What did the Mexicans look like back then? Just curious
For one, they were quite a bit taller on average, and slimmer (but weren’t we all). Their legs were generally longer in comparison to their torsos. Their facial features looked as much Spanish as Native American—i.e., sharper features and longer heads with a more pronounced jaw line, on average.
Now, they look more like my wonderful hairdresser from the years when I live in the NYC area. She was Guatemalan who had married a U.S. serivceman stationed there. She was very short and a bit stocky, with short limbs, and different features—more blunt features and a rounder head. She was very attractive and a nice, nice person. Her husband was a lucky guy. However, she didn’t look European at all, unlike Vicente Fox, or Calderon, for example.
