There are three true races, Caucasoid, *******, and Mongoloid (Asian). And yes, most latinos are descended from Europeans and Indians, mixed. A lot of people confuse race with nationality, and there is no brown race.

There are no races. There are racists who try to define people on perceived differences in colour but every attempt at defining races fails. There are people of different cultures, belief systems etc and people from all different parts of the world but you cannot define anyone by skin colour, the shape of the eyes of the nose or any of the other so-called "racial" characteristics.

Stop thinking of people as being of different races, they aren't.

Yes, Hispanic is not a race and most Hispanics are a mixture of things

Race is myth, except of course for the human race.

If it is a race, Adriana Lima will win easily.
