Here in Brazil we have five million of German-Brazilian people, including my wife. When we travel to the USA, she has to "explain herself", because of her blonde hair and green eyes.
The difference is they’re from Latin America she isn’t so how she Latina? It makes it worse when she has 1 parent (mom) that’s from Latin America and dad from America.
One time, I and several passengers were waiting to board into the plane from USA to Brazil. The gate lady would only pick someone blonde and ask her if she had a visa to Brazil. The blonde didn’t understand and turned to her husband asking (em português) what was the gate keeper asking her. I myself am Chinese Brazilian, she darn didn’t even ask me.😅 She was only scanning for blondes.
What a wonderful interview. From a geo-political viewpoint, Ana is doing more to increase and appreciate Mexican-American relations than any stuffy diplomat could ever hope to do. She's the genuine article.
I love her videos! 😂❤ I’m mexican, never been to the US, but It’s interesting to see that part of diversity. Her and other “no sabo kids” context… Saludos desde México 🇲🇽 😊
A lot of people saying that she's not unique because there are redheads in Mexico(she's a natural blonde), you're right, it's just that not everyone knows there are Mexican people of every skin color, hair color, eye color and shape. Not.Everyone.Knows.This. So, not only does she help respresent the light-skinned Mexicans(Mexican-Americans, Latinos, etc.) that people here in the US doesn't typically see or know about, she also represents 2nd/3rd generation kids trying to learn, relearn, and understand their parent's native language. The feeling of not being accepted because you're either not enough of one thing or too much of the other to fit into either group. I can relate. I'm Mexican-American and I've felt that struggle. And now my daughter, who's half Mexican half white (and looks white) keeps getting "you don't look Mexican" from kids who are black, white, and EVEN hispanic kids. These are 16-18 year old kids. These kids have never been to Mexico and seen people with their same skin color speaking Spanish like it's nothing. So I'd say it's pretty important that she's getting a lot of attention.
The heritage of Hispanic people (from the US all the way to southern Chile and Argentina) includes not only roots in Spain, but in many other European countries as well, plus the native people of each country, African roots from the slaves brought into the New World, and other more recent immigrants. That's why Hispanic people, who, again, include people from the USA, Mexico, all the way to southern Argentina and Chile, can be of all different shades. Most people are mixed, but their mix can be mostly European, or more on the native side. Some people have more African ancestry. Some people, like this young woman probably, are mostly of European descent.
The question is: why Americans care so much people’s heritage? when in Latin America You find blue eyed blondes from Mexico all the way to Argentina, same with every ethnicity in the world, literally the most genetically diverse region in the world is Latin America not the US. is so stupid how people want to get famous over pretending to be from a country their ancestors came from. I’m Mexican born and raised, part of my family were from France, Spain and Ireland. But guess what? NOBODY cares, and I’m not going to pretend I’m from those places just to make content about “my heritage” specially when France, Spain and Ireland do not claim me as one of them.
@@19ars92Exactly! Everytime I see chicano videos or posts on this subject they seem to think that we’re all brown, and now with the most recent elections they keep calling our president a “fake Mexican” for being of Jewish heritage when Jews have been in Mexico since it’s independence and kept migrating here to this day. When you’re in Mexico no one goes deep into this subject because we know our identity is cultural but American raised kids for some reason are so… uneducated.
@@19ars92 yes it seems to be a US phenomenon to label and hyphenate everyone. I think it stems from how poorly the US treated its immigrants when they first arrived back in the 1880s. Lots of bigotry and prejudice against Italians, Jews, Irish, Chinese and Latinos. Many overcame the obstacles their grandparents had to go through in a predominate Protestant US. So nowadays they honor their heritage by hyphenating. There are many who don’t, and just say I’m American period.
No sabo fits all three of my kids. Their mom is Cuban, not Mexican, but it all fits. I love watching Ana's videos and I know my oldest daughter does too. My wife was born in Cuba and spoke no English until her family came to the US as legal refugees when she was 10. I met her when she was 19 and swore she was a native American English speaker. She had zero accent on her English and her English vocabulary was extensive. Her English reading and writing skills were every bit as good as her verbal skills. The funny part was her mom always yelled at her for speaking Spanish with an American accent. My wife said she hated the way a Spanish accent sounded on English and she was determined to lose it and did before she graduated from HS. Of course she is much older now, but many Americans are still floored about her English skills. Her Spanish is still very good and she really doesn't have much, if any, American accent on her Spanish. I knew her mom was always pulling her leg.
My 3 kids same I'm cuban American I arrive from Cuba on 2002 to the USA Tampa and as a kid 13 years old I have to go to school and all that 😂😂😂 growing as a man ready for fight daily life got married and 3 kids the mother of my first son the oldest one she is american white and all the time i have to ask her whatnin hell she said to me 😂😂😂 because my English was kind not good enough.....so many years later yeap i.learn like learn im 38 know 😂😂😂 but still having my crazy cuba side 😂😂😂..but none of my 3 kida speak Spanish they do understand and maybe some words...but my daughter yea she 😂😂😂 she speak Spanish sone times she confuse some words and thing like that but yea lufe is crazy at the end is about communication 😂😂
My grandparents spoke between two and six languages each. My parents speak/spoke two/three. I speak three, and a bit in a lot more, but my older siblings speak one, barely two. I grew up with more of it than they did. My parents didn't learn as much of the old country as their parents tried to assimilate by soaking only English in the home.

