Hi, sorry, check in every once in a pretty long while, I don't write on the forum any more, and didn't see you'd left a message until now. We're doing fine, hope you are all doing great, miss you all and thanks so much for checking in!

My box is empty...and was giving me grief when I tried to send msg. Not sure....feel free to email me. chasinglivandjohn@gmail.com :-)

You are mostly correct. I was just trying to point out a difference between race and ethnicity using myself as a complicated example.

Actually my fathers family originated from not spain but Scotland, men and directions, got lost and ended up in Mexico.

migrated to Northern Mexico very close to where the US Mexico border is now.

But hey, I never spoke spanish and my dad is an "Italian cook" by trade, and I grew up with a very "white" name.

These type of conversations people want to make so cut and dry on such a complicated issue, where there are just as many rights to wrongs.

Hey,
Not wanting to derail the ethnicity/race thread, 'cause if I post a reply there it'll just help silliness take hold, but wanted to say I'm pretty sure I get what you were saying about Mexican heritage, makes total sense to me, your family is from an area that was Mexico at the time they lived there. I would think that might also mean they were of Spanish and not, say, Mayan descent so that would mean you have to check the "white" box on the silly little papers? Anyway, I think anyone with a little history knowledge gets what you're saying.
Have a great day.
