Also look at margarito, the guy is damn near 6 feet tall and has a long european looking face, he looks like a Spaniard.
I can't seem to find the picture of all the brothers posing, but when i find it i will post it here

He has the Spanish conquistador blood. They mixed with the Natives and sometimes a Mexican woman will give birth to what looks like a full European.
The conquistadors were described by the Aztecs as "white skin and red beards"
Red beards=Red hair
There are a lot of white Mexicans, especially in Mexico city. You just don't see them in the US because they are not the ones crossing the border but they are down there.

That's the truth and there are also many Spanish pure blood descendants in Mexico that came with the wave of Spanish inmigrants because of their Civil War when Franco was in power.Last edited by ksan; 08-17-2011, 12:30 PM.
