      All cubans are of European descent since we were colonized by Spain in 1492 and all indians disappear after the massacre and were later replaced by african slaves so most are mixed the indian blood is almost washed out but we are from Spain, France and Africa I look white but I am proud to say that I am Cuban and I speak both languages, my husband is Cuban and has green eyes and is very white and freaks ignorant people out when he speaks Spanish because those people only associate hispanics with dark skinned

          I don’t think she meant all Cubans were white, I think she meant all had some European blood in them even if minimal. I won’t say all do but the majority of Cubans do have Cuban blood, but remember slaves still came to Cuba two centuries ago so it’s not hard to believe there are many afro cubans who have no European blood, even if a small minority. Also there are some who are fully East Asian or Caucasian but not European like Lebanese or Syrian.

          Yes, some Cubans do have an Indigenous mix to them that’s apparent in their features, mostly in the east side of the island, but again they’re a very small minority. Most mixed Cubans are Euro/African mixed.

          • anon says:

            Lebanon and Syria are not in European and therefore Lebanese and Syrians are not European. I can’t believe you can totally mess that up and then try to teach someone else about Cubans.

            @anon
            He said “Caucasian [includes fully East Asian and North Africans] but not European.”
            Just re-read what he wrote -___- he is not wrong.
