In Bolivia, Hijo de cura. (which means "Son of a priest") is an expression used to describe someone whose physiognomy has both indigenous and European traits. This expression, that is normalized in the country, refers to a long cultural and religious occupation, as well as evoking the miscegenation that took place throughout the years.
