "Mexican race or Brazilian or whatever". Those are nationalities. Now, out of the mixed people, some have stronger European ancestry that gets to be shown in their features, or black or indigenous. For example, in my country, Colombia, in comparison to Mexico, the native indigenous people percentage is much more lower, but there's a higher in black (or black mixed/descendant ). There is plenty of light skinned people (especially in the central regions or big cities). The majority of European ancestry in my country is, obviously from Spain, but also in a lower percentage British, German, Italian etc... There's also a considerable number of middle eastern descendance. I just find so interesting this topic, for example my two grandfathers are "white" or light skined better (one was blonde also) and my two grandmothers have darker skin, and I'm light skinned and my two siblings are light dark skined. And that's just an example of how rich and diverse we are in Latin America. In countries like Perú or Bolivia there are higher percentages of indigenous people, whereas in southern countries like Argentina or Uruguay the "white" percentage of people is higher (there's big Italian ancestry in there). Now to finish this was a very nice video, very educative especially against the stereotypes and ignorance in these topics in the USA as an effect of their centralist culture... That give birth to people thinking that there's people speaking "mexican", or that Brazilians speak Spanish, or that people from Spain are Latinos, or appropriating the name of a whole continent to refer to their country and nationality and spread it and make it seem correct internationally or thinking that "hispano" is a race (that one gives me headaches).
PD: US people "hispano" (origin of the word: old region of Hispania, current España (Spain)) refers to a Spanish speaking individual, not a race or a country of origin, hence, people from Spain (europians) are Hispanic and people from Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, French Guayana and/or speaking native indigenous languages across countries in Central/South America are NOT hispanic. Hispanic, to put it in context is to Spanish what francophone is to French, and anglophone is to English. I swear once you guys understand that you will realize how wrong is its use and can educate other people.
You are intelligent
Diego Alejandro, claro que en Colombia hay mucha gente de raza negra porque parte del plan Republicano de Abraham Lincoln sobre qué hacer con las personas de la raza negra una vez emancipados era deportarlos para Colombia y Panamá. También se crearon ciertas negociaciones con países africanos para que aceptaran a la mayoría de la población negra, pero muy pocos decidieron volver a sus tierras natales.
JC F esa no es la rozon principal la razon por los negros en colombia es el trafico de esclavos en la epoca colonial ...
JC F .... black race was brought to the americas as slaves, north central, south and Caribbean islands) . To work in plantations. These poor run for freedom and some other scape . They are all in the Ocean coast of Pacific and Atlantic.They settle there! In my country 25% of the black community speaks British English , 70%speak Spanish and 5% speak 150 indigenous dialects
Martha Bck are you from centralamerica?
I live in Texas, and came from Monterrey
It’s so stupid to hear that I’m not a Mexican because of being white :/
(Fun fact, I always considered myself as white, but Americans don’t see me as white because I was born in Mexico, even if my skin color is even lighter than theirs. I just don’t get it, lol. )
Braulio Alvarado my friend lol.
Don’t say “higher genes”
Someone will call u a nazi lol
@@mysticqro950 bro you are white you don't have to be blonde and blue eyed don't let the white american anglos tell you other wise embrace your ethnicity and your race
We are a country blessed by diversity. Gretting from Coahuila de Zaragoza, north of Mexico.
Gracias. Saludos desde CDMX :)
Wow small world, My mom is half Mexican & half German & my dad is Spanish. I actually went to Zaragoza last year, Its by Morelos and Allende right?
Greetings Paul I really like the way you learning about our culture as a Mexican I know we have a lot of problems but still the Ppl have a big hart .....your videos are great
Thank you!
Alfredo Lara You could do worse than being a Mexican. Stop defining us in terms of problems & start defining who we are in terms of opportunities & solutions!
Yeah I met a guy born in Canada with Indian ethnicity and he told me that I didn't look like a Mexican, I told him that he didn't look like canadian either then he realized his stupidity
That's an awesome story.
***** ain't read it, but thanks
Ondskan Bolton basándome en tu respuesta al canadiense y tu respuesta a Itztani Melahuac das respuesta cortas pero efectivas Jajajaja
Ondskan Bolton He is like that... Just ignore him...
LOL that's a W
I like your video. You're right, my grandparents arrived to Mexico from Barcelona, Spain in the first half of the 20th Century. During my school age years I was called "Gachupin" a word to connote Spaniard because my persona looks more European than traditional Mexican. There're certain small towns in the High Plains (Altos de Jalisco) State of Jalisco were the population look more European: white men & women with with green or blue eyes like certain towns of the States of Sonora, Sinaloa, Zacatecas, Chihuahua Durango, and Nuevo León.
