    And why exactly do you think present day ‘Mayans’ are so mixed?

      They’re not? Based on a study of Guatemalan genetics,

      Analyses of uniparental genetic markers indicate that Maya have a dominant Native American ancestry (mitochondrial DNA [mtDNA]: 100%; Y-chromosome: 94%). ‘Ladino’, however, show a clear gender-bias as indicated by the large European ancestry observed in the Y-chromosome (75%) compared to the mtDNA (0%).

      It’s not being mixed what I’m talking about, I’m talking about being barely native and claiming to be one

      Mixed is what you call “latinos”

        Let me spell it out for you:

        The Mayans are fucking dead

        Straight from the first sentence of Wikipedia:

        The Maya civilization (/ˈmaɪə/) was a Mesoamerican civilization that existed from antiquity to the early modern period.

        Was

        Absolutely zero people are alive today with 100% Mayan ancestry.

          Civilization is not the same thing as a people.

          To also quote Wikipedia,

          A civilization (British English: civilisation) is any complex society characterized by the development of the state, social stratification, urbanization, a currency, and symbolic systems of communication beyond natural spoken language (namely, a writing system).

          To quote a different Wikipedia article

          The Maya (/ˈmaɪə/) are an ethnolinguistic group of indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica. The ancient Maya civilization was formed by members of this group, and today’s Maya are generally descended from people who lived within that historical region. Today they inhabit southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras. “Maya” is a modern collective term for the peoples of the region; however, the term was not historically used by the indigenous populations themselves.

          In short, that sentence doesn’t say what you think it says.

          Gengis Khan is dead too. The Mongol Empire is long gone. He’s known for being ancestor to millions today. Do you understand that part?
