BABY CHILD, all Europe is white. People from southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, France) have a darker skin tone than those of northern Europe because they were invaded by the Romans (Latins). But after the Roman invasions there came the barbarian invasions (celtics, germans, norwegians ect.) so thats why a lot of people in southern Europe have blue eyes and light hair.
completely wronge, the spanish and portugese, (the darker ones) have ither moor,arab,gypsy or jewish blood. italy has a lot of arab blood. Just look at their loactions right next to the black, and arab worlds.
Her (irish) light eyes color is stunning.. (maybe because of her dark skin.. i guess on a white person it wouldn’t have that effect.. but anyways)
Everyone is always complaining about Wiki info. There are references listed at the bottom but no one bothers to read them. Many DNA studies are done in Latin America now. Just read the references.
Why are we always talking about Spanish, Hispanics and everything else on black people’s profiles. Black people could care less what their background is. You have to go by what the person considers themselves. Just because you Rafael, NO!, and a few other considers yourself white and want everyone else to acknowledge their whiteness, does not mean we consider ourselves that. Rihanna considers herself black. So lay off of her.
Hey, it’s time to play my favorite game demographics. This is what people declare out of their own mouths on the census. (I’m only going to list the main Race unless close) Argentina 86.4% European (White) Bolivia 55% Native American (First Nation) Chile 52.7% European and 44% Native/European mixed (Mestizo) (one study) Colombia (Doesn’t record ethnicity except for minority status. 58% Mestizo Ecuador 65% Mestizo Costa Rica is 94% White and Mestizo (Not making this up lol) Cuba Cuban Americans Studies say 62% Black and Cuban Census says 65% White (Guess we’ll have to go there one day lol) Dominican Republic 73% Multiracial El Salvador 90% Mestizo Equatorial Guinea 80% African Guatemala 59% Mestizo Honduras 85% Mestizo or White (Yeah I know lol) Mexico 58.96% European and 35.05 Asian (Native American) (LOL that one) Nicaragua 69% Mestizo Panama 50.1 Mestizo and 22% Afro Panamanians and Mixed Race (I refuse to use their words)Paraguay (does not include the concepts of race and ethnicity in census surveys) 74.5% (See now we’re in other countries doing these things lol) Peru Multiethnic with the majority Native American (Good for you!) Puerto Rico They identify as White and few identify as Black or any other Race but 52% are of Native American ancestry Spain 88% Spaniards (Which I investigated further means of Greek or Roman ancestry) (No comment other than they are of European /European decent) Uruguay 95.4% White Venezuela 50% Mestizo or White and 29% Middle Eastern and White
Information found on wikipedia.org
look under afro latino on wikipedia they have some interesting demographics there!! The farther south you go in South America the white it gets but other than that south america is like brazil- pretty mixed and a lot of full blood africans or africans that mixed with the natives of the country.
Ms know it all
Hey, it took too much time to know all this I’ll stay stupid next time lol.
??? Rafael a lot of the stuff I found on Wikipedia can be backed up by other sources, so give it a rest, yes there may be untrue things on there but when it comes to culture or science a lot of things -pan out to be true.
midnight,you know wikipedia is not reliable,right?52 percent native americans in puerto rico? where the natives died out 10 years after the spanish.interesting but i call bull. now if you said african that would at least be plausible.
Rafael get real u think the smartest bitch but u ain’t ok so shut da hell up
Hey, i don’t believe that a race of people can die that fast. You see how long it took for George’s family to produce him at 4% Black so what makes you think all Natives are gone when it’s taken 400 years for the Black race to get water down in a Mexican Family? Incidentally he’s 32% Native american so where has it really gone. yeah sometimes Wikipedia can be fullof it but this time I believe them because they say in some parts of the Spanish-Speaking world tht Race is subjective. (Especially in Cuba lol) I didn’t say they had to truely be 52% but 52% claim it. Now that we have DNA test we can take better census reports. I wonder when it will come to that or if it will.