There are redheads in Mexico, speacially in in the area of the towns that go from El Salvador that belongs to Tequila in Jalisco, all the way to Milpillas and Huitzila, which belong to El Teúl in Zacatecas.
Americans in general believe that in Mexico there are only people with brown skin and dark hair but in reality there is everything, the majority being mestizos, that is because the vast majority who emigrate to the USA are the lower social classes who are usually mestizos. or of indigenous roots who go in search of better opportunities, people with white skin are from the bourgeois class and do not go to the USA as much because they do not have the need to do so.

My father (Brazilian) was kind of a ginger with green eyes. He probably had an ancestry from northern Portugal, where there are more people of Celtic / Germanic heritage.
I love how funny and humble is this young lady. I am Puertorrican and it is nice to see people being proud of their roots. We are all Latino and that is awesome!
Let's not forget the "small" detail that further south of Mexico (as incredible as it may seem to you) in fact there is almost a continent and a half further south (rest of Central America and South America) and there are many more Latin people there and with white skin and some with blue or green eyes, and I know that maybe it will come as a shock to you: they live there!!! (by the way: I'm being sarcastic) 😏
Hispanics are every color of the rainbow. I'm colombian. My brother is a true ginger borned in Colombia. I have uncles who are blond and others with dark skin. Not black but I do have cousins married to black partners and we are all Colombian. We are beautiful in every shade and we love our idioma español =spanish language. ❤ Ps. Im a fan, love your page. Ana!
Argentinos and Chilenos have a lot of white, blonde colored eyes people. They have German and Italian roots. Obviously the Spanish who went to Mexico stayed there and mixed too.
In a mexican family theres always different tones of color, im drk brown and my younger sister looks white, and now i got many family members mixing with white americans, culture on the states are becoming diverse as well
Just because a lot of people here in the States ignore that there are cities in Mexico where most of the people have white skin and either blue or green eyes and they are tall, viva México🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I relate with her. We started in Spanish and when school rolled around, they kept trying to hold us back either testing our English. We spoke both fluently. Mom eventually made the decision to ban us from talking in Spanish publicly in favor of our education. We all learned Spanish later and speak it very differently.
In the United States, strangely, they are very curious (it even seems like it bothers them) that people from Latin America do not fit into their racial stereotype of dark-skinned people. And in the conversation they even try to insist to the girl about what her customs should be. In short, it is American segregationist culture in action. Americans, stop this bad habit of dividing people by colors, customs or ethnicities, enough.
Not just white Americans. My daughter, who is white but half Mexican, was called a want-to-be by a stereotypical dark-skinned chicana. But she's as latina as that person. Watch TV in a Spanish country and most of the actors are White.
@@clasicradiolover Latinos are not a color They’re a PROFILE in the US. But In Latin America it’s a FORMATION. if you’re black or white in Latin America you are latino. If you’re black or white raised in the US you’re an American, but Americans only call Americans people of Northern European descent.
@@clasicradiolover She will be “white” American Because she is going to grow IN an American education system NOT Latin America. You are from 1. you are born 2. You are grown 3. You identify with You can claim to have any ethnicity you want but the people that actually live in that culture do not claim you back. Doesn’t matter if you’re, Irish, Mexican Chinese Italian or German American, people from the country of your ancestors do not recognize you as their ne of them because you were raised into the American system and you are loyal to the USA not your ancestors country of origin.
Can anyone tell that after Spaniards and Portuguese, the largest group of European immigrants to South America since 19th century to the present are Italians and Germans. Although you may think they all went to Argentina and Brazil, that is 100% incorrect, they are everywhere.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are wonderful and talented! Growing up in Michigan and visiting with mi Tía (only 7 years older) has brought me similar experiences!😂
