"I've heard of blondes/redheads in southern Mexico, but not the other countries in Latin America. Mere curiosity on my part, mere hatred on theirs."

There used to be a red-headed Argentinian woman in my office, and she said it was her natural color. However, her features were Hispanic. Roberts kids, on the other hand, seemingly have no Hispanic features, and now the left is spinning that into charges of "racism." They will stop at nothing.

Correct... I'm aware of South America having blondes/redheads as my own family has Spanish blood and can be traced all over it. They're lumping Latin America with South America. I've met lighter South Americans as well: some from my own family (from Spain - through Portugal and Brazil). But nearly all of the Latin Americans I've met (Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala) are dark. There are always the exceptions and I was curious to find out which Latin American country his children were from.

I'm sure they'll tell us. You're right: They will stop at nothing.

There are more people with Italian last names in the Buenos Aires phonebook than there are with Spanish last names. There was a brief period in the 1920s-1940s (when large scale migration from Paraguay and Bolivia began) where Argentina was as white, if not whiter, than the U.S.
