Just because a large majority do doesn't mean that she does.

For all you know, being labeled "Mexican" could mean that you're a white African that moved to Mexico.

But "Hispanic" can also mean 100% white.

A lot of "Hispanic" people today would refer to a blonde haired blue eyed person from Spain as being white. Yet that white Spanish influence is what made others "Hispanic" in the first place.

Its true. Which is why I think multi-racial marriages should be encouraged.

Think about it, all of the different "races" of human beings share different traits that make them different. They evolved more to their surroundings. Its a pretty common thought for people to think about this, and then one day all races being intertwined. If everyone continued to marry interracially, there would some day only be one race. Imagine that.

This is going to happen sooner then people think, or at least in America. We just need to get culturally naive countries like asian countries and others to realize this. It amazes me that Japanese people can only look at other Japanese people all day long and be satisfied with that. Never to have a latin honey melt you with her sexy latin accent, must be miserable to live in such countries.

This is BS. There will always be lighter and darker. Even African Americans tend to segregate based on shades. At least in my experience.

You know, are you really just a creep or really trying hard to be one?

How am I a creep? I stated my experience. Are you saying I'm wrong? I always thought it odd how "mocha" African Americans made fun of and kept themselves away from "blue-black" African Americans.


Same thing with Mexicans even though for the most part I can't see how they tell the difference. I even had a Mexican girl trying to explain it to me.

It's definitely true. Of course, nothing is absolute, but studies have shown that all people (even babies who have not been socialized) prefer/find more attractive people with symmetric characteristics. If you have a bi-racial child, that child (male or female) is going to be a approximate blend of both parents. Because of this blending, racial characteristics are softened and the child is traditionally more "symmetric" and therefore, more attractive.

Are there exceptions? Sure, but it is an observable phenomena. Especially if you have first hand experience.

What's a pure race :confused:

Mongoloid, Caucasoid, Negroid

AFAIK, those are obsolete, archaic classification that current geneticists and anthropologist don't use anymore.

The great geneticist Cavalli-Sforza, stated that if we were to travel from one end of Eurasia to the opposite end, we'll see how people's features only very gradually change from one region to another -- i.e. Spanish and Southern French people look similar, and Danish looks similar to Swedish, but most Spanish looks quite different from most Swedes, and if you compare people from even greater geographical distances, i.e. the Tungus (southeastern Siberia) to Spanish, obviously, they'll look even more different.

People probably instinctively associate another person's symmetrical characteristics with his/her genetic fitness

Danish, Swedish, Spanish, French = Caucasoid
Evenks (Tungus) = Mongoloid

Of course each could broken down into subgroups but they have a general feature set that puts them into one of the three recognized races.

I think what he's saying is that "races" don't really exist, it's just a gradual blend from one area to another, with the people's characteristics also blending gradually. If you look at a lot of Russians, they look partly mongoloid. They don't jump from being purely causasion to purely Asian, they gradually blend depending on their area.

There are a few examples in the "Sexy bitch" thread too :p
That list is a bit misleading.
It lists people as being stuff like "white/mexican". Since when is Mexican a race? I went down to Mexico and there were Mexicans obviously of European descent that were 100% caucasian. That's like saying someone is 1/2 American, 1/2 Canadian. It also lists people as being "Japanese/Taiwanese". They are so close to begin with, they're still 100% Asian.
Mexican is a race, they damn sure arent Spanish. They dont speak spanish either, they speak mexican. If you spend a little time in spain and a little time in mexico you'll see it. Subtle but different.
Same with American and British and Irish and Scottish. I've spent plenty of time in each country and I can honestly say we all dont speak the same language.
I dont like the whole 'Asian' thing because you can be white, brown, yellow or red and still be asian. But some folks get upset if you say oriental. They get ticked and say "I am not a rug!!".
Same with Africa. Most ethnically diverse continent in the world.

But getting back to the OP, I think that Black/Latin DNA mixes really well with some girls.
I have seen many mixed ladies in San Diego that were gangbusters.

Lets start Experimenting:

Jamacian with an Italian = Pastafarians

Indian with a Jew = Hinjews

Philipinnes & Holland = Hollipinos

Cuba with Iceland = Icecubes

French with Greek = Freeks

German with a Newfie = Gewfies