During the Mexican-American War, in 1848, the Irish deserted the Americans and fought with the Mexicans. Hence Mexicans have some Irish blood with red hair.
Some Mexicans have that heritage, but there's been all sorts of immigration to Mexico, from lots of different places and in lots of different periods -- Mexicans can look like anybody. Mexico City, for example, is a very cosmopolitan place, there are Chilangos of Lebanese, Italian, Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jewish ,Chinese, Korean, Ukrainian, German, Haitian, Africanand Polish heritage. The president elect of Mexico is a granddaughter of Jewish immigrants from Lithuania and Bulgaria.
As if there weren't redheads in Spain itself! So tired of these myths. The easiest explanation is that most Mexican redheads got their gene from Spaniards.
I still remember the day I was described as "very white passing" but not white by Americans. I'm from Spain and according to my ancestry test 100% European.
My kids first language was Spanish in here the states at home and in Puerto Rico was vice versa English at home Spanish at home they are both very bilingual read written and spoken
I had a english grandmother who born raised in in Mexico city during Poncho Via era she had very Red hair and freckles too . her knowing mexican / and english. was used as interpreter as times . she once told us a story how a few mexican ladies were talking bad about her .She turned around and cuss them out in spanish for talking bad about her You remind me of her she setttle San Pedro California back 1940
Knowing more than one language is really invaluable. Especially when it's a part of your culture and heritage. You can connect with more people better and it's just more fun.
My mother was a French and English speaker in her childhood, but my intolerant father wouldn't allow French in the home-to our loss. Now i would like to learn Spanish because of tThe Warning!
I hope she speaks more Spanish. I have a cousin who never wanted to speak Spanish but because of his religion he had to do his service in Argentina and after 2 years he learned well, he recognized how important it is to speak Spanish, read it or write it.:)
#1 let me say i LOVE Ana , i am also half white haft mexican , growing up in the 70's my mother (mexican side) would not allow us kids to speak spanish outside the house , and she was right , got into many fights when people would hear me and my brother talk in spanish , in the 70's that was looked down on... but today i dont care like ana i understand more then i can speak happy to say i'm learning to speak it more and more ,
@@Jonathan-sm5oqwell that’s the problem. People use the term Mexican deceptively. For example, this white girl in the video claims she’s Mexican. Most people using the term Mexican SPECIFICALLY mean ethnicity - as in mestizo. No one uses the term Mexican to describe nationality. She may be Mexican as a nationality, but that means nothing. It just means you or your parents happened to be born in Mexico. That doesn’t make you ethnically Mexican as in mestizo.
The term "latino" pertains to the "language" a person speaks, being this language a descendant of latin. So, you see, it does not have anything to do with ethnicity. Just the language you speak, and that is part of a culture. But that is as far as it goes. In heavily ethnic countries like Brazil and Venezuela you will see a really wide spectrum of people speaking the same language. So that's my 2-cents worth.
I'm sure she explains it but she's not naturally red-headed like canelo or select mexican born people. She is definitely born from parents that are fair skinned though that is mistaken as the typical goofball girl like in the american pie movies.
Soy de Mexico originalmente, Oaxaca to be exact, but when I was a year old, my parents and I were brought to California and we've been here ever since. It always pisses me off when people rely on stereotypes and whatnot, I ain't Caucasian, im tall, lighter skin, but black hair and borwn eyes. Nosotros los Mexicanos venimos en diferentes colores y formas 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
You aren't Caucasian? Millions of Mexicans are. I've met Caucasian Mexicans and I'm afraid you might think Latino and Caucasian are mutually exclusive when they aren't.
