Of course Mexicans are White and Native American. Look up the meaning of what La Raza means it has something to do with taking pride of mexicans’ native roots.
Taking pride in Mexico is only part of it. Jose, wanted you guys to be the so called perfect race or cosmic race. He didn’t. Want you to just be Euro and Indian, but a combination of all the races, he just wanted you to look more like Europeans. That’s. What he meant by la raza, cosmic race
wtf his dad looks fuckin white like a menonita he has blue eyes
Mexicans are Mexicans if they were native they’d be considered native. If they were Spanish that’s what they’d be. Since there isn’t full breed anymore you are considered whatever country you are born in also depending on the generation. He is Mexican-American.
He’s racially confused, the guy has a tan he’s not BROWN.
Do a DNA test I promise you the majority will be European with some native.
Hey Asshole Cain Velasquez is Mexican Leave it at that!!!!!!!
Quit being gealous!!!
@ Brad
He’s not BROWN indeed. He’s playing a role.
he’s a mestizo, his father looks like a pure blood indian and his mother looks like a lightskin asian, hes half indigenous american and half european like most mexicans… im 62 percent native american mexican,i took a autosomal dna admixture test, i know how genetics works…

The majority of mestizos are not half white /Indian.they’re. Usually more Euro then Indian and then African, and in many cases Asian
