That's the future white people of the USA. Not surprising.

[Sikeliot]

Those look like pure blooded Native Americans.. not mestizos.

That woman at 1:20 is white? If she's "white" then I am a martian.

[Austin]

They are what whites call Mexicans. They are all the same.

[Sikeliot]

Every one of them would pass better as Indonesian than any type of European.. but it sounded more like they were confused about their race, than deliberately trying to be white. It sounded like they might be ignorant of their history or brainwashed by the whole "Hispanic race" idea. Maybe it's not their fault.

EDIT: The guy at 4:29 thinks all his ancestors come from Spain? That's funny

Oh no those people think they are white. Mexicans in the U.S. all proclaim to be white as they hate their Mestizo heritage.

More Hispanics check 'white' on Census

More people in El Paso see themselves as both Hispanic and white, new 2010 U.S. Census figures released last week show.
It could have been outreach efforts by civic groups, or a different mindset among white-collar and younger Hispanics, but at least 84 percent of Hispanics in El Paso County marked the "white" box on their 2010 Census forms. Less than 73 percent of Hispanics checked that box in 2000.
County officials and advocacy groups reached out to Hispanics in advance of the latest count to explain that most Hispanics in El Paso are white.
"We are becoming more and more educated," said Christina Bennett, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, in El Paso.
Texas State Demographer Lloyd Potter on Thursday said El Paso's growth is attributable to a young population of Hispanics with high birth rates, an influx of military personnel and immigration from Mexico.
Most of the county's growth during the past decade came from Hispanics. An increase of 126,000 Hispanic residents and 5,000 other minorities offset the loss of 10,000 Anglos.
El Paso County expanded by 18 percent to 800,647 people, adding 121,000 new residents in the past 10 years.
More than eight out of 10 El Pasoans are Hispanic.
In one question, the U.S. Census Bureau asked whether people are of Hispanic origin. In another, it required them to claim a race -- mainly white, black, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native.

Count Committee, waited to see how people answered those two questions when census results came out Thursday. "Some people just don't want to identify themselves as white or black so they put other," Acosta said. "Hispanic is an ethnicity."
Acosta explained to civic groups before the April 1 count that race and ethnicity are different concepts. Race has to do with biological descent. Ethnicity is about cultural heritage.
The Chicano movements in the 1960s influenced the Census Bureau to count Hispanics as a cultural group, Acosta said.
Censuses have been asking the Hispanic origin question since 1970. Unlike the 2000 form, Census 2010 explained that "Hispanic origins are not races."
Acosta estimated that about 98 percent of Hispanics in El Paso are white.
But there are still at least 80,000 Hispanics in the county who did not feel comfortable marking "white" on their census forms.
Felipe de Ortego y Gasca, a Chicano scholar in residence at Western New Mexico University, said the Census Bureau does not take culture into consideration.
"We always referred to them as Los Blancos or Los Americanos. And that differentiated us," Ortego said. "The questionnaire is a little too amorphous. It could be more direct."
Ortego checked "other race" on his form and wrote in the blank space: "Indo-Hispanic."
Arnold said the bureau received forms from people who wrote they were Hispanic in answer to the racial question.
"It's just how people identify themselves," said Jenna Arnold, spokeswoman for the census bureau's Dallas regional office.
It seemed odd for José Luis Mauricio, leader of a group of Mexican businessmen who are moving El Paso, to check "white" as his race.
"It felt kind of funny. You feel kind of uncertain," he said.
The data released Thursday were the first installment of local statistics. Later in the year, the bureau will release more specific data about racial categories, countries of origin, ages and sex.

Well all I can say is, no one in their right mind would consider those people white when half of them look like Maoris and Southeast Asians.

How revolting

The americans need to militarize that border immediately

Yes but in America you do realize that every single Mexican considers themselves Spanish at least publicly yes? They hide behind the title of 'Hispanic' as seen in the video yet Hispanic means nothing but a cultural heritage, it isn't a race hence these people are intentionally claiming to be Spanish when they are clearly Mestizo. Mestizo is the product of Spanish male conquistadors and Native South American women eloping from olden times after the Indian males died off from Spanish diseases from the old world.

I've lived in South Texas all my life and I've never encountered the Mexican, no matter how dark, who said they were anything other than Spanish or Hispanic (implying Spanish).

If they really want to be so white I wonder what this kind of tattoos mean:
