What is Harnizo?
{{no sources|date=August 2020}} '''Harnizo''' (har-NEE-so) is a Spanish term for a person who is around 2/3 [[Spaniards|Spanish]] and 1/3 [[Native American]] ancestry. Harnizos are mostly found in Northern and Western Mexico, [[Costa Rica]], Chile, [[Brazil]] as well as [[Mexican American]] population in the [[Southwestern United States]]. Harnizos usually have more European traits, but with obvious Native American traits, Harnizos usually have a mixed pigmentation, much like Mestizos, but with more Spanish traits, Harnizos can be confused for Mestizos sometimes. Famous Harnizos include [[Jay Hernandez]], [[Felipe Calderon]], and [[Hugo Sanchez]], it's unknown whether they are genetically Harnizo, but based on their phenotype, they appear to be. {{North-America-stub}} [[Category:Native Americans]] [[Category:Spanish people| ]] [[Category:Ethnic groups]] [[Category:Spanish language]]