Actually the red hair like Ana and Canelo Alvarez have the Irish blood line of the tens of thousands of Catholic Irish men who were Mexican soldiers who fought against the USA . This Irishmen soldiers mixed with Mexican women, which now you see their blood lines today.
I am her follower and this chilly video was a first video I saw. She is like a Disney princess or a comedian. I learn a lot about Mexicans and their temperament. And learning Spanish along the way. And I am not connected with any of the cultures she is connected.
It's just the U.S. who stereotypes Mexicans. My brother, father, aunts, grandmother were all mistaken for Whites. I even had to defend my little brother in junior high, because Blacks tried to bully him because he looked White. At 5'5", it was tough for me, fighting 6' Black and Whites. (But always came up on top (I had to)) In my family they're common and knew many other friends who looked Anglo. Stereotypical U.S. (ignorant)
at 2:08 wrong, it's her mother tongue ,as well as her language, too at 3:02 when she was born her mom spoke to her in Spanish because her mother was struggling to speak english smh It's important to recognize that many Latinos born in the US continue to speak Spanish at home while using English outside. therefore Spanish is their mother tongue, Speaking Spanish is a source of pride for most, if not all, Latinos. y'all should understand the difference, I have being part of this topics before and many have claim english is their first language but when I asked how many people of their family speak english, they answered 1 or 2 so how do you communicate with them they answered we talked in spanish because since I was a kid I've been traveling outside the US and when we are at a family reunion we only speak spanish, then my next question what was the first thing you remember from your parents when you was a kid? they all answered they parents only spoke in spanish, therefore they understood their first language was indeed spanish and english second. It has been conclusively demonstrated on numerous occasions. It is often said that the Spanish language is more elegant than English, which is true.
I’m so over people being surprise when they see white people who are “Latinas” . My mother is also a red-haired Latina and me her daughter look as Spanish as Penelope Cruz. People forgot that Mediterranean Europeans such as Spaniards or Italians have dark hair and brown eyes. Having brown hair and brown eyes does not make us indigenous people. Awesome for those who are Indigenous, just not the same ethnicity as Spaniards.
I served in the US military with Mexican immigrants who looked more stereotypically Irish than what most Americans would expect. That's when I learned that whole segments of the Mexican population are very pale skinned with red or blonde hair and green or blue eyes.
In Puerto Rico is common to see redheads. I am a pale brunette guy, but personally I not even consider myself white or caucasian. I'm just feel latino, I'm very proud of that. That's about it!
Funny how the color of your skin is so important in the US.....here in Mexico is so common to have mixed families.... i.e. my older sister is brunette with green eyes, the next one is natural red hair, the little one brunette with deep black eyes, my brother and I are brown skin..... and we don't care...we all are brothers and dont feel different nor we amussed to see a mexican of white skin or dark skin...we just dont care! That is why we can have nicknames related to our characteristics but no one feels offended.... my brother was "el negro"... my redhair sis was "la zanahoria (carrot)" and my older sis was "chicharos (peas)" due to her eyes....I am the " el enano (dwarf)" due to I am the younger one therefore the shorter as a kid... even when I am now the tallest I am still "the enano" 😂😂.
This girl didn't really seem to understand what the interviewer was getting at lol. It seems like she didn't understand the point of the interviewers questions lol. Lol. I guess she's young. She seemed very unprepared for this interview as well.
It just in the u.s on the false stereotype on what her look is becuz in Mexico it not surprising that she looks white because there are many Mexicans in Mexico that look like her 🇲🇽
well, there's only a few places where i could say the European phenotype is still strong, and that includes Mexico City and nearby regions. but the more you get outside of that, the more mixed everything becomes, including the border regions with the USA.

