the most wonderful place on earth, where one escapes reality from as little as twenty four hours to as long as years at a time, only those so fortunate to have experienced it themselves know the true meaning of the place and what happens there
Imagine the place you've ever felt most accepted, most free to be yourself, somewhere you feel completely at peace, a place you would always love to be. then multiply it by about 100,000... that is what Camp Metigoshe is like

Originally denoting a person of mixed white and indigenous race in former Spanish colonies in Latin America and the Philippines. This is not strictly the case anymore.
Nowadays, particularly in Latin America, it really denotes any mainstream Latino/a, regardless of their actual ancestry. Oftentimes, indeed, perhaps most of the time, people who are purely American Indian by race are called "mestizos" simply because they speak Spanish, do not have any tribal affiliation, and are otherwise just seen as a mainstream Mexican/Peruvian/Ecuadorian, etc. The only people termed "Indians" nowadays in Latin America are those who maintain an ethnic identity apart from the mainstream, speak a non-Spanish language, etc.
In the Philippines, unlike Latin America, "mestizo" has maintained its mostly racial definition.

Get the Mestizo mug.A term that means "half-blood", by defintion half Native American (Aztec) and half White (Spanish). It was created by the Spanish when they conquered what is now know as Mexico. They were attempting to make Mexico The New Spain. During there time of rule they interbreeded with the Aztecs creating the race know as "mestizo". So that there would be any confusion with people who were fully Spanish(White) vs half Spanish(Native/White), the Spanish made the term to catagorize the three. Today Mexico is full of people who look like Native Americans but in all reality a every few percent are Native American, most are mixed. For this reason there are, as they call them, "white" mexicans because some Mexicans have more Spanish features, while most have indigionous features.
What's your race?
Oh, I'm Mexican.
Mexican is not a race it's a nationality.
Oh, um... then I'm Hispanic.
Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race.
Oh, then I'm mestizo.
What's that?
By defintion mestizo is a "half-blood" who is half Native American Aztec, and half White Spanish.
Oh so that means your too races, since there's only three, there's the Causcasian(White), Negroid(Black), and the Monogoild(Asian) that would make you both Monogoild and Caucasian.
No, because although we are both races we are only classified as Monogoilds due to our skull shape.
Oh, I'm Mexican.
Mexican is not a race it's a nationality.
