Too much trouble and inconvenient for anyone to bother with.

“Mexicans are a pack of drunk illiterate indians”

—Che Guavara

“The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing, have seen their territory invaded by a new kind of slave: the Portuguese. And the two ancient races have now begun a hard life together, fraught with bickering and squabbles. Discrimination and poverty unite them in the daily fight for survival but their different ways of approaching life separate them completely: The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations.”

—Che Guevara in Motorcycle Diaries

An interesting account. His grandparents were aristocrats for sure.

You have a link

I can’t find it

His Irish family line Lynch were in Shipping on the River Plate

I don’t see American ancestors

I’ve read a lot on Ché

Starting with his war journal which frankly was an interesting read admittedly

I was friends in Miami with 2506 people including several still active and one executed in the early 90s so I was under no illusion about Guevara but no question what a wild life

He was pretty doctrinaire Marxist

And he was a doctor -- a dermatologist. Who was neither Cuban nor Bolivian.
