Ever been to Spain?
America has this strange preoccupation with race. I actually find it offensive that the government has "race" boxes on forms.
White (nonhispanic)
Black (nonhispanic)
Hispanic
etc etc
The Singaporeans had some also. They had ID cards with your race printed on it.
Chinese
Malay
Indian
Caucasian

Spainish are European. "White". Most Mexicans are Mestizo. Of European/Indian descent. Many others from say Dominica or Brazil are Mullatto. Mullattos could have a white dad and a black mum, yet they'd be "coloured"
The whole thing sickens me. Judging people by how they look reeks of apartheid.
