Hello,
I discovered an interesting site with an extensive list of
definitions of racial classifications used by the Spanish. In
addition to the definitions, there are beautiful paintings of mixed
race adults and children. I'm not one to get emotional over
paintings, but these really moved me, particularly after discovering
the extent of my diversity.

For those of you who have discovered mulato or coyote roots, don't
miss this "Castas" exhibit:

And Joe, that was a clever little response to my introduction. I'm
going to propose that the members call you "Dr. Puentes" from now
on.
