Appearances do not determine race. This is a faulty test. Without knowing the cultural background of these "blended" people, it is just guesswork to determine what they consider themselves to be. Hispanic/Latino is not a race, it is a cultural category. Most Mexican-Americans are primarily descendants of American Indians. Race is primarily a social/cultural construct in the U.S. and not a scientific one.
