This is an interesting question about the whereabouts of "mestisos".
Perhaps they're closer than you think. Of the people of Goan ancestry

Quite frankly I am fed-up of this backlash against those of Goans who are not

Mario asks:
"Backlash"? What "backlash"?

willingly co-habited with them during the period 1510 - 1780 when some ships
