Trans-Med (a mix of Atlanto-Med & Gracile-Med) & Syrid (Armenoid + Arabid)
  1. She doesn't have any Amerindian ancestry, she is fully Jewish, her paternal grandparents were Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants from Lithuania & her maternal grandparents were Sephardic Jewish immigrants from Bulgaria.
  2. I dont understand why some people see Amerindian in her, only because she was born in Mexico, she doesn't have any Colonial Mexican ancestry, she is the granddaughter of four European Jewish immigrants, she is half Bulgarian Sephardic & half Lithuanian Ashkenazi.

She doesn't have any Colonial Mexican or Amerindian ancestry, she is 100% Jewish (half Bulgarian Sephardic & half Lithuanian Ashkenazi), all four of her grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Europe.

You guys see Amerindian features in every latin-american, unless (s)he looks like a Hallstat Nordid. She doesn't have colonial Mexican ancestry, hence no Amerindian admixture.

I don't get it why someone who is born in Latin America will be always classifed as "Amerindian admixed" despite only being there for 2 or 3 generations, I remember when they also classifed Don Francisco on the Apricity as part Amerindian, when he was born in Chile to two Ashkenazi Jewish immigrant parents, or Ricardo Montalban who was born in Mexico City to two Spanish immigrant parents, just because someone is born in Latin America, doesn't make them Amerindian admixed.x

How Mexico elected her
Same reason why the USA elected Trump, despite having no Old-Stock American ancestry, his mother was a Scottish immigrant, & his father was in New York City to two German immigrant parents, or the reason why Canada elected Carney, who is 100% Irish.

Mexican isn't an ethnicity or race, it's a nationality of many different races & ethnic groups, to be considered Mexican by birth, you either have to be born in Mexican territory, or be born abroad to at least one Mexican-born parent.

Mexico has many Indigenous ethnic groups like the Nahua, Otomi, Purepecha, Huichol, Zapotec, Mixtec, Tarahumara, etc, as well as non-Indigenous ethnic groups, such as the Mennoites, Anglo-American Mormons, Mascogos (Black Seminoles), Chipilo Venetians (Italo-Mexicans from Chipilo, Puebla), Spanish-descended Criollos, Afro-Mexicans, etc.

Also, keep in mind, that Mexico City is basically the Ellis Island of Mexico, & she is from there, & many of the upper-class neighborhoods such as Polanco have large Jewish populations.

Only in the USA, people consider Mexican to a so-called "ethnicity", because many Americans, think that everything south of the Rio Grande are all the same, like the non-Hispanic Caribbean is Black, & the rest is the fictional "Latino/Hispanic" race, nope Latin America is a melting pot of many different peoples, mainly the Native Americans, Europeans, & Sub-Saharan Africans, & a mix of two or three of those.

The Mexican "ethnicity" could refer to the Mexican Mestizos (which could be an ethnic group in its own right), & to a lesser extent Spanish-descended Colonial Criollos, & maybe Hispanicized Indigenous Mexicans (despite only being Hispanicized for one or two generations).
