I don't know. I'm pale myself. People have gotten into arguments with me over whether or not I'm an actual Puerto Rican due to my skin. It's not just the light skinned Hispanics they've done this to. They've also argued with people who looked more black than Hispanic. I never really understood why.
There are always mixes too of course. Half black/ half Puerto Rican, half Puerto Rican/ half white, half black/ half white, half white/ half Chinese, half black/ half Chinese, half Puerto Rican/ half Chinese, etc. This is what is so different from like 50-70 years ago, all the half/half people were extremely rare back then. It was practically always all white, all black, all Chinese, all Puerto Rican, etc. Mixed couples having kids was so rare due to the extreme discrimination they would've gotten back then.
Thing is though, none of us are mixed. Our families just happened to be really dark or really pale. Our parents would be from a Hispanic country and speak the language, but we couldn't speak it since we were only taught English. To them if you don't look the part or speak it you're not Hispanic and aren't worth their time. Trying to tell them that Hispanic comes in all sorts of colors never seems to work.
is pale skin attractive?
