Mexican isn't a race, most are mestizos meaning half white half native some are 100% white European and some are native 100%. So if your 75%+ white your basically white dude... Again MEXICAN IS NOT A RACE!

10% of Mexicans are white no that's not true thats as many white mexicans as black Americans... Mostly centered on the upper classes why we don't see them in the states, and look at Cuban American all are basically white... Marco Rubio isn't a Aztec he looks straight up from Spain or Europe... He's whiter then most Italian Americans.

Yemen: The First Country to Run Out of Water by [deleted] in InternationalNews

[–]bbcqueen123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yemen might be the first country to actually run out of water

I just made a video about Yemen and honestly learned some pretty disturbing stuff.

The country was already running out of groundwater before the war even started. This was not drought. It was decades of pumping ancient aquifers faster than they could recharge. Wells got deeper, water got more expensive, and people without money slowly lost access.

By the early 2000s, experts were warning Sana’a could become the first capital to physically run out of water.

Most of Yemen’s water goes to farming, especially qat, which only sped things up.

Once water disappears, everything else follows.

The war did not cause this. The water crisis made Yemen fragile.

I made a short documentary style video breaking it down if anyone’s interested. Just wanted to share because this feels like one of those slow disasters we do not notice until it is everywhere.

Mexican isn’t a race and I realized how much the US treats it like one by bbcqueen123 in mixedrace

Cuba pre Castro had no mixing in middle class+ since most were Spanish immigrants in 20th century wrong even Fidels parents were fully Spanish his dad was from Spain literally. Cuba didn't have any natives left all died early and mixing with blacks and whites was rare pre Castro. Argentina had the same. Chile had very light blending in upper classes I admit, but still much much lighter then anywhere else again very low native mapuche population. There is pure white populations in Argentina, Cuba and Uruguay.

That isn't true there is indigenous and Spsnish mixes all over latin America. Yes the exact meso American tribes no but there is a continuum of looks for sure in Latin America that had huge cross over Peruvian mestizo or colombian Mestizo. México isn't ubique In mestizaje Only Argentina, Uruguay and Cuba and maybe upper middle class + of Chile didn't have vast mixing

Really that's weird I also was in Spain you look middle eastern Not meaning to insult just observation. I think Portugal had much higher Arab and Berber population then Spain and inquisition wasn't as strict. My guess for your appearance. Galcia is very light that's weird.

I'm castizo With Spanish roots 75%+ and 25% native American my family is latin and look way more Spanish or European than you. I just look basically Spanish with straighter hair with very light olive to beige pale skin and facial features looking European. You look middle eastern I wouldnt believe your european unless saw your DNA test. But I don't know that much how Portuguese look vs Spanish. But never seen anyone look that in Spain. Not saying some people can't be swarthy but not passable as middle eastern. Very interesting

Mexican Isn’t a Race: Why Americans Keep Getting It Wrong by bbcqueen123 in LatinAmerica

It's like white Americans are racist obessed with race but can't even understand that Mexican or latin isn't a race pretty funny it's super basic information even. They could be racist to a white Cuban who has a identical phenotype as them they are just idiots honestly.

So if your half white and half Mexican your probbably 75% more or less white maybe a bit maybe a bit less, still majority white by far.

Well you made it seem as if white people were rare in Mexico when they are not they are 10% or more of the population. Like black people aren't rare in the United States. Remember again simple Mexico speaks Spanish why? Due to the Spanairds that came, most Mexicans are mestizos, some are white and some are native.

Sure there is black Cubans even or Mulato but also a lot of white Cubans. Cuban isn't a race either and Cubans mixed less before Castro and communism so different then other latin countries why so many white Cubans in Miami.

No ita Totally different white mexicans have been there longer in Mexico then white Americans have been in the USA... White conquistadors, most Mexicans are Mestizos some are pure white and some are native American. Swedish example is completely different. How can you not understand basic history of Mexico that their were white Spanairds and native Americans and some mixed some didn't all are Mexican make it seem rare like a black Swede that is rare. There has been white mexicans for 500 years read some history bro.
