    The fact is most hispanic fighters, especially south american ones, are mixed with european blood.

    No way you just cant claim some and not others. Majority of Mexicans are equally mixed with Indian and Spanish so basically were latino.

    You should read up on Monzon he was from a little village and of mostly native background in San Javier more indigenous than european.

    Arbachakov was probably as much Asian as Caucasian as well.

    Right those are the ones i put question marks by which was almost half of the list. Darchinyan like many armenians look just about as much middle eastern as they do European. Arthur Abraham too,

    I was gonna bring up some of the white leaning latin americans but its a whole other subject, I don't think anyone's looking for white latin americans in this subject. If that was the case this thread would blow up with new possibilities.

    Well Armenians aren't European genetically but they're more closely related to Europeans than any other tribe of people so if you were trying to group them it'd have to be Euro. That plus their Language which is Indo-European and the fact that not only are they Christian but actually established the first Christian church circa 200 AD makes them Europeans in my eyes, i can't see any legit argument to claim otherwise.

    I know a lot of armenians use to live in Glendale,Ca which is like 70% armenian. In the census they are considered white however id say a good % of them dont consider themselves white. But technichally they are a european country thats why i included them, but id say the majority of them dont look white at all. For example if i saw Darchinyan or Abraham walking down the street i would not mistake them for being caucasian. Ive know quite a few armenians that often mistaken for Latinos or middle eastern.

    I hear ya i'm just saying that culturally, linguistically, religiously they're European and genetically most closely related to Euro's than anyone else. There are Greeks, Italians, Spaniards etc that look like that doesn't make them not Europeans.
