I understand, I got the "Wilson doesn't sound Mexican/Latino/Hispanic"
or
"You don't look Mexican" thing a lot growing up in Los Angeles,
California, and
having Mexican Tia and cousins - but Aniba is a Spanish surname. My
Mom was
Spanish/Scots/Dutch/German-Jew mix, mostly Spanish. Maybe if I had my
father's swarthy skin tones (Cherokee-Irish-French) I wouldn't have
heard it so
much. Frits with a "S" - Dutch. I'll try and keep that in mind. And
not typo
the close-by "z" when I reach for an "s".
