Hispanics are from like South America
Mediterraneans are from anywhere that borders the Mediterranean Sea I think. Is your son part Arabic?
You’ve been through it sister
That is so sad! I’m sorry for that! Especially family should welcome you no matter your race or colour or whatever. I have several half-breed cousins of all sorts and colours! They weren’t treated differently in our family, but when one aunt and uncle searched for a primary school and my aunt (who has a slight accent, so people can hear she is not native Dutch) called a school, they were told only by the accent of the mums voice “the children wouldn’t fit in at this school”. :-/

Ah! I always wondered, because Hispanic to me as a non-native speaker and non-American sounds like “from spain” 
I knew it was Southern Americans too, but never really knew about the Southern Europeans. He doesn’t have Arabic influences, but Portuguese. His dad is a lot “darker” than me, with olive skin and dark hair and dark eyes. I always have a soft spot for that. 
My son ended up a bit inbetween.
Love 
️ me some brown men!!!

Well they’re called Hispanic because Spain 
colonized the area and mixed with the native indigenous people there so Hispanics have Spanish in their blood from way back
So did my daughter as you can see in her pic Her father is very dark
I see! Nice photo of the two of you!
I’m a little curious how my son will look when he grows up, whether he’ll look more like his father or like me, or stay in between. In no way do I care more or less about him depending on his colour or looks, but… I don’t know… I just wonder what he will look like when he becomes a man, out of curiosity.

I got a lot of bigotry growing up for being from a Baha’i family and not a Christian family like god intended. I got bullied a lot for it in elementary. By middle school the jerks knew to stay away and my friends didn’t care.

I did actually experience the opposite kind of prejudice as well, how would you call that. In my own country I just blend in, which feels good, and is a privilege. But I have also travelled where I was treated with clear favours because of being white… e.g. people offering me to put me in front of a long long waiting line, or people admiring my fair skin and offering me a job because I was European. This was very uncomfortable and I didn’t like it at all.

Not really or I didn’t care, but I can’t stand political talk that divides and generalizes history like on here about the history of Latin Americans. I can’t stand those AncestryDNA commercials. A term I can’t stand is “ethnically ambiguous”.
Sorry to hear that. 
Luckily the friends at high school were acting normally.
In the USA there’s this stereotype that female blondes have only Air between the ears (stupid;no brains). Lucky you don’t live here
They make jokes about that here too, but I dont think they really mean it.

What’s that? Is it someones ancestry sorted out by their DNA? Why do people do that? What on earth does ethnically ambigious mean?

the whole idea of prejudice and bigotry is absurd, even when it’s reversed.
seems like people complaining and hating instead of doing something to improve themselves and each other to me. just another thing to get in the way of doing and living better.
though i do admit there has been plenty of unfair and unjust acts through out history and people to this day still carry such small or incomplete points of view that it harbors ill will towards others. it’s unfair to treat people like that. i believe in a persons qualities and not the superficial things that hold us all back.
it’s almost time for people to let go of a lot of the petty hate and actually get on with this reality or let it hang about our necks for a few thousand more years and be just another thing we could’ve done without but were too caught up in trying to define us as a negative instead of as a positive.
i don’t get people sometimes but life’s not perfect and what do i know.
eh, sorry about that.
lil too serious. didn’t mean to bring anyone down.
us americans take our freedoms a lil too liberally sometimes. 
Me too, @Loke. My son and his father were both Latino men.
Yes, too often I suppose.
The pinche blanquitoś are the worst.
