He looks like a African American mixture,just George Lopez all of them are mostly African despite the fake eurocentric small dna gene pool test. The whole population Mexico are mixed with African peoples.

Maybe most do have African ancestry, and what´s your point? Unlike you, these guys are proud to represent their country and from where they came. They understand that it took many different peoples (Europeans, Natives, Africans, Asians) to build a country out of nothing. Americans need to take a little more pride in their heritage as well and stop trying to separate based on only one ancestrial lineage. We are all mixed up, and I´m a mixed up AMERICAN!

The whole mexican population isnt mixed with black only in some parts of Mexico, black slaves werent used in all of Mexico only some parts. Where his family is from, there were no slaves brought out there, they use native americans as slaves instead.

You are a huge moron, not all mexicans are mixed with African. Many spaniards either tried to restrict themselves from mixing with blacks or even indigenous, also there were many european immigrant groups in mexico that came and mixed with the native cultures which obviously were not all slaves… i have european lineage that evaded mixing with native cultures by arranged marriages for generations. Though yes, many people in the whole world have African ancestry even if very far back- but that would include europe- therefore not in the context you seem to speak of.

Very few Mexicans have ‘only’ Native blood, sorry to rain on your parade. Those Mexicans you think are just pure native in the United States, you know: that walking swagger, ‘hey Essai!!’..those dudes are not as Native as they think. They have a lot of watered down Spanish ancestry. The Spaniards impregnanted every single Native woman, it was mandated by the crown to increase local populations. You want Native, look at the people from the Amazonian Jungle.
Oh, by the way, I look like George Lopez and have 57% European ancestry with a tremendous amount or Rb1 which is only found in Western Europe (Spain/Portugal).

@Gago
LMAO,they didn’t impregnated every single Native woman.Next there were more Africans and mixed Africans there than Spaniards all the way up to at least the late 1800′s.Also Rb1 is also founded in Africa,plus Western Europe (Spain/Portugal)have been flooded with black people for who knows how long.In some places in Portugal the black blood % is still high

spoken like a true afrocentric idiot. blacks were there mixing with indians way before spanish ??? blacks only got to america as slaves u retard. why do u think blacks arent rly attuned tp swimming and sea water cuz theyre not rly that naval as u think. so what did they use to get over the ocean ???? rafts ?? its not a river stupid. plus spain and portugal rarely mixed with africans in ure book. cuz those africans were actually arabs not subsaharan blacks. u must live in USA cuz u think that african automatically means black. what a mule.

Hes probably around 60-65% european and the rest native but as a baby he looked asian, so he might have asian in him somewhere down the line. In the state that his parents are from, the mestizos are normally 60-65% european or even higher.

You’re right. he looks Native and Spanish. His eyes especially look Native with their almond shape. He’s cute!

the reason why he looks asian is cuz natove americans cary the asian pool gene so they have similar eyes therefor if he inherited it from his native side that would register as asian.
