#1 More proof that this idiotic fascination with race the left has is completely meaningless.

The left is so dedicated to it, once might think they are racists or something.

#2 No Nazi was ever more vigilantly conscious of race than the modern Left. Of course, Nazi stands for National *Socialist*, so...

#3 Hispania was the Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula. The Iberian Peninsula is part of Europe. Today that's Spain and Portugal.

If you really want to see race/caste separation just look at the purer Spanish blood lines versus mestizos and indian lines in our South American neighbors. It's "in" to be aligned with being euro (aka white) there. Why shouldn't they bring their multicultural biases and prejudices with them? This is one of those fundamental contradictions of the Left, like supporting unrestricted abortion then getting upset because people choose to abort far more female than male babies. In this case, uncontrolled immigration among a group in which people want to be 'white' rather then be separated for the Left's own racist agenda.

#4 Procopius2k, historically the ones sneaking across the border did not come from the European stock. Has that changed or are the ones crossing trying to sort of launder their background?

#5 I'll bet some of those "pure" Spanish bloodlines have Viking ancestors.

#6 Mexico /Central are racist in the truest sense of the word. My wife is an educated woman from the state of Nayarit in southern Mexico. She has beautiful bronze skin. Her own relatives refer to her as "la Negra" and consider her their lesser for it. I did my Ph.D work at Univ. of Chicago on Mexico under Pres. Cardenas 1934-1940). I know what I speak of. Just watch the Latino TV channels -most characters are white as the driven snow. To this very day, Many/most Mexican children are taught to marry up (i.e.someone with a whiter complexion.) All of this does not fit the Left's historical narrative so it is not discussed. (BTW: in the 1920's the Mexicans drove all the Chinese out of northern Mexico - ethnic cleansing using the modern term. Again, never mentioned.)

#7 Re Procopius: nothing has changed. Anecdote: in Tucson the Mexicans refer to their fairer skinned countrymen as 'White Mexicans'.

#8 #4 - the Census Bureau doesn't have a legal definition of race (yet). You volunteer your 'identity'. As posted here, many have been taught you 'upgrade' themselves by choosing white/euro.

#5 - Far more Goths than Vikings. The Basques were displaced by the Celt-Iberians who in turn where incorporated by the Romans for a couple hundred years. They in turn were overrun by the Gothic tribes who spent most of their time fighting among themselves. Then the Moors conquered the fragmented peninsula save the northern strip up around Santander and Bilbao where topography gave them the means to resist with the sword. There you'll find some genetic lines of 'Hispanic' blondes far deeper than anything the later Viking raids left.