Americans in general believe that in Mexico there are only people with brown skin and dark hair but in reality there is everything, the majority being mestizos, that is because the vast majority who emigrate to the USA are the lower social classes who are usually mestizos. or of indigenous roots who go in search of better opportunities, people with white skin are from the bourgeois class and do not go to the USA as much because they do not have the need to do so.
Yep, Mexico has its own "Apartheid system".
Only people native to mexico are ethnic mexicans
Gringos find out that latinos come in different packages.
They still negate it especially Hollyweird😂😮🎉!

My father (Brazilian) was kind of a ginger with green eyes. He probably had an ancestry from northern Portugal, where there are more people of Celtic / Germanic heritage.
The gene for red hair did not originate in northern Europe and it's present even in southern Portugal. Maybe he's simply Portuguese.
I love how funny and humble is this young lady. I am Puertorrican and it is nice to see people being proud of their roots. We are all Latino and that is awesome!
Let's not forget the "small" detail that further south of Mexico (as incredible as it may seem to you) in fact there is almost a continent and a half further south (rest of Central America and South America) and there are many more Latin people there and with white skin and some with blue or green eyes, and I know that maybe it will come as a shock to you: they live there!!! (by the way: I'm being sarcastic) 😏
My Polish family never taught me the language, and i wish they had! Rocket science would be easier to learn than polish language as an adult!
Slavic languages like Polish are extremely hard to learn if you grew up speaking English.
Hispanics are every color of the rainbow. I'm colombian. My brother is a true ginger borned in Colombia. I have uncles who are blond and others with dark skin. Not black but I do have cousins married to black partners and we are all Colombian. We are beautiful in every shade and we love our idioma español =spanish language. ❤
Ps. Im a fan, love your page. Ana!
Argentinos and Chilenos have a lot of white, blonde colored eyes people. They have German and Italian roots. Obviously the Spanish who went to Mexico stayed there and mixed too.
In a mexican family theres always different tones of color, im drk brown and my younger sister looks white, and now i got many family members mixing with white americans, culture on the states are becoming diverse as well
Mexican family is like saying Canadian family, it says nothing about your race.
Just because a lot of people here in the States ignore that there are cities in Mexico where most of the people have white skin and either blue or green eyes and they are tall, viva México🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

I relate with her. We started in Spanish and when school rolled around, they kept trying to hold us back either testing our English. We spoke both fluently. Mom eventually made the decision to ban us from talking in Spanish publicly in favor of our education. We all learned Spanish later and speak it very differently.
In the United States, strangely, they are very curious (it even seems like it bothers them) that people from Latin America do not fit into their racial stereotype of dark-skinned people. And in the conversation they even try to insist to the girl about what her customs should be. In short, it is American segregationist culture in action.
Americans, stop this bad habit of dividing people by colors, customs or ethnicities, enough.
Not just white Americans. My daughter, who is white but half Mexican, was called a want-to-be by a stereotypical dark-skinned chicana. But she's as latina as that person. Watch TV in a Spanish country and most of the actors are White.

Latinos are not a color
They’re a PROFILE in the US.
But
In Latin America it’s a FORMATION.
if you’re black or white in Latin America you are latino.
If you’re black or white raised in the US you’re an American, but Americans only call Americans people of Northern European descent.
@19ars92 Not true. Others say this not just whites. As I said, the stereotypical hispanic was prejudice against my daughter who is a white latina.

Can anyone tell that after Spaniards and Portuguese, the largest group of European immigrants to South America since 19th century to the present are Italians and Germans. Although you may think they all went to Argentina and Brazil, that is 100% incorrect, they are everywhere.
I watch this girl on UA-cam shorts, and she's amazingly talented. She's so much fun.
Her mom also forgets some Spanish words, occasionally.
Because she isn’t really Mexican. Her parents are European.

Actually, her father sold the company many years ago.
During the Mexican-American War, in 1848, the Irish deserted the Americans and fought with the Mexicans. Hence Mexicans have some Irish blood with red hair.
Canelo de boxer is one of them. And there are a lot more like him.
Some Mexicans have that heritage, but there's been all sorts of immigration to Mexico, from lots of different places and in lots of different periods -- Mexicans can look like anybody.
Mexico City, for example, is a very cosmopolitan place, there are Chilangos of Lebanese, Italian, Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jewish ,Chinese, Korean, Ukrainian, German, Haitian, Africanand Polish heritage.
The president elect of Mexico is a granddaughter of Jewish immigrants from Lithuania and Bulgaria.
As if there weren't redheads in Spain itself! So tired of these myths. The easiest explanation is that most Mexican redheads got their gene from Spaniards.
@Luritsas . Northern Spain. There's a region there called Galicia which means Gaelic.
@@rockyracoon3233 so?

