Depends on what they look like. Meghan Markle is considered white by the general public.

No, she is considered a mystery meat former whore for whom the Queen will eventually arrange a "car accident".

I wonder what the queen and general public think of you. Oh, that’s right, they don’t.

They don’t think of you either, so who’s more stupid for caring about them?

That would be your insane self making up stories about what the queen thinks, calling someone you don’t know a whore, and fantasizing about a stranger’s death. You are very crazy and need to be strait jacketed and wheeled off.

They are white and Asian, two races, not one more than another. - mom to white and Asian kids.

......No, the point is that Hispanics never had that skin color obsession that you Anglos had.

We have other problems, but not that one -- which explains why most Hispanics are mixed race.

Now, if you want to keep promoting old stereotypes and bs, admit at least that you see yourself as black first and Latina second if at all. When was the last time you read an adult book in Spanish by a Hispanic writer?

You're another race-obsessed anglo.

I'm the white mother of 3 mixed race kids - my DH's family is South American. I don't know where you grew up but, from my MIL's stories, there absolutely IS 'skin color obsession' in Hispanics. I can't count the number of times it's come up among the women in my DH's family. It was an especially hot topic when it came to the color of babies in the family and the sunbathing of teenaged family members. My MIL was thrilled that my kids are so 'white' - not like her nieces/nephews whose parents are 'dark'. She, apparently, was called 'dark' growing up and negatively compared to her 'white' sister. I should note that my MIL's family was wealthy by South American standards and they were all proud they were 'Spanish' - with the implication they had no 'Indian' blood. DNA testing has proven them incorrect and the older generations refuse to believe the testing.

Although I don't know why it matters, the last book I read by a native Spanish speaker was The Alchemist by Paul Coelho. I've also read The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. In my years after college, I also read most of what Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote as well as the novels of Isabel Allende. Oh, I've also read Don Quixote by Cervantes which is actually one of my favorites but I'm a 'classics' kind of girl.

Yep. Prevalent in central america too. I get praise for my curly hair because straight hair is from indians according to many hispanics from central and south america but id much rather have straight hair in humid dc lol. Dominican sammy sosa also bleached his skin but he shouldn't have. Puerto ricans don't seem to care how dark one is but could be wrong.

+1. The Latino earlier in the thread is a ridiculous liar. Hispanics have terrible skin color and hair complexes. My Peruvian granny even has a height complex because Indians are short and she doesn’t want to admit how much Indian blood she has.

^^agreed. Many women who have darker skin are super insecure. They insist that they are of Italian descent - even though they look more Native American. I have been told that I’d never be poor in Latin America (I’m not poor in the us) because of my whiteness. And the non-lily white women are always gossiping about the lily white women. I guess lily white means slut. Smh.

Paulo Coelho is Brazillian and writes in Portuguese not Spanish, smarty pants who doesn't understand the difference.

Someone should tell them that northern Europeans don't consider Italians to be white.

Garibaldi didn't unite Italy, he divided Africa.

Italian descent (even the southern) don’t look Native American. They have very different features.

Eurasian refers to Central Asian kids - Kazakhs, Tajiks, and Turkmen. So let me throw this your question back at you, how could you not know that?

I don’t know if that many half kids who look white enough that no one would guess there were Asian genes mixed in. Though, I think a lot of times mixed Asian-white kids look Latino.

Same for my kids. One kid as more Asisn facial features but because of her hair (dark, thick, curly) people think the is Latina. The other one has less Asian facial features, and white ppl think she's white; but most other races recognized that she is mixed.

Same with my kid. White ppl think he’s white but others think he’s mixed. I think what White ppl base it on is his coloring, he is fair with light eyes.

My girls are half Irish and half Filipino/Chinese. My older one looks more Chinese with black hair and Asian features but green eyes. My little one has curly hair and dark brown eyes and gets very tan in the summer like many Filipinos. She's often asked if she's part Mexican or Hispanic.

For college my older child chose multi-racial but I'm told college admissions officers know that only students who are part Asian choose that, as opposed to those who are part African American. She got into a great school anyways!
