“In the British colonies the half-breed was looked upon as an Indian, whereas in the French colonies, as generally in all Colonial countries that had the Roman imperial tradition and the Roman Catholic religion, the half-breed was assimilated to the European group. [For Anglo-Saxons] the term “half-breed” was in general a term of contempt. ... [whereas] the use of the word “White” in [the] Spanish-American lands is frequently largely a “courtesy title.”

“The Church of Rome has everywhere used its influence to break down racial distinctions. It disregards origins and only requires obedience to the mandates of the universal church. In that lies the secret of the opposition of Rome to all national movements. It maintains the imperial as contrasted with the nationalistic ideal and in that respect its inheritance is direct from the [Roman] Empire.”
