I will not assume your ethnicity by your name. What is your ethnicity if you don't mind me asking? You are very knowledgeable and you don't find many in the states who are intellectually inclined. You are correct in your statements. Hispanic/latino is not a race or ethnic group and they are simply mixed ethnic people. I was explaining something similar to an Anglo-American previously because he assumes all latinas/hispanics are "white". I explained to him that "white" hispanics are mainly mixed people of Native American, German, Spanish, and/or Portuguese heritage. Correct me if I am wrong. I am not hispanic fyi. And that "black" hispanics are mainly of West African, Native American, Spanish, German, and/or Portuguese heritage. I am Louisiana Creole, father being of African, French, and Native American mix as well as Scottish all on his mother's side. So it's fairly close I'd say to how one can explain the hispanic/latino group. Mariposa, I’ve seen quite a few of your comments across this site and I must say….very impressed.

Because no one can make such a statement, not even she herself. No one knows their complete genetic make-up without dna admixture tests. Someone saying she MAY be of African descent is not the same as saying she's black. Why do so many people that speak english very poor at comprehension? If they were one in the same, then many White Americans, and most Latin Americans would be Black. Many people in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic acknowledge African ancestry but don't call themselves black. Are you asking a question, or making a statement?

Mexico actually received more slaves than I believe any other Spanish speaking country in the Western Hemisphere. People who are 25% black usually don't look black, let alone 5%. People who are hateful and in denial confuse you saying there are blacks there, for everyone there is black. Further proof that they're dumb. I would say that most Mexican Americans that I've come accross don't know about African history in Latin America. It's interesting because, I have met many families that have a member or two that have visible ancestry that aren't mixed with African American. The average Mexican has 5% African ancestry.
