followed by the question of why Americans are not dying from it, but Mexicans are.
Are they the campesinos, the Mongolians who came across the Bering Strait, down the West Coast and settled high in the mexican mountains, who have never interbred with the Spaniards/other Europeans since the 1500s?
Or is it the Mestisos, the part campesino, part european?
Certainly it is not the pure Europas doing the dying.
The Mexicans who seem to be most affected (to the extent of dying) are healthy young people. I would suspect that most of them are not of primarily Indian descent, since most of the indigenous people or their very close descendants live in the more outlying areas and are not well off. Middle class urban people in Mexico are mostly of European descent, which includes Spanish, French, Irish, and German; in addition, a fair number of Mexicans have Jewish ancestry.
