I'm speaking from personal experience, and from talking to Mexicans that i've known. Particularly when working in the restaurant industry, you could tell the Mexico City folks from the Guadalajara folks from the Juarez/Chihuahua folks very easily, from features like nose shape and facial proportions. Southern Mexicans with a lot of amerindian tended to be much shorter/stockier also.Originally posted by Caligastia
That's pretty interesting...are there any websites that detail this or are you just speaking from experience?<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

You might be able to find some statistics on how many people in Mexico report as mestizo, how many are mostly indigenous (~10%) and how many report as being European only.Originally posted by Patroklos
Mexicans, the ones in Mexico at least, are acutely aware of who has European ancestry and who doesn't. If I could read Spanish, I am sure the statistics would be easy enough to find.
What I doubt you'll find are the numbers of migrants belonging to each of these categories or the actual breakdown of ancestry of mestizos.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

What project are you talking about?Originally posted by Caligastia
Prior to 1965 American immigration policies overwhelmingly favored immigrants from Western nations. Until then (and even at that point), it was always taken for granted that America would be a majority-white nation. The giant social engineering project has been to massively increase non-western immigration.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Only a small percentage have entirely European ancestry
So, explain to me exactly what you meant by these two quotes. I particularly like how you conflate "Western" with "white".

Well, speaking as an American of Mexican heritage, I'm pretty much against the idea of "low-level" terrorism happening in either country! And the fact that, as you correctly point out, such violence has happened in the past in the United States perhaps makes the argument stronger to create a firewall against the possibility of this occurring in the future, no?Originally posted by KrazyHorse
Quebec and Belgium are prime examples of the social explosion that never came (mod some pretty low-level attempts at terrorism). The last I checked they were both peaceful, democratic, rich places. Do you want to bet which society (US, Quebec, Belgium) has had more domestic identity-related violence over the past hundred years?
The most you can point to in those places is some angst and the possibility that at some unspecified point in the future they might end up voting for their own president (or whatever). So what?
(Of course, there are plenty of other examples in the rest of the world involving similar disputes that were quite bloody (the Basques leap to mind. As does Northern Ireland.))
It also doesn't take much imagination to see the potential for conflict, particularly when the country from which so many of these immigrants come from still nurses grievances against the U.S. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lapl...-reconque.html"The nation that controls magnesium controls the universe."

Well, we know for sure that those with entirely European ancestry would be accepted as white. The rest may or may not be considered white depending on the mix.Originally posted by KrazyHorse

So why is it Cali and KH return on the same day?
