\_ Maybe the guy with the "indigenous people" sign should have
checked with all those Indians first. -John
\_ Er, Mexicans are just as indigenous as the Indians here.
(There are Spanish immigrants in Mexico too, but it's not
like here where the immigrants pretty much replaced the
local population. It's easy to tell the difference: Spanish
people are tall, white, and European-looking. Mexicans are
shorter, darker, and not.)
\_ They're not all white and Euro-looking. Lots of swarthier
ones from their time with the Moors.
\_ That's funny, the last time I was in the middle of the
Yucatan, the people there didn't look much like any of my
Mexican friends from college/HS, or the Mexican guys
from DF I work with now. Maybe they changed them or
something. -John
\_ Spanish descent. Gringo v. Indio. Round MMCCXVII. FIGHT!
\_ I'm sure the Mexicans you know would say that. The Indians
would have something entirely different to say. If the
Mexicans are indigenous then so are all the white people
in the US.
\_ I don't know man, the Spanish seems to have breeded
extensively with the Indians under their rule. Whereas,
in north america, Indians were mostly just sent to
reservations. While Mexicans don't look the same as
Indians, they look different from whites too. They
are mixed.
\_ The CIA World Factbook agrees: they list Mexico as
"mestizo (Amerindian-Spanish) 60%, Amerindian or
predominantly Amerindian 30%, white 9%, other 1%".
You're right, though, I shouldn't have said they
were "just as indigenous as the Indians".
\_ I don't know, isn't a mexican claiming to be indigenous to
California by virtue of being indigenous to Mexico kinda like
a Chinese guy claiming to be indigenous to France?
\_ Is an idiot still an idiot if they can't recognize
their idiocy?
\_ Are you stupid or just stupid?
\_ At least they finally figured out that they should be waving US
flags, no Mexican flags.
\_ Must've run out of Mexican flags. Next shipment arrives next
week from HK. |
