Actually, Francisco is not Brazilian, he's from Argentina.

Also, people of mixed descent (the so-called POCs) make most of the population in Mexico. Actually I can't say what exactly I am, other than mixed, as my ancestors come from at least eight different ethnic groups (completely different pre-Columbian civilizations), all of which still exist on modern Mexico, AND I am of Spanish descent as well. I can assure you I'm not the exception.

Also, as far as I know, not all Spanish people is white. Or so I was told on school, but teachers might have been deceiving me *shrug*

Where I live (South Mexico), most white-white locals you meet are usually at the bottom of the hierarchy. And they are usually the odd ducks. Same with black-black people. It is more usual to meet locals of Asian or Arab or Indian descent. White and black people are usually confused with tourists, and basically ignored.

Spain...is white. The whole reason why Mexicans are POC is because the Spanish conquistadors raped/intermarried with the NA tribes there.

Somehow I'm getting the feeling that people just want to be labeled something exotic, because they think being white is too "boring". (Not saying you, but the poster who said their blood is purely from Spain but live in Mexico)

I wouldn't call Spain white, for two reasons, both of whom I was taught in primary school: the Spanish Romani, and the Arabic influence on Spain demographics and culture. Certain regions are more white than others, undoubtedly, but then, Spain is one of the most known examples (in my profession) of a nation comprised of clearly distinct regions who pride in their cultural differences and governmental independence while still remaining part of a country.

And a good part of what we are taught in school while growing up is that our independentist movements were partly lead by people born in Spain but who decided to cut ties. For their own selfish reasons, of course, but the fact remains that calling oneself of purely Spanish blood instead of Mexican is more likely than not to get you rolling eyes, a smack in the head and a suggestion to stop being an idiot, if not worse.

The fact remains that Mexico is mostly mestizo (of mixed blood), so in our culture being white-white or black-black is to be exotic. Also, please, please don't call Mexico's (and Central and South America)'s pre-Columbian cultures 'tribes'. I understand the confusion, but they are not the same.

And I understand your point, but as another commenter pointed out elsewhere, the words and concepts used on racism and exoticism and POC discussion in mostly-USA environments (which this part of the internet is) is usually not directly applicable to other cultures.
