Consuelo T Chavez

Watching GMA as I do every morning and something hit me right between the eyes! Not all people of Hispanic / Spanish descent are varying shades of brown, some of us are as white as some Europeans! I noticed the reporter was comparing the number of persons of Spanish descent who have mental health problems to "whites"! My ancestors came to New Mexico in the late 1500s! Most of them were from Northern Spain and therefore very fair skinned. Unlike those in central Spain and point South whose ancestry includes Muslims from Northern Africa. These folk are blessed with varying tones of skin color that's certainly make them look a lot healthier than my Spanish ancestors! Please be careful GMA when using labels to describe people!

I love that Mark Consuelos will join Kelly. Most excited because my name us Consuelo! It is popular Spanish name. It is not a noun. In Spanish it is a title of Our Blessed Mother...Our Lady of Consolation, In Spanish..Nuestra Senora de Consuelo! For Mark he is one who consoles....the console................"" " Consuelos"
