No, you weren't imagining anything. There are 'Swedish' looking Mexicans that don't speak English. Does tend to throw you off guard a bit, doesn't it?

There are several genetic lines in Mexico, same as there are here...The "coloring" variations are certainly present, as there are descendants of people from Spain, Aztec, many many other places...Or it is possible she is the child of a white woman who married and moved to Mexico with her husband? Having considered that possibility myself (I have a blue eyed, pale skinned child from a prior marriage), I realized the strong likelihood that my child would grow up speaking predominantly Spanish if we (bf and myself) go there instead of staying here. There are many possibilites of how you could encounter a person with this coloration who is a Mexican citizen speaking only Spanish....

Nothing unusual about a blonde Mexican. She is the descendant of Europeans (maybe by way of US) who settled in Mexico. You'll find Hispanics who can trace their right to US citizenship back 9 generations or more in US. Racial appearance has nothing to do with citizenship or language :D
As it becomes easier to migrate around the globe you'll find it is becoming much harder to judge by appearance what language a person is likely to know or where they are from.
A nephew of mine married a Filipina. She knows almost nothing about Philippines and speaks none of the languages. Her Australian is perfect though, since that is where she was born & raised :)

I assume there is a point here-
I just can't find it.
Spain is full of blonds with blue eyes.
Not surprising that in Mexico (which was a colony of Spain until 1821 ) would be some people that don't fit the common image people have of citizens of Mexico.

I can beat you. I met a blue eyed (real, not contacts), light brown hair Japanese woman (she is not biracial)! Hundreds of years ago, there was a clan called the Ainu who are a mix of Russian and Mongolian heritage (according to DNA testing)...they lived in the northern islands of Japan called Hokkaido. Many Japanese have Ainu blood so it's possible that blue eyed Japanese exists. See the link below. They look like Native-Americans.

Yes I knew this. My parents are Mexican and we have a lot of light-skinned/white skin relatives in Mexico. I have cousins and aunts/uncles that are naturally blond. The Hollywood stereotype of Mexicans is that of the "indigenous", but trust me there are a lot of Mexicans with natural blond or light colored hair and eyes. If you go to the north or Jalisco you will see a lot of them.

Yes. Many of the early Spanish were blonde haired and blue eyed.

Europeans settled south of the Rio Grande too.
You should realize what we call racism in the US is hardly true. Go to Mexico to see racism. The white Mexicans stay there because they really have no reason to leave. Only the brown ones (ie Indian or mixed ancestry) get the shaft and leave.

Mexicans come in all shapes, sizes, and hair colors. I went to High School with a bot that was Mexican with red hair.
