@Raw,

True, but that wouldn't make sense because the Spanish enslaved the Indians.

It sounds like that family photo was taken after the aftermath. The photograph was invented hundreds of years after the invasion.
Good point, but what i was saying was that the spaniard/native mix happened in a way more recent generation in my family (great-grandparents were spaniards residing in mexico) i guess... but im not ignorant to the situation i know a lot of mestizo's were the product of rapings.

True, you go to Spain now and you find a lot of Mestizos there.
It looks like some families went back to Spain and brought back extra luggage.
Lets not forget that it was Spanish Catholic missionaries that lead Mexico's revolution against Spain and France.


Also, now days you'll that there's a lot of Europeans who have moved to Latin America during the last century.
For instance, a lot of Nazi Germans found refuge in Argentina after WW2.

Yeah they're not Oriental, but Indigenous.
Meaning Indigenous people like those found in Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippine islands, etc.

I think the entire race topic is interesting.
I always ponder on which race came first, second and so on.
What are the only pure breeds of humans? So far I see that there's Caucasian, African, Oriental, and.... I can't go further. Arab people look like a Mix of African and Caucasian to me. So I don't think they are of pure breed. And the fact that they originated in between Caucasians and Africans says a lot, from a geographical stand point. Indian people from India, which are Persian, they could be a pure race, but I'm not sure. As for the no name race also known as "Indigenous", I'm almost convinced that they are a pure race too.

People will say, who cares? Why worry about races?
I say, shit! I wanna know my roots. I want to know how everything got started....

Caucasion cant be a pure breed, Its not a Race. Its a General Clasification.
Historicly Humans were founded somewhere North of Egypt. Going on Histries that cultures can trce back. oriental? I'm not sure on, i know that they were All under one rule in Ancient times and may have mixed.

Well lets see.

They all lived in the Same redion and Were under the Roman rule for Centuries, but are a pure race.
Caucasion is not a race.

Good point.
Well I'm reffering to the blond hair, blue/green eyed white folks.
They are pure.
As for the Italians, French, and Greeks, yeah they do look like they're mixed with something else.

Good points.

If Caucasian is not a race then what do you consider "RACE" and races?

Caucasion is a class.
Lets see do Irish, french, swedish, english, german, finnish, ...and so on fall under Caucasion? if so are they all the same race? Huh Guilitine?

To be a race you have to have a place of origination, did they come from Caucasia?

Why do they look so different? Hair Teeth Skin Body Styles??

Same race? Never can agree with that.
How do they look different? HOW? So what are your racial lines then?(I'm assuming at this point that you do beilive in the theory of "Race")
