I was born in Chicago to fair skinned parents, one with green eyes and the other with hazel eyes. Mexico, especially in the larger urban areas, is quite cosmopolitan; although it was controled by several European empires, peoples from many countries emmigrated to Mexico for economic opportunities, and these rich ethnic varieties can still be clearly seen. Mexicans come in many colors, and their ancestors’ cultures have become a part of Mexico and of what it means to be Mexican.
