Please, swap Armando and Antonio. My apologies.
I figured he had Latin culture but his family are from Spain. I doubt he has native ancestry.
Obviously.Latin culture of Cuba came from Spain.Do you think that came from blacks and indigenous?
He’s mestizo. Cubans have 8% Native American in them.
Mestizo means 50/50 not 8% out of 100 LMFAO.
