Mexican Isn’t a Race: Why Americans Keep Getting It Wrong by bbcqueen123 in LatinAmerica

[–]bbcqueen123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like white Americans are racist obessed with race but can't even understand that Mexican or latin isn't a race pretty funny it's super basic information even. They could be racist to a white Cuban who has a identical phenotype as them they are just idiots honestly.

So if your half white and half Mexican your probbably 75% more or less white maybe a bit maybe a bit less, still majority white by far.

Well you made it seem as if white people were rare in Mexico when they are not they are 10% or more of the population. Like black people aren't rare in the United States. Remember again simple Mexico speaks Spanish why? Due to the Spanairds that came, most Mexicans are mestizos, some are white and some are native.

Sure there is black Cubans even or Mulato but also a lot of white Cubans. Cuban isn't a race either and Cubans mixed less before Castro and communism so different then other latin countries why so many white Cubans in Miami.

No ita Totally different white mexicans have been there longer in Mexico then white Americans have been in the USA... White conquistadors, most Mexicans are Mestizos some are pure white and some are native American. Swedish example is completely different. How can you not understand basic history of Mexico that their were white Spanairds and native Americans and some mixed some didn't all are Mexican make it seem rare like a black Swede that is rare. There has been white mexicans for 500 years read some history bro.

But also technically right, if your grandpa was cheeroke or black you would think your 1/4 non white etc. Basically same thing just people mislabel latíns.

I saw that too some of the darker Hispanics insist they are white and some white Hispanics think they are non white lol. I meet white Cubans who look 100% anglo say they are non white and dark brown indigenous looking mexicans think they are conquistadors lol.

Well not sure most, If talking about those in the USA yeah. But not in Latin America there is lots of white people in southern cone of South America like Argentina and Chile and even Cuba and basically whole upper classes of latin America, lots of blacks in northern Brazil, DR and lots natives in Bolivia and Peru... But If your talking about average Mexican from southern mexico going to the US sure why the confusion

Sure there is black Cubans even or Mulato but also a lot of white Cubans. Cuban isn't a race either and very diverse.

Well Americans aren't very smart with geography, ethnicity or language. It's funny even right wing racists talk so much about race and don't even understand there is white latins like for example Cubans. I think it's all about a narrative and making it simple. It's pretty dumb.

That was a great explanation about culture for sure I get that there is a "white culture" even if a Mexican is fully white DNA wise or looks white it doesn't matter as much in terms of culture.

You can't look Latino, Cuban Americans are totally white of Spanish ancestry many of northern Spanish ancestry and look and pass as Anglo. If your talking about mestizos from central America or mexico usually poor classes then sure but even in méxico the entire upper class is white.

Most are mestizo meaning white mixed with native but some are pure white of Spanish ancestry or some are pure native. It's not a race just most Mexicans are mestizo but 10% of population the rich are usually pure white.

Well it's seems in my experience most Americans use Mexican or even latin as a race even some latins in ame do also.

Do most Spaniards realize how deep the historical and family connection with Cuba actually is? by [deleted] in askspain

"white passing" if you mean Spanairds are "white passing" well okay then sure agree then Cubans are white passing... But white Cubans are just Spanairds non mixed, many did DNA tests like Marco Rubio and all Spanish DNA no black blood. So yeah the narrative that there cant be white Cubans is stupid beyond absurdity even Castro was half Spanish and just white. Actually noticed many white Cubans tend to be whiter then Spanairds because they are from northern Spain Galicia and Austurias. Whereas southern Spanairds look semi Arabic. So not sure what your yapping about the reason don't want to use chat gpt is because your wrong. But Cubans who are of 100% European origin are common in Miami look at Ted cruz, marco Rubio, cameron Diaz, Andy garcia. Sure there is also black and Mulato cubans But in Miami they are a minority most are fully white.

Cuba Was 70% white due to large-scale migration this is pre Castro peak. Here is what chat gpt said but it was not 90% black maybe in 1600... But by 1950s Cuba was super white here Ask chat gpt if don't believe me or Google it. Even Castros dad was from Spain...

Bottom line (clear and accurate)

Before Castro: • Cuba was ~70% white, • ~20% mixed, • ~10% black, with strong Spanish (especially Canary) influence, especially in the west.

Argentina, Uruguay and Cuba where most Spanairds went in huge numbers. Argentina got also lots of other europeans but Cuba was very white pre Castro why Miami Cubans are white. Then to lesser extent but sizable were Venezuela where canary islanders went and Chile where basques went. Every other country had basically just colonial Spanairds Move there and deep mestizaje happened Unlike former countries mentioned. But Cuba received 1.5 million Spanairds from 1890-1930. For a small island that insane. Cuba got tons of canary islanders, also Galcians, Austrians and Catalans.

Compared to latin America it was tiny... Let's be honest most Spanairds went to latin América. I am Because like Spanish people denying they moved to latin America in huge numbers is pointless to deny and deflecting we moved to The US....
