Sorry but wrong again. The majority of the mix is Mexican Indian.

But even assuming it is equally mixed that would still mean sixty/forty. 40% is not a majority.

So my statement that it is pretty much the same people who lived there then live there now is correct.

Anybody remember the "Big Mama" pickled sausages they used to sell in convenience stores?

The top two ingredients were 1) "Beef Lips," and 2) "Other Beef Byproducts."

I always wondered what the manufacturers didn't want to name after they'd already fessed up to the lips...

Check out the ingredients list on some brands of Chorizo, the spicy Mexican sausage, sometime if you can find it in your local grocery store. It often consists of ground up pork saliva glands, lymph nodes, and tear ducts. But it sure is tasty (as long as you don't ever read the ingredients list).

Did someone say Roman?

Well Trajan88 thumbs up to the coolness of this article ;-)

Marcus Ulpius Nerva Traianus (September 18, 53–August 9, 117), Roman Emperor (98–117), commonly called Trajan, was the second of the Five Good Emperors of the Roman Empire. Under his rule, the Empire reached its greatest territorial extent.
