I see a lot of posts regarding couples self-described as "white" and "Mexican."
When did "white" become synonymous with American and since when are all Mexicans not white? Wouldn't it be more accurate to describe these "mixed" couples as American and Mexican?
Not all Americans are white, and not all Mexicans are darker skinned... Where I live in Mexico (the north) there are tons of white Mexicans. My Mexican husband, for example, is not dark-skinned and we have plenty of Mexican friends and family here who are blonde and blue-eyed.
Anyway, I'm just curious of others' thoughts on the subject.
