Actually, both of his parents were born in Mexico and only Ted's maternal grandfather was of basque descent. However, even that was diluted after a few generations in Mexico and then the U.S. Unlike the typical Mexican family, the venzors identified more with their basque heritage than their...

Well, Mexican is a nationality not an ethnicity..... Race can be an issue in any country, but for the most part, nationality trumps ethnicity in Mexico. It doesnt matter if the individual is white, black, brown or blue, the Mexican public will root for you enthusiastically as long as you're...