Not so regular, most Mexicans are still more mixed than this, even in the north

#1 let me say i LOVE Ana , i am also half white haft mexican , growing up in the 70's my mother (mexican side) would not allow us kids to speak spanish outside the house , and she was right , got into many fights when people would hear me and my brother talk in spanish , in the 70's that was looked down on... but today i dont care like ana i understand more then i can speak happy to say i'm learning to speak it more and more ,
You cannot be half mexican remember mexican is not a race
@@Jonathan-sm5oqwell that’s the problem. People use the term Mexican deceptively. For example, this white girl in the video claims she’s Mexican. Most people using the term Mexican SPECIFICALLY mean ethnicity - as in mestizo. No one uses the term Mexican to describe nationality.
She may be Mexican as a nationality, but that means nothing. It just means you or your parents happened to be born in Mexico. That doesn’t make you ethnically Mexican as in mestizo.
Im try now for be B1 in English but i can't My mind 😮
@@cococock2418then say mestizo, don't say Mexican. And that doesn't happen anywhere else in the world other than in the USA.
Oh I'm half white half Canadian... Wait what?
The term "latino" pertains to the "language" a person speaks, being this language a descendant of latin. So, you see, it does not have anything to do with ethnicity. Just the language you speak, and that is part of a culture. But that is as far as it goes. In heavily ethnic countries like Brazil and Venezuela you will see a really wide spectrum of people speaking the same language. So that's my 2-cents worth.

I'm sure she explains it but she's not naturally red-headed like canelo or select mexican born people. She is definitely born from parents that are fair skinned though that is mistaken as the typical goofball girl like in the american pie movies.

Actually the red hair like Ana and Canelo Alvarez have the Irish blood line of the tens of thousands of Catholic Irish men who were Mexican soldiers who fought against the USA . This Irishmen soldiers mixed with Mexican women, which now you see their blood lines today.
Oh, the plight of the white Mexican. Such struggles.
Im a white mexican and i always get the" you dont look like a mexican " , here in the usa .
Ana should be a guest on López VS López, 3 mil is a nice pool.
I am her follower and this chilly video was a first video I saw. She is like a Disney princess or a comedian. I learn a lot about Mexicans and their temperament. And learning Spanish along the way. And I am not connected with any of the cultures she is connected.
It's just the U.S. who stereotypes Mexicans. My brother, father, aunts, grandmother were all mistaken for Whites. I even had to defend my little brother in junior high, because Blacks tried to bully him because he looked White. At 5'5", it was tough for me, fighting 6' Black and Whites. (But always came up on top (I had to)) In my family they're common and knew many other friends who looked Anglo. Stereotypical U.S. (ignorant)
at 2:08 wrong, it's her mother tongue ,as well as her language, too at 3:02 when she was born her mom spoke to her in Spanish because her mother was struggling to speak english smh
It's important to recognize that many Latinos born in the US continue to speak Spanish at home while using English outside. therefore Spanish is their mother tongue, Speaking Spanish is a source of pride for most, if not all, Latinos. y'all should understand the difference, I have being part of this topics before and many have claim english is their first language but when I asked how many people of their family speak english, they answered 1 or 2 so how do you communicate with them they answered we talked in spanish because since I was a kid I've been traveling outside the US and when we are at a family reunion we only speak spanish, then my next question what was the first thing you remember from your parents when you was a kid? they all answered they parents only spoke in spanish, therefore they understood their first language was indeed spanish and english second. It has been conclusively demonstrated on numerous occasions.
It is often said that the Spanish language is more elegant than English, which is true.
I’m so over people being surprise when they see white people who are “Latinas” . My mother is also a red-haired Latina and me her daughter look as Spanish as Penelope Cruz. People forgot that Mediterranean Europeans such as Spaniards or Italians have dark hair and brown eyes. Having brown hair and brown eyes does not make us indigenous people. Awesome for those who are Indigenous, just not the same ethnicity as Spaniards.

I served in the US military with Mexican immigrants who looked more stereotypically Irish than what most Americans would expect. That's when I learned that whole segments of the Mexican population are very pale skinned with red or blonde hair and green or blue eyes.
You can call them white people.
Wow. We have all the entities the US has. Maybe even more! We come in many shades. We here in the US think we're special. We're not. lol
In Puerto Rico is common to see redheads. I am a pale brunette guy, but personally I not even consider myself white or caucasian. I'm just feel latino, I'm very proud of that. That's about it!

Funny how the color of your skin is so important in the US.....here in Mexico is so common to have mixed families.... i.e. my older sister is brunette with green eyes, the next one is natural red hair, the little one brunette with deep black eyes, my brother and I are brown skin..... and we don't care...we all are brothers and dont feel different nor we amussed to see a mexican of white skin or dark skin...we just dont care! That is why we can have nicknames related to our characteristics but no one feels offended.... my brother was "el negro"... my redhair sis was "la zanahoria (carrot)" and my older sis was "chicharos (peas)" due to her eyes....I am the " el enano (dwarf)" due to I am the younger one therefore the shorter as a kid... even when I am now the tallest I am still "the enano" 😂😂.
