An amateur estimate of Sephardic admixture in Latin America

Argiedude's number, derived through comparison of the frequency of Y haplogroups J1 and J2 in Latin America to those in Spain, looks reasonable (much more so than some retarded estimates for Jewish and Muslim admixture in Spain that made it into AJHG):
Latin American y-dna (Mexico, Central America, Colombia)
sub-Saharan..........5%
American.............21%
Spanish...............66%
Sephardic..............8%

I remember when I was going to grad school in Wash DC over a decade ago, and knew someone who worked for one of the main, heavy trafficked branches of Federal Express in the capital, and he told me that so, so many "Latinos" who were sending packages overnight to "Latin" America almost (or nearly) always had names like 'Arturo Heiman' or 'Jose Shapiro'.

I remember as well, come to think of it, that in so many 'international organizations' down in DC that had a lot of "Latinos" working there had very similar names to what I said about my friend's experiences with Fed Ex above.

A person with a name like "Jose Shapiro" would not be a Sephardic Jew. A few Jews from Eastern Europe migrated to Central America around the time of WW II but their haplogroups would not even register in DNA studies of a few thousand individuals. Last February, a Jew named Luis Fishman ran for the presidency of Costa Rica but lost to a female candidate.

True, but no need to nitpick -- I think both you and the other readers get the gist of what I am trying to convey -- that of the fact that there is more Jews in "Latin" America than the common American is aware of.

Most people aren't aware of much past their immediate needs.

Likewise there are more Jews and especially mischlings (and to a greater extent West Asian ancestry) in America and other White nations than people are aware of. Europeans especially are incredibly naive and scoff at the idea, rather they enjoy hating Americans, and American anti-Semitism is just another example of how inferior Americans are to the snobbish Euros.

Even within White nationalism you have this. It's disturbing, even more so that the same "White nationalists" that are so rabidly anti-Semitic on one hand, will defend their mischling friends on the other. Some are even intimately involved with a Jew or mischling. What does this say about them? That they are really frauds and irrational fools who only care about their own selfish desires without regard for truth or higher purpose.

Frankly I've never seen a more mentally ill mishmash of people than among "White nationalists."

If you wonder why White nationalism can't get traction just look at the people involved.

True, however all the "normal" people are too busy either sniffing negro jockstraps as they wallow away the weekends, watching American Idol or a variation of it, or attempt to be the perfect PC idiot spouting all the nonsense so no one confuses them for being racist. That and treading the hamster wheel of life so they too can afford to buy all the inconsequential goodies.
