About 95% of argentina is considered white, and they are a South American country, mestizos are made of white and native american but in my parents country they are considered white…and it makes sense, a lot of “white” american people have some native american in them, just like many hispanics and latinos, they only difference is the america they are in (north, central, and south america).
People from spain are white, and SPANISH, A lot (but not all) people from central and south america are white and HISPANIC/ LATINO…but keep this in mind..many people from italy consider themselves Latinos (because our language is derived from latino)….so I’m guessing Spanish, french, portuguese, and other people from those latin derived countries consider themselves latino..
Latin america is just like the U.S.( Just becuase your cuban or mexican or a from the U.S. Does not mean you are white..there ARE black americans..black mexicans..white americans…white mexicans…and there are mutliracial people….Most SPanish people(spain) are white..but there are black spaniards..black british…black italians…etc.
The place you are born DOES NOT determine your race.
BUT countries are profiled by the LARGEST GROUP of race there…so all european countries are WHITE…most of africa is BLACk…latin american is mostly WHITE…(But just because they are profiled that way..like I said does NOT mean other races do not live there)
So who ever said thay Spanish people aren’t white…you’re stupid.
Who ever said SPANISH people are from spain..you are an intelligent being…
And a word of advice to you all…do not open your mouth unless you know what you are talking about. Okay? Thanks. :)
why is this under rihannas page?
@total123 bebers north africans are not white in europe were i am from north africans are not white but africans europeans should know what is white people originated from europe , what is going on here why in america north africans are white even the dark skin black north africans but in europe they are not ehite but africans? are americans trying to claim the north african civilization as their own? my history teacher in spain told me that the moors who colonized spain were black skin very dark people and that many spaniards are mixed with moors i am also part north african berber and egyptian arab i am multiracial.
To ena
What’s happening is people are told,that North Africans are Caucasian ,which really does mislead people;they don’t know that Black people also come in that phenotype.Also people hear the word Arab,and right away think the whitish looking ones;they don’t know Arabs range from whitish to black.Also your teacher was right.
Its strange how you talk about welfare checks as if blacks collect more welfare than whites. Whites receive welfare much more than blacks sir. We’re in a recession and there are over 200,000,000 white people in this nation as opposed to the 40,000,000 black people in this nation. How could blacks possibly receive welfare more than whites?
If violence is in ones nature then tell me; What race has pillaged, tortured, raped, beaten, and killed people to psychologically break down whole races of people more than any race throughout history?
If anything violence is and has been more prevalent in the “white race.”
So white men don’t beat their women?There are a bunch of white women that would say otherwise.The two thing you said that I agreed with were that Rihanna is attractive and Chris Brown is a fucking idiot.
i love rihanna she so pretty <3
