The population of the barrio of Buenos Aires where spent my formative years was mostly immigrant Spanish and Italian. The Spanish boys were practicing Catholics, they went to church and followed a moral code. The Italians were less formal and more loose. The owner of the house we rented, Mr Emilio Arutti, was a peasant from Andalucia, he was very mild and decent, I loved him. They were a loving, harmonious family, while my home was a nest of high-strung  immigrants always fighting and shouting.  His only daughter was unmarried and ten years older than me. We were alone in many opportunities and she was open and friendly, and I was a stupid boy. I left home at 16 and was virgin till an enterprising woman took me to bed and sat on me. 

Well, the Spanish people seem to be disappearing. A quarter of the births if by foreign mothers, meaning that a serious change is going on. 8 births per 1000, that is, an increasingly negative growth. While in Denmark, Germany and mostly in the USA there is an active internet debate about this very same issue, in Spain there is none. They seem resigned to this reality. It is not that the Spanish are less race-aware than other Western peoples, they instituted the Limpieza de Sangre laws in 1500 and closed down their society for five hundred years. No Jews live in Spain since 1492, so no one can accuse us of being the cause of their demise. The table is from INE, the Spanish Statistical Institute. The statue represents a Spanish adventurer, Francisco Pizarro, a bastard from Extremadura, whose small but vigorous band visited the Inca sanctuary of Pachacamac and deflowered all the Virgenes del Sol.
