Most of the group whom you refer to more than likely sees themselves a White and are seen as so for the most part. I don't think a "White-Mestizo" marrying an "Anglo" in west Texas is seen in the same way as Black woman or man marrying any Non-Black anywhere in the U.S. We could go on about the whole Hispanic/latino thing but that
would be a 5 pager |
Maybe it's a 5 pager worth going into?
First of all, "White-Mestizo" is redundant, since "Mestizo" is defined as somebody with both White (European, usually Spanish) and American Indian ancestry. However, Mestizos in Texas are still a different color and have a different culture (and language, usually) from American Whites.
African Americans are also a different color (and, arguably, have a differnt culture) from American Whites. Why is it so different, do you think, for an American White to marry an African American as it is for an American White to marry a Hispanic Mestizo?
Just curious.
