Most Hispanic Americans are Mexicans or Central Americans, who are primarily of mixed Amerindian ancestry
The next largest group are people from the Caribbean (puerto ricans, Cubans, and Dominicans), who can be anything from full Spaniard to full black
Only South America has a significant proportion of whites
And even then it’s not every country
I think the census would benefit from including Spanish terms for mixed race
Like mestizo or mulatto
Because when people see options like “mixed” or “two or more races,” they usually think it’s black + white or Hispanic + Asian or something like that
I agree 100% @Norik
And I say all this as an actual white South American living in the US
u not white
I’d say about half the people catalogued in the US as “white hispanic” would not count as white back in Venezuela
I’m of Spanish, Scottish, and Italian ancestry
No indian as far as I know
isnt there a german village in venezuela
suuuure
Yes there was a small German settlement, but it was just one town
Most of today’s white Venezuelans come from Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese immigrants from after the war
i think argentina is like completly white
they utterly destroyed theirblack and amerinidan community
I’d say it’s about 70% white if you only include pure-blooded Europeans
Which funnily enough is still higher than the US these days
plenty of germans,italians and slavs moved into argentina during the 19th-20th century
They’ve had a non-stop flow of Bolivians and Paraguayans for the past 30 ya ads
if your mixed race with a mud blood, u not white u are an abomination
The only actual white country left in this hemisphere is Uruguay
that’s only if you count Spaniards as white, or course
instead of white hispanics just refer them to castizos
Yeah that’s what makes it tricky though
There are a good number of actual whites, and they should be distinguished from castizos
Though the line is blurred in the US since Hispanics mix more readily here than back home
And there’s also a good number of them with like 20% African ancestry but no significant Amerindian component
Especially Cubans and Puerto Ricans
half breeds are always obsessed with classifying the intermediary hybrid races
Well they are different
Though at some point they’re all so mixed it stops mattering
Because eventually the population coalesces into a single mixed gene pool where roughly everyone has the same ratios of each ancestry
Like Americans in the Midwest being roughly 40% British 40% German 20% euro mystery meat
norik would you rather be 100% anglo or 100% spanish
Uhh idk depends on where I live
