It is rather confusing. [/quote] White Hispanic, higher European/Spanish blood in that there Mexican. Job survey forms and such oft seem to say Hispanic/Non-Hispanic, and then race, or include Caucasian Hispanic and non-Caucasian Hispanic.

Anastasia13 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 [quote name='FuturePriest387' timestamp='1350776527' post='2495489'] My guess is something cooler like ancient Greek paganism. All bow down in fear before Helios and Zeus! [/quote] Zoroastrianism? [quote name='r2Dtoo' timestamp='1350776681' post='2495490'] Bacon is the best religion ever. [/quote] Not kosher or halal.

[/quote] Greek paganism is way cooler than Zoroastrianism. Sentencing a man to have his organs eaten out by a bird and then have them grow back every single day for the rest of his life is just amazing stuff.

Anyway the good god lost and now the small pockets left inbreed and don't usually take converts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
