Q: when i was growing up i was really light and most people thought i was just white and some of my ancesters on my moms side are really lite but im not sure and everytime i asked them they dont tell me the truth...so wat do i do?
A: The Spanish are white. Actually, Castilians are frequently blue eyed, blonde or light brown hair. There are people in the Americas who have Spanish names and speak Spanish but their ancestry is primarily of the native people that were in their countries before the Spanish conquistadors came. In Mexico, for instance, most are mixed. They are called Mestizos. Wendy told you correct. You cannot determine your ancestry by your pigmentation or your appearance. The only way you can know is to research it.
