Sergio Martinez won me a C-note!

They're Mexican. Obviously, a lot of times you can look at a Latino/Hispanic and recognize that they look more white, or more indigenous native-american. In this case, I think someone like Sanchez would have more Spanish blood than native-american. Skin color isn't the only indication, though, and sometimes it can be a mistake to bank off of that since a person could get more reccessive genes and their dominant DNA could just make them look more Spanish. The reality is that they could mostly be native-American. The blending of these races is an ethnicity, though. It's arguably a race too, but we could argue all day over the difference and semantics between Latino and Hispanic. Even if one may look more white, and be more white, I don't see how you look at him as being "part-white" that's what makes them Mexican, Puerto Rican, or whatever... And at the end of the day that's what they would recognize themselves as. Never white, or Caucasian.

 

Martinez looks about as indigenous as Hitler.

 

Ummm...... if they are a mestizo and are part indio and part Spanish-- remember, Spaniards are.... and I will say it again since it apparently hasn't sunk in..... white-- how could they not be part-white irrespective of how they recognize themselves??? :-(

Or can a person "be more white" without being "part-white?"

That has to be one of the most ridiculous/confounding assertions I have ever encountered here at ESB.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

:good

 

I'm desended directly from Spaniards and I'm as white as snow...

 

Martinez and de la Hoya could pass as European. Spanish, Italian, maybe even French. The difference is one is known to be of 100% European ancestry.

 

A-****ing-men!

:good

 

So basically, you broke even.

 

Good spot on post:good

 

So could a lot of Mexicans and other latinos both those guys look is very common. Are the White guys know trying to claim ODLH

 

Hey Hoops the only Latino you can claim thats white is Angel Manfredy he had to have been adopted, looking like a straight Nazi-Skinhead

 

some ****in Latinos are ashamed of their Indigenous ancestry, like Martinez

 

I never said anything about Oscar De La Hoya. Quit trying to change the subject. Sergio Martinez is a white guy, deal with it. :deal

 

So now Segio is lying when he states that he is of Spanish, and not of indigenous ancestry??

:-(

 

:-(

I don't have to claim Martinez. The man himself said he is Spanish and not of indigenuos or mestizo blood. :deal

Deal with it.

I am beginning to think you're pissed because he is a white man.
