Anyone needing any proof that Hispanic men and women are as racially diverse as Caucasians need look no further than Brazil.

Brazilian men and women can range in a genetic spectrum from the quadroon-like, almost negro skin and dark hair and eyes to the nordic-looking fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes.

The same thing can be said for the Irish, too. They don't all have red hair and green eyes. We like to think they do, because, for some reason, we have this whole red hair fantasy. Truth be told, the irish have a diverse genetic population as well. True, you don't see any irish with hispanic or black features, but you do see dark haired, dark eyed irish as well ass blonde haired, blue eyed ones.

Racial diversity means very little these days. So called "african americans" are not african. Most of them have never been to Africa, most never will. To say someone is hispanic or irish or german is simply to denote that their roots came from Spain or Ireland or Germany. Not the individual, but the ancestry.

And to be quite honest, aside from where our forefathers came from, what do any of us really have that differs from anyone else you could walk up to on the street and greet?
