For future reference DO NOT EVER QUOTE WIKIPEDIA. Cuba is not 65% white. That is one of the most Africanized countries in the Western Hemishphere. I know of some stupid racists that go to wikipedia and change the articles. That site will never be valid. Not even close. The majority of the people are black or black and white.

Honey, you are wrong. You do not speak for me or others. The majority of Cubans did indeed identify as black or mixed. Hispanic or Latino is really only used in the U.S. So called Latinos identify by their race in Latin America. Such as black, white, native, or mixed. Not Latino, not Hispanic. Quit the b.s. Hispanic means spanish speaking, speaking spanish does not make you any less black, any less white, or any less indian. Just like African Americans do not become Anglo because they speak english. Go learn un-eurocentric history of the Caribean and Latin America and get back at me.
Wat u guys don’t understand the people who live in like pr n cuba don’t really consider them selves black..they consider them selves hispanic I should know im puerto rican….. black people always think if u got brown skin or have a ounce of blk u have 2 b black…get over yur self! She’s hispanic
YOUR RIGHT JESS! HER CUBAN ROOTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO MILIAN. SHES STILL CUBAN AKA LATIN…. BRI HAS IT UPSIDE DOWN! BUT….. YOUR RIGHT ABOUT THE AFRICANS BEING ENSLAVED IN CUBA AND NOT ONLY EUROPE. THE TERM AFRO-CUBAN IS DEFINED AS THE SLAVES BACK THEN GETTING SENT TO CUBA AND HAVING KIDS BORN THERE WHICH DEFINES THEM AS AFRO-CUBAN BABIES ENLARGING THERE POPULATION IN CUBA. OTHERWISE U SHOULD JUST SAY THAT IF YOU WERENT BORN IN CUBA YOUR NOT CUBAN!!!! WRONG……. YES SHE DOES HAVE BLACK IN HER BUT SHE IS STILL CUBAN AKA HISPANIC/LATIN. I SHOULD KNW FOR THE FACT THAT MY LITTLE COUSIN IS AFRO-CUBAN, SPEAKES SPANISH BUT IS PROUD TO SAY SHE KNOWS SHES HISPANIC.
