I always wondered how NA see Hispanics. Most of us have indigenous bloodline. And for some time in history there was trading going on between Mesoamerican tribes and tribes from the north.

I myself feel really proud to have this indigenous blood running trough me. I wish I could speak a language but the Spanish oppression that my ancestors went through was tough.

Anyways back to the question. How do native Americans see us Hispanics?

Haha yeah some of us tend to be hairy but for myself I can't even grow a mustache (it's weird for a Mexican). We see native Americans as people who have been able to keep their culture. Many Hispanics think their culture is what came about from the mixture of Spanish and indigenous cultures, I tend to reject that and respect and feel the pride of my Mesoamerican roots.

I wish more Hispanics would follow NA examples of pride.

What do you think about Hispanics ever being consider as NA in the census? I'm always written down as white in any government paperwork. Which is not accurate at all.
