    i know he looks just black but many afro panamanians have native in them due to them arriving to panama many hundred years ago there’s this mix called zambo which is basically a mix between african and native youll find them in many countries in central america. afro panamanians have been in panama for around 500 years so its very possible he has maybe 15%-20% native either way we couldnt tell get an african that has a native american grandmother he’d look just black his eyes might be a bit small but youll find africans like Ghanaian that have small eyes
