In reality, she is only 4 or 5 years older. But I think part of it is that she served in a caregiver-like capacity for me growing up.

I am 22 and I think she is 26 or 27 now.

Bonus question not related to poll:
But do you think it is ironic that I like girls 4 or 5 years younger than me and see them close in age, because I view my former babysitter as "older" when I am 4 to 5 years older than them?

Before you go and tell me "Mexican is not a race". True but you can't deny that Mexico is very predominantly a Mestizo country. It seems like Mexico tries so hard to white wash their race population and culture, no matter how many times they failed because the world outside of Latin America still sees them as predominantly "brown" people (ignoring the stupid telenovelas). In fact, one of Mexico's past dictators during the late 19th century, Porfirio Diaz, who is racially Mestizo, tried to get all of his servants to powder themselves so the world doesn't think Mexico is an "Indian country" while welcoming White European immigrants (not just from Spain but also from Germany and many other European countries) to Mexico with open arms to "improve their race". What's very ironic is how Mestizos seem to be more racist and more harsh towards the pure Indigenous people in Mexico than the Criollo (Pure White European) Mexicans have.

I guess Mestizos suffer from racial insecurity and identity problems because the "pure" white Europeans still look at them as either "mongrels" or "not white" so they take it out on the socially and politically weaker racial group, the Indigenous/Amerindians.
