I’m brown and I’m confused by where the question is wrong. If she’s 1/2 Mexican, her family is from a city in Mexico or since it’s California if she’s 5th generation she would say “My family is from California before it became U.S territory”

The amount of times people have asked me where my wife is “really” from is insane. She has lived in the East Bay her entire life.

I just tell them. My Grandparents ancestors have lived in California when it was part of Mexico. Then I tell them My Grandma's ancestors owned the city of Sunnyvale. When did your ancestors come to America? It shuts them up. Then they say I'm not really Mexican.

We are Mestizo and already part European so some labeled 1/2 white would actually be more like 3/4 white

U forgot to ask her where she’s from, and then when she says USA or a state, respond, “no your ancestors.”
