The ironic thing is that Latin Americans are largely descended from people who left one continent and set up a new life literally a continent away. Like, your ancestors were the kind of people to sail thousands of miles to create a new life.

Right, and then we put down roots. People move. some of the people who stetted their have moved on again, but a core remains with roots. Maybe those people will all move away, but I doubt it - humans still live in Africa.

More that they described it as "very foreign" when it literally is not. The people who didn't live in Spain and Portugal!

I mean, can't we say that about basically everyone except the people in the African plains/the fertile crescent? The whole species is descended at some point from people who moved away from where they were born
