Wow, my head is swimming. I recall reading a textbook on Mexican history. I believe they have 8 racial classes - I don't even remember the names of them all. Pure Spanish, Black-Spanish, Black-Spanish-Indian, pure Indian, and so on.

Yeah, they've simplified it a lot. Most of them are just called Meztizo. There is discrimination in Latin America too, with the Caucasians being at the top of the heap as well as being the better off segment of the population. That's why you don't see too many Caucasian Mexicans sneaking into the US.

Turn on any spanish-language soap opera and you'll notice that most of the actors are Caucasian too (unless they are playing a maid!).
