That's really interesting, because I have heard that Americans really emphasize their Native American ancestry. It is kind a cool for them to have native blood in them. Maybe for those who live in the South America it is really cool to be of Spanish origin. I don't know, but I think that's really weird.
I think for Europeans it is similar when they have some Jewish ancestry.

Bragging about Spanish ancestry is common here in Brazil, specially for those who are clearly mixed, I think they find themselves more confortable with their european ancestry than with the native or black part..

Most of them are in denial, I've met a very dark woman (but with straight hair and etc..) and she was bragging about her "Portuguese" ancestry, when clearly she doesn't even look like any Portuguese I've met in my life.

Serious stuff..
