re: #168 boxhead

Asking my Mexican friends what it means to be Mexican has returned answers like, only the Aztecs, any indigenous peoples, or any indigenous peoples mixed with Euros. And by indigenous peoples, only those within the Mexican borders.

One of my kids told me that her ancestry is “African, Cherokee, Scottish, Irish, English, French and Spanish”. I said, “So basically, “America: The First Three Hundred Years”?”

We agreed that her next move should be to marry a guy who was Mexican and Vietnamese, just to keep the blend going.
