    Duh "so if you're from (insert the name of anywhere in LatinAmerica), why are you white?"

    I am tired of this question! Not only do I find it extremely ignorant and self centered (as if only white people is a North America/Europe thing) but also extremely rude.

    I swear; the next person that ask me that question, I will beat him/her up to death


    Ok, ok, ok...I will calm down.

    Yeah, the world is full of amateur genealogists who, unfortunately, see things pretty much in black and white. Don't forget that most of these whiz-kids couldn't find Washington DC on a map of the US much less understand that Central and South America, as well as every other continent in the world, were settled by ethnic groups from all over the world over thousands of years so yeah, not everyone looks the same! Don't let these know-it-all idiots get to you. Their ignorance is hurting them more than it hurts you

    I have a friend from Argentina who has blonde hair and blue eyes, and a friend from Venezuela who has green eyes and light brown hair. They both get this all the time.

    Don't people realize a lot of those countries were settled by Europeans? Idiots.

    From what I understand that many of the countries are pretty much European and therefore white. According to a South American classmate (can't remember where she was from)most of the countries have huge European populations and even the countries with a mixture like Brazil still have white people. I find though that people think if someone is darker or from another country they can't be white. Mexico for example has a lot of pure Europeans, though when people think of Mexico they think of the Mestizos because those are a huge majority of the ones who come to the USA. I've even had people tell me that people from countries like Greek, Italy, Spain etc aren't white because they are darker usually but this is also a myth since I personally know blonde Spaniards and Italians. Also there is a thing called white Hispanic

    People are just stupid.

    Most of those "darker" white people are just darker because they live closer to the tropics; as simple as that. And yes, aside from Spanish people, Italians, Irish, German, and Portuguese played a huge role into populating Latin America. In fact, the Caribbean was like a escape goat for lots of Irish people in the 18th century.

    I answer "I am American." they ask "are you from here"? Me-I just said I'm American! Them-"you look mixed and exotic" Me-rolls eyes "Thank you BB"
    "Light skin" is "white" to my dad. He is light but dark for a "white" man. In America he is white. Where he is from he is "light". Here in America when a person says "light skin" it means a lighter version of a "ebony" man. (now Im starting to get confused) I just say American. If a man is looking at my camera and pictures he sees what color my skin is, my hair, obv he is not blind just stupid.

    "On my sixteenth birthday, I was taken away to a highly-selective finishing school where beautiful young women are trained to be the world's best lap dancers. During my years there learning to give the most sensual dances imaginable, my skin was lightened as a result of the various lotions, creams, and moisturizers we used. That's why I appear white. So, would you like to get a VIP and see what all of my training accomplished?"

    That's true. Many people don't even realize that white people can be dark. The blonde Spaniards and Italians I knew were from the northern areas.

    Kelly,

    Spaniards are Caucasians. Naturally Blonde and Blue eyed. The Spaniards from the southern regions of Andalusia and Cataluna have Arab genes mixed in from the Moorish invasion in the Middle Ages. Hence, dark hair and brown eyes, and dark complected skin. If you go to the North in Galicia there a bunch of red heads and play bag pipes descended from Celts. The Basques in North east Spain claim decendency from Neandarthals in their genes.

    Spaniard refer to themselves as Iberian or Ibericos, and Latin America if their feeling generous Indios. Hispanic is an invention of the census bureau.

    ^My great great grandparents from my dad's side are Basque (that's where my height comes from), while my maternal great great grandparents are Andaluz/Irish (hence the dark hair/eyes); many people from her side are redheads due to the Irish in them (back in PR we call them "colora'os").

    and yes, Hispanic is just something the Nixon administration invented for the census.

    It is is interesting that the average dolt may not think twice about people of European decent from Australia, New Zealand, and probably even South Africa, but Central and South America are a mystery land of demographics. I'm not so sure the term Latin America, as it is functionally used with a racial connotation is any better than Hispanic for that matter. As an English speaker, I've never thought of myself as a Germanic American.

    True. I know several people from Spain and they call themselves Iberian. I also know that those in the south are Moor ancestry. However, several people I knew didn't realize Spaniards can be different shades, which is why I mentioned that. In fact years ago I met a relative of Picasso (he lives by me)and he is blonde hair/blue eyes.

    Gisele is of German descent, but she is Brazilian. She says: "She commented "I was born in Horizontina, a town in the back-country of (Brazilian) state Rio Grande do Sul. The town was once mainly colonized by Germans. In the school which I attended, learning German was actually obligatory from third grade on. But being out of touch with the language for such a long time, I unfortunately forgot it...] I belong to the sixth generation of my family in Brazil."

    Duh Re: "so if you're from (insert the name of anywhere in LatinAmerica), why are you whi

    Another cool name for this thread could've been:


    "For the last time, I am not from Eastern Europe!"




    If I had a penny for all the times someone had though I'm from that region (Russian, Ukrainian, etc), I'd be rich and had retired from dancing/camming a loooooooooong time ago (well, I had retired last summer).
    The worst part? People that are NATIVE to that region (Slavic dancers are very common all over the east coast) also think I'm from over there

    I hear it all the time. I am half italian and half guatemalan and i hear all the time, is that your natural hair color it's too dark? or shouldn't you be darker? Why can't you speak fluent italian/spanish? Why do you have an accent if you arent fluent? A girl at work even used the term "mut" against some of me and some of my regulars because they are from mexico. It's so annoying to be around people like that!

    That is not correct. Their claim actually is exactly opposite to what you just said.

    I have done business with a Cuban who is of Basque descent. According to him, they are the only group of Homo Sapiens who have no trace of Neanderthals in them.

    Man if it's in the club I don't care as long as they're giving me money. Really why do you care if guys think you're from eastern europe? Usually guys mean it as a compliment, go along with it. To be fair though, most of my family is from Denmark, and you don't look like you're from there. At all. Though I know you're talking about the ukraine and russia.

    No. They claim Neaderthal heritage. The oldest spoken language in Europe. Euskadi. They also claim Right to Northern Spain and Pyrenees region France. 4 + 3 = 1 Nation is the Motto. I lived in Madrid for three years.
