Oh, By the way....

"Re: The Basques will be generally taller, and will tend to look different than those with significant Mayan / Aztec heritage.

Please, help me spot those "Mayan/Aztec" features on the following picture of a "modern Mexican" fellow:

modernmexican.com;

>>>>Any evidence this person is an illegal alien who crossed the Rio Grande and thus a "wetback" ? I don't think so ...<<<

My guess is when he visits the US, he choses an airline which gives him the best frequent flier miles...

There is a surprisingly large difference in heigth amoung Mexicans that relates to social class and nutrition. Some of being documented by sociologists and anthropologists.

I can even see it comparing the people comming from the Mexican airlines flights in San Jose during the week, (when there are fewer parting college students) with illegals on the street corners.

There's about a 4 inch difference in average height - maybe more. Even the few people on the street who like a bit like Vincente Fox (that mustache style is popular) are WAY shorter that Mr. Fox.

*******

In this thread, we talk a lot about income ineqaulity and Gini coefficents, etc. Mexican situation is pretty extreme, and thye Mexican government has done diddly about this for what ? 80 plus years ?
