What would be my heritage?

Question

Okay so my dad is from south america. Hes adopted so they dont really know where, either Brazil or Argentina.I look like my dad, with dark hair, eyes and tan skin/ I look nothing like my mom at all who has blue eyes and blonde hair, i think her heritage is like some place in europe. So when that conversation comes up what would i say im latin or hispanic? because isnt latin from mexico? I know this question is really really wierd but i asked my dad and he was like you figure it out lol. but thanksssss!

Answer 1

I would say Brazilian and Northern European.

Latin wouldn't be wrong.  It incorporates all of the countries once colonized by Spain or Portugal.  Your dad is most likely part Portuguese and part Indian, as most Brazilians are, though there are mixtures of lots of everything else there.Your mom could be anything from French to Irish to Norwegian, or mixes of some of them.  

Answer 2

If your dad is from Brazil he is probably a mix of Portuguese and the native Indians/Brazilians.

If your Dad is Argentinian then he is descended from Spaniards/Spanish people.

I can't tell you where your mom is from it could be anywhere in Europe.

Answer 3

when someone asks, just explain this to them... you should be proud of it too that's awesome that you come from like so many places :)

Answer 4

You're Hispanic. Your dad probably has some native and European blood in him. Some people from Latin America look a lot like natives, others, who haven't been mixed very much look European. Where is your mother from? Saying she is blonde with blue eyes doesn't really signify anything. And will people please cut it out, just because you are blonde doesn't mean you are Nordic or from Northern Europe. Besides, even the word blonde is tricky, I mean how blonde, Aryan blonde or sandy blonde... blablabla.
