Paz sure does not look like a typical Mexican


And the girl who played her daughter sure did not look anything like her.

Do you think that the reason she doesn't look like a Mexican is because she is a Spaniard?

Paz may not look like a stereotypical Mexican with indigenous facial features, but I know many that do look like her. If you're talking about her skin color, pale skin is common among Mexicans.

They look pretty similar. "sure did not look anything like" is a hyperbole in the least and a straight-up lie at most
