Mind-blowing Mexican race and DNA results

Race, ethnicity, nationality, tribe, hair color?

(Evo Inception) Oct. 26, 2024: Here is an in-depth analysis of what makes "Mexican" genetics unique. First, the country is not called Mexico but the United Mexican States (Estados Unidos Mexicanos). Who lives there, blended with the Indigenous people, and where did they come from?

Meet the Redhead Latina: Mexican Ana Saia

• WARNING: Not a real Ginger but just another blond with a bottle of strawberry red dye!
• Beautiful Red Heads (con cabello rojo no de botella pero verdad) 02 (pinterest.com)

(Great Day Houston) The word "Hispanic" encompasses a large group of people whose heritage includes roots from imperial Spain. Especially going south of the border, one soon realizes that it's not related to one color of skin, eyes, or hair.

The way Ana Saia looks throws some people off, but she's Hispanic and calls herself "The Redhead Latina." She shares her Mexican American heritage with over 3,000,000 followers on TikTok.

Her most popular videos include her blond Mexican mom. A so-called No sabo ("I don't know") kid is a child who comes from a Latin or Hispanic family yet speaks little to no Spanish. Because of this, s/he can sometimes be treated as an outsider in the culture.

Saia created a post explaining how to survive a family reunion as a No sabo kid. She grew up listening to Spanish being spoken at home in Las Vegas but continuously works to improve her Spanish skills to clean up that pesky Gringo accento or "English accent" many tend to have due to the culture clash.

As a social media personality, she is often faced with backlash and hateful comments, as if she were an impersonator. But she loves to turn a bad situation upside down. She is advocates against bullying and often finds these situations to be opportunities to help others deal with insecurities.

To watch Ana Saia's videos, follow her on TikTok@saianana tiktok.com/@saianana?lang=en or Instagram@anasaiaofficial. She also makes longer-form videos on YouTube: @saianana.

Ask a Mexican! with Gustavo

Since 2004, Gustavo Arellano has written the wildly popular -- and wildly politically incorrect -- Ask a Mexican! column in the OC Weekly.

• “Ask a Mexican!”

In each installment, the California-born Arellano answers reader questions about Mexican-American (Chicano/a) mores that rarely get tackled in day-to-day conversation even in blended Alta California.

Ask a Mexican (Gustavo Arellano)

He's discussed whether it's safe to shop for prescription drugs in border towns, why Mexicans eat so many tortillas, and if it's common for Mexican men to wear necklaces bearing their mothers' names. (It's not, cautions Arellano, and probably a sign that a particular hombre has a chica south of the border).

The column, Arellano told Reuters, "started off as a joke. It was supposed to be just a satirical take on xenophobia against Mexicans, and it just exploded." The column now [2011] appears in about three dozen publications and spawned a 2007 collection. (Buy it here).

The column is remarkable not only for its humor and insights but its willingness to talk frankly about topics that usually stifle even the most open conversationalists.

In April 2011, Reason's Nick Gillespie talked with Arellano about U.S. natives' attitudes toward Mexicans, whether half-Mexican Anthony Quinn's performance in Zorba the Greek or Jack Black's Mexican-wrestler turn in Nacho Libre was more offensive, whether Mexicans can or should assimilate, the effect of the Drug War on border relations, and much more.
