The Solutrean theory is interesting. I've read about native accounts and have even talked to members of native tribes who told me that they have legends about White people already being in North America when their ancestors arrived. The idea that there was some ancient conflict between the two groups and the Whites lost or miscegenated would explain some things.
For one thing "Indians" look only vaguely Asian to me. Many of them have strong European features, and I'm talking about old photographs from the 1800's here. It was well known back then that the Cherokee, for instance, were often difficult to discern from swarthier Europeans like Spaniards or Italians. Gussy them up in western garb and hairstyles and many of them could pass.
Then there were the Mandan Indians in the Midwest who spoke a language so similar to Welsh that Welshmen could understand them. Also, there were many reports in those days of frontiersmen making contact with tribes who looked very European and occasionally even had fair hair and blue or green eyes.
The history of North America is much more complex and fascinating than we've been taught.

Texas history is really short and easy to understand if you're mildly interested.
Short version, we did not fully kick out the Spanish. While I know people will disagree with me, I fully believe there's something to the "Five Civilized Tribes" thing, and personally think it has something to do with higher Solutrean admixture making it easier to assimilate. There's also this idea floated around that some Aztecs did flee into Texas, so some tejano women have that physique the Spaniards lusted after.
As I was saying in another post about this link that @zeke confirmed. This woman dancing? There's a significant chance she have the surname "Flores" or "Gonzales." As we discussed, it's a dying breed. They're being subsumed by the migrating Chicanos because they don't have their own ethnic movement, and have been for 50 years. I think that chance is gone for them, but you never know.

@Svantovit Are they native non-mixed Spanish from Texas? Is that a thing? I assumed they were forced to leave after the US took over that land.

@Svantovit I thought she wasn't too goblina, especially being Mexican. You must've dated straight up Spanish women.

Tejano women, man. High caste. :0110: They're going extinct, since they've been convinced they're exactly the same as Mexicans and are being absorbed into that culture, rather than holding onto their identity.

See...I've never dated a latina THIS goblina.

A Mexican woman does a video about how Buenos Aires blew her mind: there are designated bus stops depending on which line the bus belongs to.
I thought this was universal.
She says in Mexico City all buses will stop in the same bus stop. That's madness. Not even in pre-Roman times did all buses stop at the same place.
And as she explains, she's standing on the wrong stop and gets to watch the bus she actually needed to take drive by because there was no one at the stop waiting for it. :pepe_feelsweird:
Video in Spanish. 👇
