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.
LMAO WHO EVERY WRITES THESE “RACES” NEEDS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL STARTING WITH GEOGRAPHY BECAUSE MEXICAN IS NOT A RACE!!! WHAT YOU DESCRIBED THERE “(European, Native American, East Asian, sub-Saharan African)” ARE WHAT MAKES A LATINO.
LATINOS ARE MAJORITY PEOPLE OF MIXED RACE. YOU CAN BE MEXICAN OR CUBAN OR PUERTO RICAN OR COSTA RICAN AND BE OF MOSTLY EUROPEAN HERITAGE WITH NATIVE AND AFRO. THIS IS WHAT MAKES US.
LEARN YOUR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RACES AND HERITAGE/NATIONALITY.
I mean does it really matter for you to get all heated about this? In the end they’re all Latino. When people ask them what ethnicity they are, mostly likely they’ll say Latino or where ever there parents claim they’re from. They aren’t going to get all scientific about it. And you’re telling people to learn about their backgrounds when George took a test for it, and scientist are the one who examines those type of this. That versus your word? Sorry, but I’d rather stick to the people who do that type of things for a profession.
Mexican Is A Race Hunny Cuz Looky Here Mexicans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans Or Any Other Latinos Have Different BackGrounds Traditions And Accents Yeah We Are Called Latnos But Thats Because We Speak The Same Language Spanish But We Have Different Ways Of Talking It ; Understand Now ?
Mexican isn’t a race booboo. It’s an ethnicity.
actually mexican is not a race or an ethnicity. any country in the americas has people who are descended from africa asia and europe
humans don’t have races
Mexican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican is not a race. There are people of every racial background in those regions. Don’t be a simpleton. I have met a Puerto Rican who was black as night and I have also met a Puerto Rican who was blond with blue eyes. Puerto Rican is culture, not race.
i totally agree with u. all this ppl r so stupid they should stop talking rap and talk to an ACUAL latino/latina amd learn it is possible 4 him to be more european.genes r not always shown on ppls apperences!!!
im mexican and im a mestizo and i know alot of ppl tht r like george and r more than half european than the other races!!!!!!
G lopez is of his own RACE and that is UGLY…..YUCK, YUCK,YUCk he is NOT ATTRACTive AT ALLLLL
You are absolutely right! Especially with his ugly acne scars. You can see them great, now that tv has is in high def. It’s kind of stupid that they gave him such a sexy woman in his tv show though. The should have paired him better.
Hhaha Its Funny That Yall Make Fun Of Looks ! Yall Crack Me Up ! It Seems Like Yall Havent Looked In The Mirror Lately Well Make Sure Yall Have A GOOD Look Before Yall Open Your Mouth So Yall Can Realize That No One I Perfect !
That’s nice. Thanks PC police.
No such as 50/50, perfect races period. I do not insult anyone…nor mean any attacks on anyones personal truths. My intent was purely for people to thank Mr.Lopez and take this lightly. God be with us/you all. Fight for the BLOOD TESTS=TRUTH. BE PROUD OF WHAT WE ARE…GIVE INTO THE TRUTH!!!
George your awesome, and this is just to shew the ignorance is all! Its a blind nation of northerners and americans to say ignorant statements…”oh, the four percent black I can believe”!!….he also has native american idian you idiots, that tan isn’t of blacks…your jerk heads! BUT YOUR SMALLNESS REDNECKED NORTHERNER WAYS ARE FORGIVEN WITH JESUS CHRIST. UM, RIGHT ON MR.Lopez just forgive, don’t forget to make them remember Mr.Lopez you guys!!! Thank you too much.
Yess ! You Are So Right :)
You can definitely tell there are European influences on George’s facial features. Even though he’s dark skinned, could you really imagine him with long hair dressed like a traditional Aztec? I know I can’t, simply because his facial features really aren’t very NA, they’re pretty European. Also American Indians in the US somehow have weaker genes than tribes farther south because a lot people who are half Native hardly look Native, and most quarter-bloods just look white. The thing that’s funny is how he just looks NA to most people, but he’s actually got a very diverse mixture.
Do you guys know black people have been in Mexico for centuries?that also includes the north.that metizo meant three ethnicities not just two
Here something about them
http://www.hispanictips.com/2010/04/01/documentary-series-features-history-of-afro-latinos-%E2%80%9Cafro-latinos-the-untaught-story%E2%80%9D-afro-latinos-la-historia-que-nunca-nos-contaron%E2%80%9D/
Dude, did you know that there are many Arab and Asian Mexicans who have been there for centuries too? Why didn’t you bring them up? Btw, mestizo means indigenous mixed with white. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casta
To is
No one forgets to mention them,that why I don’t have to bring them up,it’s just Africans they forget;who came with the Spaniards,and continue to.Also the change the definition of Mestizo,it use to include African or any combo of the three.Now I got mine information from a history museum,and the Spanish census ,so I’m pretty sure it’s true
To is
I also left that information in Eva Longoria part of the site also(under the name fuzzybear)
His facial features are pretty European???..despite being half european ….he looks nothing like a European…dont know how you can come up with this..sorry…
Eva Longoria on the other hand has mianly european features .thin nose, mouth, slim face…despite her igonorance in thinking she was manily Native american origin…where does she think she gets her facial features from ..native americans dont have this look…some people are ignorant…even her father claimed he was from Spain in origin (although not entirly) and that her aunt clamed to be spanish and not mexican….which suprised her….these poeple..
http://news.yahoo.com/s/huffpost/20101007/cm_huffpost/754316
if she’s so proud of claiming to be more native american/indigenous then why call her self latin all the time and not go around calling herself Mayan?…..
THE REASON WHY THIS IS HAPPING IS NOT BEAUSE THE PPL DON NO THE GOVERNMENT MEXICO IS NOT EVEN MEXICAN WELL SOME ARE AND THIS IS WHAT IS TAUGHT LAST PRESIDENT MR FOX HAVE NO NATIVE BLOOD AND YES THERE WAD SLAVERY IN MEXICO BUT MEXICO WAS RULED UNDER SPAIN AFTER MEXICO WAS THE 1 COUNTRY TO BAND SLAVERY IN ALL AMERICA THE PPL HELP AFRICAN AMERICSN TO ESCAPE TO MEXICO AWAY FROM THAT. MEXICO IS A GREAT COUNTRY IS THE PPL WHO MAKE NOT THIS CURROPT MEXICAN GOVERNMENT. OO AND MEXICAN ARE NATIVE AMERICAN SO.U WOULD CALL THEM MAYAN DUM PPL.STOP HATING ON OUR HISTORY
