                The Moors did occupy Spain/Portugal for 800 years so I am sure many did mix

                  I had to sit back trying to explain why a Mexican could be so white with red hair to the people I was watching the fight with. This one African American dude even said, if that guy is Mexican then I am Chinese. People can be so ignorant about other cultures sometimes. Hell I remember having to explain why Edison Miranda is Latino and not just black at this one fight party I went to.

                    Many Mexicans/Latinos have nicknames like that, that are more based on appearance, like "Chino,Negro,etc"
