Stereotypes, stereotypes….stereotypes…she’s beautiful PERIOD. Many Mexicans look so different than the ones you are used to see in USA. There are Caucasians in all Spanish speaking countries. There is not such a thing as “pure breed” that make you see with your eyes if the person is from a Spanish speaking country, unless they belong to a native indigenous group. So stop saying that “she doesn’t look Mexican” because you need to google some Mexican celebs. you’ll be surprised!
