    If the alternative for a 3rd PG is Jeter......suddenly some skunk loving doesn't look out of the question!

    Point one: supposedly Watson is going to Indy.

    Point two: Mexico is a COUNTRY not a RACE or ETHNICITY. Mind blowing as it might seem, there are whiter than white native-born Mexicans! Incredible, isn't it? And there are actually BLACK MEXICANS! Presumably what people mean when they say that somebody "looks" Mexican is that they have Native American ancestry as a large number of people throughout both North and South America have.

    Oh, and Race is a social construction that doesn't map on to anything in biological reality. But let's not get into that.

    If I'm not mistaken, Watson IS part Mexican.

    you are correct.. Watson is half mexican like us HCP! That would explain the similarities in physical features. Thanks SheedSoNasty.

    It's a social construct. That you were able to "recognize" him as a member of a "race" is because you've been brainwashed by society.

    Or something.
