LA Times' Column One today recoats the ethnicity picture of Los Angeles Spanish bluebloods. According to various people who have looked into their own genetic pasts, a significant portion of them have black blood. Because the original settlers were a multi-culti clan of Indians, black former slaves, Mestizos and Spaniards.
John Mitchell writes:
More than half of the city's original settlers [have] traced all or part of their heritage to Africa.
As one story subject, Robert Lopez, put it:
The only way I could come from Spain would be on a 747.
Move over, the Jeffersons.
