I'd be interested in this too. My grandma was born in Colonia Juarez. I've always thought it was interesting that they were continuing to perform Church-sanctioned plural marriages in Mexico after the manifesto. Also, I've often wondered whether I could be considered 1/4th Mexican, since my grandma grew up in Mexico and was a Mexican citizen. :) I don't think I qualify as an underrepresented minority, but I also know all kinds of people with last names like "Pennington" who don't seem hispanic and qualify, so why shouldn't I? :) |

Here's a selection from the article that gives the gist: Quote:

Yes, Hispanic is not considered a race. It is an ethnicity.
