First, don't worry about the germs, the ancient spaniards already carried all our germs and killed a bunch of natives, don't worry, it was not your fault.

de facto until the last 50 years of past century...I am talking about the XX one
The crossing of races in Spanish America is an historical fact, the mixed weddings were really common, in North america...well...uh...Jimi Hendrix?, anibody more?
