    sergio is white. "argentine" or "latin" is NOT a race, LOL.

    people who are "latino" fall into three categories for "race": white (sergio martinez) black (tito trinidad, caballero casamayor, gamboa) and then some can claim they are descendents of the maya, inca, aztec, olmec, or whatver the natives were before the WHITE SPAINiards came and conquered... these people would be a different race, but i am ignorant on exactly what race it would be (whatever race the native americans, and eskimos are considered.. or maybe oriental)... an example of a boxer that could actually claim to be "mexican" or "nicaraguan" as their race would be mayorga.. juan manuel marquez also looks like he has some aztec or something in him

    Why is it so important to you that Sergio be white? Can't you just enjoy him for the badass that he is?

          If martinez had to fill out a form and they asked him to check off his ethnicity he would check Latin/Hispanic. Not White/Caucasian.

                In the States, if the authorities need to pull a racial profile on him, say he had a hit and run (random scenerio no biggie). He would be regarded as a White Hispanic. Not Cacuasion or White.

                  Sergio is obviously of european descent but I wouldnt catagorize him as a caucasoid.

                  The OP is right though. MAny latinos living in PR, dominican republic are white, black,brown, mulatto. Latinos in the caribbean and in south america especially brazil are the most mixed genetically on earth.

                    Most people tend to forget that Spanish is a "white" language ...
                    If Martinez is of european descent he is what most people would consider "White"
                    He doesn't look mexican at all.
