Phil1111 1,149 #4 January 21, 2019 While I don't discount the humor of this piece. It plays upon a certain lack of accuracy with regards to heritage, DNA and race. Mexicans of European descent or European Mexicans, are Mexican citizens of complete or predominant European descent.[8] While the Mexican government does conduct ethnic censuses on which a Mexican has the option of identifying as “White”[9] the results obtained from these censuses are not published. What Mexico's government publish instead, is the percentage of “light-skinned Mexicans” there is in the country, with it being 47%[4] in 2010 and 49% in 2017.[10] Due its not as direct racial undertone, the label “Light-skinned Mexican” has been favored by the government and media outlets over “White Mexican” as the go-to choice to refer to the segment of Mexico's population who possesses European physical traits[11] when discussing different ethno-racial dynamics in Mexico‘s society. Sometimes nonetheless, “White Mexican” is used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexicans_of_European_descent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
