If you look in the media the majority of celebrities who are a Non Hispanic White/Latino mix do have a phenotype that would be eyeballed by most as looking White. While most celebrities in the media who are a Non Hispanic Black/Non Hispanic White mix do show visible SSA admixture.

I have a friend who is half Nicaraguan on his mother's side and English, Dutch, and German on his father's side and most people think he looks fully White even though his Nicaraguan mother phenotype wise would look right at home in an Aztec tribe. Although when I say White I don't mean he looks Nordic White, he has that dark Brit/Irish look like a Colin Farrell for example.

Most Latinos/white mix looks not white. Btw i've seen half black/ half amerindian mixed people who where amerindian looking.

Have you seen actress Cameron Diaz? Her father is an olive-skinned Cuban and her mother is White. Cameron Diaz is blond and blue-eyed. Have you seen the thread with black parents who produce white children? So it is not as uncommon as you seem to think. Just because you haven't personally seen it doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.

Most Latinos/white mix looks not white. This is like shooting fish in a barrel. You have 24 hours either to provide a source for these two claims, retract them, or face suspension. If you want to become better informed, I agree with Sadie and suggest that you should review the Black parents with White children thread. Perhaps you should also read The Heredity of “Racial” Traits. If you do not want to become better informed, your next suspension will be for two weeks. Alternatively, you can avoid suspension or the need for retraction if you re-phrase your claim as unsubstantiated personal feelings, something like the following: "It's very rare that a mixed person has children who look white to me. Most Latinos/white mix looks not white to me even if they are pink-skinned blue-eyed blondes who look utterly Nordic to everyone else. My knowledge of their ancestry makes them look non-White to my eyes." Phrasing it thus wil avoid your suspension, although it will probably get you shunned by decent people.
