According to wikipedia Mexico is 10% white, 60-70% Mestizo, and 20-30% Indian,
Interesting how you shade that. What Wiki actually says is
10-15% Ethnic European, Mestizo (European/Amerindian) 60-75%, and Indigenas between 11% pure Amerindian and 30% predominantly Amerindian.
H.S no white guys on the team just black and Puerto Ricans.
Brooklyn Champs! Doors Blown off at NYC Champs! I beleive I was the 3rd or fourth man......1987 gosh 20 years just flew by.
1 colored on our team.
There are plenty of other Hispanics in the US besides those you listed. Many of us are South American (Colombian, Argentine) and we look like our Spanish ancestors. "Hispanic" is not a racial term, I have light brown hair and green eyes and no one thinks I'm anything but "white."

Just wondering.
None. Nonwhites didn't run XC and anyway we had very few in our school.
Malmo, is that Duval, WA?
Right you are, gomez. In fact, 'hispanic' should be limited to Europeans and Euroamerican caucasians. We would not refer to a German-speaking black Namibian as Germanic!
Now that I think of it, I believe there was one very rich Argentine on our XC team.

nice picture, malmo.
just down the street from you, it varied during my 4 years. usually between 3 and 5.
of course, i was in high school during the lean years of our county's cross country/distance running history, so no state titles (in cross country) to speak of.
i'll bet you're not white when you're applying for a loan.

Yes I check the Hispanic box, because the other one usually says White (non-Hispanic). I am pure European descended (half Spanish/Dutch), unlike most Mexicans or other "Hispanics" who really aren't Hispanic at all but mostly indigenous or a mix with European peoples. Call them Latino or whatever you like, when someone thinks "Hispanic" in America they think some swarthy person with a Mexican accent and when someone looks at me and says "You're not Hispanic, you're white" I want to bust their ignorant jaw. My older brother has a darker complexion so he doesn't get as much shit, but he still looks European and nothing like the Mestizos or whatever they call themselves.

The ignorance on here never ceases to amaze me. Puerto Rico is about 80% white.
We had zero on the entire team, probably because we had about 15 total in our high school of 500 people.
We didn't have a top 7, there weren't enough people. On the boys team I think 0.
In all of the North and South American countries, if you're heritage is from any other country besides the U.S or Canada, you can be deemed non-white (simply for the sake of diversity, because actually most latino's are pretty dam close to white, if not white, however there are some that have more indian or black in them than others).
0 is hs
0 in college

Oregon's Danny Lopez used to go through this all the time, "I am not Mexican, dammit, I'm Puerto Rican!"
