Looks Asian, but is 100% Mexican?

Madge Voice: Asian means a a person or thing from Asia. Asia is a continent. You will find people of all colors and races in Asia. Mexican means a person or thing from Mexico. Mexico is a country. Anyone born in Mexico is by law a Mexican 100%. Mexicans can look like anyone else on the planet. All races and racial mixtures are found in Mexico.Spanish is a nationaliy also so Spanish means a person or thing from Spain. Almost all Spaniards (Spanish people) are white. Spanish is also a language. Most people in Mexico speak Spanish, but some people, Mexican Indians who prefer to be called "indigenous people" are somethimes not fluent in Spanish. The ancestors of these peopel came from the continent of Asia to the continent of North America where Mexico is many thousands of years ago.Some 100% Mexicans look like thishttp://www.flickr.com/photos/supernovamx/225987188......Show more

Willetta Munhall: A lot of Mexicans look asiatic. Maybe it's because they came across the A! leutian land bridge 10,000 years ago. Anyway, asian or mexican, I am still not going to eat them. But hey, that's just me!

Micah Schwarcz: Native Mexicans may look like people of southeast Asia, even American Indians such as the Pueblo. We generally think Mexicans are part Spanish, part native, but there are still many purebred indigenous people from Mexico. Perhaps she was one of them.

Cherlyn Tefera: I know not what this has to with ethnic cuisine but I'll tell you what I know. If you search the Kon Tikiyou will find that an experiment was done in the 1940s by Thor Heyerdahl that proved that people could travel across the Pacific Ocean from Peru to Polynesia in a raft of balsa wood and reeds. Since this is possible then the South American Indians and Polynesians(Asians) could easily have interbred and shared genes and characteristic looks. North American Indians are thought to have come from Asia and traveled down to South America. That is the reason! many Western North & South American Indians have Asian charac! teristics as well as DNA markers. Eastern North American on the other hand carry DNA with Eurasian (European-Norse) markers....Show more

Ilana Gaster: What does this long-winded 'question' have to do with Ethnic Cuisine? Who cares what this young lady looks like, and what her heritage actually is (other than you)?

Letitia Bigelow: I'm not gonna lie. My best friend is Spanish and her sister looks just like an Asian.I totally get what you mean.

Arleen Bussing: People have alot of things in their genes from way back, she could have asian in her ancestry and not even know. One day down the line a baby is born looking different then their mother and father, it's just recessive genes. I've known mexicans born with red hair, even though both parents have black hair, probably means some great great great..etc grandfather was a red head.
