    • Naza says:

      It’s no wonder because Mexicans or Native Americans they carry both Asian and European genes I mean being exactly not genes but face features which was caused by this merciless nature it’s logical when e.g. Englishman and Chinese woman mix they get latinoamerican “kid-face”)))It’s an axiom, unfortunately)))

    • marjanel says:

      There is not something like looking hispanic.If that would be the case,it would not be a indigenous descent but a 100% Spanish white person

      • cwm85 says:

        People are so ignorant aren’t they? People can look asian and white. Black and white, native and white but no one can look Hispanic. Hispanic only means spanish speaking…

    • midori29 says:

      @WTF very uneducated statement you have made. Mexican is not a race. Mexicans are a combination of white, indian, and African peoples. They mixed to create Mexicans and modern day Mexico. There are three main distinct racial categories only, white, black and indian/asian. Evry other country is a mixture. Arab and hispanic are not races. Hispanic is a language and Arab is an organized religeon and a a way of life.
