Yup its true northern mexico is the opposite of southern mexico meaning that people in northern mexico are more white than native and people from southern mexico are more native than white. Of corse there are exceptions because some people are more mixed.

@ the user “…”
She isn’t half Irish. Did you even bother to read the bio they have written for her on this site?
It says: her mother being half Irish and Mexican and her father being Mexican.
That makes her a quarter Irish. NOT half. Do you not comprehend mathematics?!
She is more Mexican than anything. 3/4 Mexican and 1/4 Irish. Oh yeah that predominately White.. whatever.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned that she looks like she has Indian (South Asian people, not Native American people) ancestry. I’ve seen a lot of Indian women who look similar to her.

First of all, she’s ugly as sin so why would someone want to claim her based on attractivness? Second of all she’s half Irish half Mexican so unless her Mexican parent is a 100% Native American, she’s pred. white! Most Mexicans have at least some European blood and I doubt one of her parents is Indio. She obviously looks pred. white. Have you actually seen white people? Gtfo here and go visit Europe before you talk stupidity.

I live in Europe and I can tell you she’s not “pure” white at all.
Well, she looks mixed but not pred. white.
You just have to look at her features, her nose, her eyes and then her skin tone and hair color. She doesn’t look 100% native but she looks multiracial with pred. native american.
More than 70% of mexicans are mestizos.
Eva Longoria is a white mexican, Sara isn’t a white mexican and yes she’s GORGEOUS.

yeah Northern Mexico is more genetically speaking whiter
but central mexico (except for Puebla and Mexico City) is more white also, their ancestry is more arab/Italian/French/Spanish while Northern Mexican ancestry is more Jewish(hebrew)/Spanish/ German
the Southern Part of Mexico like Oaxaca is more indigenos, while Veracruz is more Pardo(mixture of native, european and black)
