George Lopez is an American comedian, actor, and television personality. He was the host of the show Lopez Tonight from 2009 to 2011.
His father, Anatasio Lopez, was a Mexican emigrant, from Nayarit. His mother, Frieda, was born in Los Angeles, of Mexican descent. George has a daughter, actress Mayan Lopez, with his former wife Ann Serrano.
George’s paternal grandparents were named Francisco Lopez and Josefa.
George’s maternal grandfather was John Hernandez (the son of Pedro Hernandez and Raphaela Vargas). John was born in California, to parents from Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico.
George’s maternal grandmother was Benita N. Torres (the daughter of Alfonso Torres and Manulea Mares). Benita was born in California. Manuela was born in Santiago Apostol, Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico, the daughter of Lucio Mares and Maria Guadalupe Héras. George’s step-grandfather was named Refugio Gutierrez.
A DNA test whose results were displayed on the show Lopez Tonight (2009) stated that George’s genetic ancestry is:
*55% European
*32% Native American
*9% East Asian
*4% Sub-Saharan African
The exact accuracy of the DNA tests on Lopez Tonight has been questioned by genealogist Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak.
If your mexican your mixed with atleast somthing! either asian,sub-saharan or european decent!!! Thts why some of them look white others look asian and sum even black! dnt forget the dark ones there propably of native amercan decent
well i thought george was a native american he is funny
I’ve read that many many Latinos do not claim their African ancestry in Latin countries even though Africans were an important part of their countries history, especially in the Caribbean.
You’d be surprised how many people do not know the difference between race, ethnicity and nationality.
Spanish is also a nationality (Spain).
But Should George Claim It If Its 4%
Mexicans Are Mixed With European,Native American Descent Well They Are Mostly European But They Are Called Mestizos!!!
I Guess The Reason Why They Would Call Their selves Mestizo Rather Than European Is Because They Have A Significant Amount Of Native American!
