leslie, your such an idiot. not all mexicans are spanish and native read some history books, or travel mexico, or if you are mexican than travel outside of your city or state, go to guerrero, oaxaca, or veracruz and you will see alot of afro-mestizos. or go to michoacan which has a large german community, and the list goes on and on, yes mexico was invaded by spain, but there were also french invasions, thus 5 de mayo!!! with out the french the war in puebla wouldnt of taken place and no 5 de mayo for the americans to celebrate, lol. but my point is there are so many other race mixes in mexico than just spanish and native. or european and native. african and asian not indian but actual asian blood are found all through out mexico, of course some areas more than others.

That 3% African can be found in many European people, i saw a documentary in the UK which showed an englishman with upto 7% Sub-Saharan ancestry but it didnt mean he looked non-English, since 3% is so small, that it wouldnt alter your general appearence, that goes for 3% of any ancestry, more than 10% id say is different, with some appearences being more dominant than others.

Thank God for wat exactly? Her being darker is such a problem? wow i still have a problem with any one who thinks being black, brown or even caramel is disgusting. My mission? to drag them to hell for putting black people down lol.
Ps: there’s not such thing as 100% mexican, cos as everyone in the world(except you of course) know that mexicans are a blend of european(mostly spanish) native american and some african, u moron. Thank god my ass

Don’t forget that she is part African. Many Mexicans have Afro-mestizo roots, not just mestizo.
