How do you feel about interracial relationships?

I'm open minded.

Me too.

I guess I'm in one. My husband is anglo. Although I don't really consider being a mestiza latina to be of different race, most people do I suppose.

Neither family really had a problem with it. My older brother maybe a bit at first, and his mom a bit at first. That's about it.

I'd throw it in *ebony* - there'd be good contrast of colors going on.

I'd be more worried about her family giving a shit than her family - aka reverse racism.

I am white and my husband is PR (so that is Spanish Indian I suppose??) I like having the two cultures in my family, my mother in law makes YUMMY hispanic food.

What is a mestiza?

I think Mestiza is half european ancestry half native ancestry.

Yep, what Bruce said pretty much. Latino is just a very general reference to a place of origin, not a race. Mexicans, Carribeans, Central and South Americans come in all shades. Some a lot lighter in skin tone than others. Since the native Mexicans were generally darker & looked different than the Spaniards, those of us with more native ancestry look ethically different. I look closer to the Spaniard end than native end, but still Mestiza.

Mestizo is what most Americans think of as "looking Mexican". We do have white Mexicans though with light brown hair and green eyes.

My husband's grandmother (off the boat PR) had red hair green eyes married in PR to a man who had strong Spaniard/Indian roots, 13 kids.... all brown hair brown eyes... it's funny how genetics works like that. I have red hair green eyes, mostly french Indian with strong scottish roots apparently, husband has brown hair/eyes, tans easily... and my kids one has red hair blue/green eyes and the other has blond hair blue eyes.... don't know where that one came from, LOL
