Which is ironic given they admit they’re mixed right out of the gate. As if claiming some arbitrary line between “mixed” and “predominantly European” will make the frothingfash see them as anything other than than “another kind of Mexican.”

I'm sure this happens to white people from Spain that find themselves in amerikkka all the time. The line of in-group/out-group for fascists is whatever is convenient for them at the given time.

Not-so-fun-fact: the concept of nobility being “blue bloods” comes from Spanish aristocrats of European descent claiming their veins showing through their pale skin was a sign they were of “better breeding” than the Moorish aristocrats whose darker skin meant their veins weren’t as readily apparent. So this shit goes back to even before the colonial era.
