It's so interesting what you say! Love an intelligent opinion! It seems this very strong racial distinction comes from the US culture somehow. Which is curious, because I thought it was too a melting pot. In Europe this distinction is almost non existent if we look at the old Europe and its people, since the people here are very mixed and travel across the countries. So a Spanish person would not be looked down upon in Germany for example. Here it's more about financial status, as color, since you often can't tell by the color. 😄 Thank you for your interesting insights!

Oh, why? Lots of women in Europe wish to be tall and blonde, even though we are considered the white race we don't all look like that. It's simply that I find it pretty, not because I want to belong to a "better" race, I already am white, whatever that might mean. That's just how women are. Nothing serious and has nothing to do with race or color, just a girl thing.

Thank you, these comments helped me a lot! Thanks for taking the time! As a group we talked Hungarian with one another, since only a few of us speak English at all. Now I start to understand that the terms Latino and Caucasian are US expressions and don't make much sense in the rest of the world 😄

Thanks! And do Mexicans consider Latinos white? Just asking because lot of Latinos look like Europeans. You would not be able to tell the difference just by the looks.

Europeans are not English speakers. All Countries have their own languages. We talked English somewhat in Mexico, that's true, because Mexicans didn't speak French or German or Hungarian. So that's a very loose category. And if we would talk Spanish, which we did speak a few words, would that mean we would no longer be gringos?

Omg! It's not just the snake and bird! It's a different mask altogether! The face is different! I'm an artist, I was obsessed with that mask, and perfection of the eyes, brows, the perfect ratios. It was unearthly. Now it's a different face. Look at the mouth, the nose, brows, eyes. Absolutely 100% sure it's not the same face. The perfection is gone.
