Most Hispanic Americans are Mexicans or Central Americans, who are primarily of mixed Amerindian ancestry

2020-03-15 20:28:53 UTC  

The next largest group are people from the Caribbean (puerto ricans, Cubans, and Dominicans), who can be anything from full Spaniard to full black

2020-03-15 20:29:16 UTC  

Only South America has a significant proportion of whites

2020-03-15 20:29:22 UTC  

And even then it’s not every country

2020-03-15 20:29:50 UTC  

I think the census would benefit from including Spanish terms for mixed race

2020-03-15 20:29:55 UTC  

Like mestizo or mulatto

2020-03-15 20:30:44 UTC  

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

2020-03-15 20:31:20 UTC  

I agree 100% @Norik

And I say all this as an actual white South American living in the US

2020-03-15 20:32:36 UTC  

I’d say about half the people catalogued in the US as “white hispanic” would not count as white back in Venezuela

2020-03-15 20:33:06 UTC  

I’m of Spanish, Scottish, and Italian ancestry

2020-03-15 20:33:13 UTC  

No indian as far as I know

2020-03-15 20:33:13 UTC  

isnt there a german village in venezuela

2020-03-15 20:33:39 UTC  

Yes there was a small German settlement, but it was just one town

2020-03-15 20:34:02 UTC  

Most of today’s white Venezuelans come from Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese immigrants from after the war

2020-03-15 20:34:13 UTC  

i think argentina is like completly white
they utterly destroyed theirblack and amerinidan community

2020-03-15 20:34:24 UTC  

Argentina is not as white as people think

2020-03-15 20:34:41 UTC  

I’d say it’s about 70% white if you only include pure-blooded Europeans

2020-03-15 20:34:56 UTC  

Which funnily enough is still higher than the US these days

2020-03-15 20:35:12 UTC  

plenty of germans,italians and slavs moved into argentina during the 19th-20th century

2020-03-15 20:35:14 UTC  

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

2020-03-15 20:36:26 UTC  

The only actual white country left in this hemisphere is Uruguay

2020-03-15 20:36:42 UTC  

that’s only if you count Spaniards as white, or course

2020-03-15 20:37:18 UTC  

instead of white hispanics just refer them to castizos

2020-03-15 20:37:31 UTC  

Yeah that’s what makes it tricky though

2020-03-15 20:37:49 UTC  

There are a good number of actual whites, and they should be distinguished from castizos

2020-03-15 20:38:09 UTC  

Though the line is blurred in the US since Hispanics mix more readily here than back home

2020-03-15 20:39:00 UTC  

And there’s also a good number of them with like 20% African ancestry but no significant Amerindian component

2020-03-15 20:39:11 UTC  

Especially Cubans and Puerto Ricans

half breeds are always obsessed with classifying the intermediary hybrid races

2020-03-15 20:40:40 UTC  

Well they are different

2020-03-15 20:41:05 UTC  

Though at some point they’re all so mixed it stops mattering

2020-03-15 20:41:45 UTC  

Because eventually the population coalesces into a single mixed gene pool where roughly everyone has the same ratios of each ancestry

2020-03-15 20:42:12 UTC  

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

2020-03-15 20:42:46 UTC  

Uhh idk depends on where I live
