He was Argentinian and his parents were too. Their parents had Uruguayan acenstry, which ethnically is fundamentally the same as Argentina. Borges was a white latino / latino with more than 50% European blood, as most argies and uruguayans. I'd say he's 75% white and 25% other (probably Native South American)

Portuguese-Spanish-Basque is a coherent mix, if a mix at all. Jewish and Native American were very very distant, weren't they? Basically diluted non-European blood.

Yes and no. Indians and whites are like long separated family. We share some common ancestors but diverged pretty far from each other.

We are very different now genetically and culturally but I wish India a prosperous future may they defeat Pakistan and ensue another 4,000 years of Vedic civilization.

I have a hard time naming a white author I enjoy reading, at least one who wasn't from the middle ages. Asian literature is just objectively better. From the Sumerian and Babylonian epics to Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, the great works of Sanskrit and volumes of Chinese and Arabic poetry. I wish I had time to study it all in depth. 90% European liteature over the last two centuries is extremely overrated garbage with occasional gems. One shelf of manga is worth more than an entire library of Western novels.

The best Pre-Colonial non-white writer I have ever read was Rattan Singh Bhangu's Panth Prakash. 10 years before the Sikh empire fell to the British, the East India Company comissioned a book on Sikh history to learn more about the future opponent.
The result was probably some of the most powerful stuff I've ever read, here's the PDF:
https://gurmatveechar.com/books/English_Books/Sri.Guru.Pracheen.Panth.Parkash.Volume.02.(GurmatVeechar.com).pdf

From the PDF:
"Quatrain: ‘Now the Sikhs must be physically transformed. They must exude power, and inspire fear. They must be given striking names. The form of initiation must sharpen them up.’ 31. This is what the True Guru decided upon and thoughtfully followed it up with action. A knight’s appearance, with long head hair and turban tied on head, would look extremely handsome. 32. Name ‘Singh’ was in the tradition of knights. The respected Guru considered this to be best. In his mind he decided upon initiation of the double-edged sword. ‘This will make the Khalsa determined to prevail.’33. ‘This is how they will acquire kingly habits and every individual in every saddle will aspire to kingship. Reeds must be beaten into steel and the initiation of the double-edged sword will make them habitually hold the double-edged sword.’"

"Couplet: O Sikhs of the Guru! Hear how I answered him: ‘this Panth was not born in secrecy. The panth of Singhs cannot remain hidden. Singh panth was created for the struggle. Singhs took birth armed with weapons.’7. ‘Singhs received initiation of the double-edged sword. It was their first meal. Singhs wear the quoits (charka), miniature knives on their heads how can they remain concealed like those who wear tiger-claws?’8. ‘The perfect Guru created the panth essentially for the struggle. Sovereignty cannot be obtained without resistance. At the very inception, the Guru invoked the method of warfare for the purpose.’"
