      Yes, the term Hispanic identifies people of the ancient Roman province Hispania, a region inhabited by Celto-Germanic groups like the Iberians and Lusitanians. Somehow it has morphed into a descriptor for people of mixed (but predominantly Indian) heritage in Latin America. I have actually been "corrected" when I asserted that Hispanic is a descriptor for European inhabitants of the Iberian peninsula. Compare Mexico to Canada: Canada was invaded/settled by Europeans. The Native population is small, the mixed ancestry population -- the metis -- is larger, and the European population is largest. Now historically Mexico has the same groups but different ratios: a large population of Natives, a larger population of mixed blood -- mestizo -- and a small population of European immigrants.

      The late Ricardo Montalban, a Mexican, was 100% European background, even though his family had lived in Mexico for generations. In this photo the girl in the middle has the classic looks of a Castilian. Actually, if I had to guess, I'd say she was from Portugal. And I'd put money on the other two having roots in the Spanish province of Galicia. They look more Scots/Irish. Galica = Gaul = Celts = Scots/Irish. But they may be descendants of Scots/Irish immigrants who chose to side with Mexico when Texas decided to "secede".

      Excellent stuff!

      I might add that Mexico is also a land of other immigrants as well.

      Don't forget that the French invaded Mexico at one point...and consequently many French stayed after their withdrawal from Mexico (my maternal great grandfather was one of them). Also, there was a rather large migration of Arabs to Mexico during the 19th and 20th centuries, the current population is a little over a million now...again, I'm also part of that legacy...my paternal grandfather was half Lebanese.

      Here's a great Wiki page on the Reconquista (Spaniards taking back their land from the Moors):

      The Moors conquered almost all of Spain except for the Asturias region in the north.

        Very cool and funny.

        The most people told me I look a lot like Mexican or Native American Indian.

        They're confusing what race I have.

        I told them I'm Cherokee/White/French but I look more Cherokee Indian from my Grandfather.

                              Eric Estrada is NOT Mexican...he's a Puerto Rican, lol.

                              Don't ever say that in either New York, or Los Angeles...you'll get killed by ricans in New York...and you'll get killed by beaners in LA...lol.
