Game, I dont know where you're comin from here. #1 majority of cubans and PR's look black? Who said? Yeah, there are some, but the majority I don't think so. And as for people in Puerto Rico that are majority Indian, not true. Very few people In or from PR have traceable indian blood. only half of puerto ricans have any at all, and of that half, none even have 10% indian blood in them. Unfortunately the indians all died out before they could really be introduced into the blood stream and get their genes in there. within just a few years after the spanish arrived, there were only a couple hundred of them left, and the rest died out soon after. PR's are black, german, irish, spanish, and a couple other assorted types of europeans, with a little tiny sprinkle of american indian. The 2 most prevalent lines in PR blood are African and Irish.

YUP TRUE PRZ JUST ACTING THEY SELVES......ALL LATINOS IS A MIX OF INDIAN, WHITE AND BLACK. EVERYONE'S FAMILY IS DIFFERENT MIX JUST LOOK AT GUTI ESPADAS HE FROM YUCATAN IN MEXICO AND HE BLACK AS A MOFO TRUE THAT A GOOD MAJORITY OF P.R'S AND DOMINICAN, CUBANOS LOOK LIKE BLACKS BUT IN P.R. WE GOT JIBAROS P.R'S MOSTLY OF INDIAN DESCENT.

JIBAROS...I DIDNT SAY ALL OF PR IS MOSTLY INDIANS I SAID THE JIBAROS ARE MOSTLY OF INDIAN DESCENT HOMIE

[myDick in your mouth]

Panik you are wrong about only a sprinkle of Indian blood....if you know what PR's look like you can see PR's that are mulattos and PR's that have a majority of white blood ....and guess what..... you can see PR's that have a majority of Indian blood too!!!!!

[Panik]

Actually new yorker, I get this from my physical anthropology class in college. They said that it is a fact that only about half of Puerto Ricans have any indian blood at all. And of that half, NOT ONE Puerto Rican had more than 10% indian in them. The indian has very little if anything at all to do with the Puerto Rican genes. They are mainly black and european. Not only has this been proved by DNA, but also the spaniards than originally colonized the island said even themselves that after just a couple years on the island, there were less than 300 natives left alive. that 300 then mixed with thousands and thousands of slaves, and even more irish, germans, and spaniards. the indian blood is just a drop ion the bucket.

[Panik]

oh, and also, there might be something on the national geographic site too. They had a story about the same thing not too long ago. I had to show it to my girl to stop all that taino talk from her family. they're all straight puerto ricans and used to swear that they were mostly indian.

YOUR ON POINT BROTHA....PR'S ARE MOSTLY A MIX OF SPANIARDS AND AFRICANS....SOME RARELY HAVE INDIAN BLOOD...THATS WHY YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEXICAN AND P'RS AND ALSO U CAN TELL BY THEIR HAIR...P'RS HAVE NICE SOFT CURLY HAIR..AND SOME HAVE NAPS WHILE MEXICANS HAVE NICE STRAIGHT HAIR. LIKE ME IM DOMINICAN\ECUADORIAN BY MY ACCENT U CAN TELL I HAVE SOME DOMINICAN IN ME BUT IF YOU DIDNT TALK TO ME U WOULD THINK IM ECUADORIAN OR FROM SOME SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRY...

[NYorker]

Panik,
I respect what you learned in your anthropology class....peace. But if you look at physical characteristics of a broad spectrum of Puerto ricans you can see ones that have:
1: african traits
2:mulatto traits
3:mestizo traits
4:european traits
4:(the best) a mixture of all of the above
I am glad you are doing good things Panik, peace

* The mix has occurred all over Latin America. There has been black influence in Mexico, Central and South American, and the Carribean. Some people might not accept it, but the Spaniards DID bring black slaves into Mexico. They mostly live in Veracruz and Ozaxaca now, and they still exist these days. There are also black communities in areas where black Carribean peoples immigrated to years and years ago while looking for work in Mexico. However, most of the blacks in Mexico has been abosorbed into the major blood stream (Mestizo). Mexicans are a mix of blood. Native American, Spanish, Moor (BLACK Arab), and depending on certain areas different types of white. You know that music they call banda in Mexico. You know Germans influenced it? It's like that in different areas. Different Europeans immigrated there. Lots of Jewish influence in Mexico City.

* Brazilians are NOT Hispanics, but are Latinos. Potuguese people are considered Latinos and not Hispanics too, but I guess some people would consider them Hispanic since they were originally part of Spain.

* Belizians I'm not sure. Belize used to be a part of Honduras, and Honduras used to be Mexico I think, so maybe.

[MEXICAN_RAZA_PRIDE831]

PUERTO RIQUENOS AND SALVADORENOS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE A LOT OF BEEF WITH OUR MEXICAN RAZA. SO, IN PLACES WHERE THEY AIN'T THAT BIG IN NUMBERS, LIKE NOR CALI, THEY'LL JOIN NORTE BEFORE JOININ SUR. IT IS WELL KNOWN BY MANY THAT NORTE IS ANTAGONISTIC TO PPL THAT COME FROM MEXICO, SO THEY ALLIGN THEMSELVES UNDER THAT SORT OF THING AND SAY STUFF LIKE "YEAH, I'M NORTENO CUZ I HATE STUPID MEXICAN MOJADOS (WETBACKS)". AND THEY WONDER WHY MEXICANS DON'T LIKE THEM THAT MUCH... THERE'S A MARA SALVATRUCHA 13 GANG IN SAN FRAN, THOUGH, AND I THINK THEY AIGHT WITH OTHER SURENOS DESPITE THEM BEIN MEXICAN... PEACE...

[rumble2005]

surenos dont be calling eachother names like wetback and others..pfft come on man....look what surenos were doing to raza in the pinta before NF ever came about....they were doing alot more than just calling our gente names....everyone knows about the history now and ur trying to twist everything around.......

[Green Eyez]

i kno lots of belizens and they usually say there black & hispanic

[MEXICAN_RAZA_PRIDE831]

TRUE, LA EME WAS HOSTILE TO MEXICANOS/CHICANOS FROM NOR CALI, BUT C'MMON, IN JAIL, DO U JOIN A GANG CUZ UR ALL "YEAH, THESE GUYS ARE REALLY FUNNY" OR "THESE GUYS ARE REALLY NICE"??? LOL LOL LOL... EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IN JAIL, AND ESPECIALLY IN THOSE TYMES, U HAD TO BE IN A CERTAIN GANG OR ELSE U WERE GONNA BE ONE OF TWO THINGS: DEAD OR EVERYBODY'S SEX TOY. SO PPL WOULD JOIN A GANG CUZ THERE WAS JUS SO MUCH INTIMIDATION AND INHOUSE KILLINGS IN THOSE TIMES. BEIN INTIMIDATED WAS SENDIN A MESSAGE LIKE: "U BETTER NOT FUNK WITH US. IF U JOIN US, U BETTER BE DOWN, CUZ IT'S A WAR ZONE OUT HERE." AND U AIN'T RESPECTED UNTIL U GIVE RESPECT AND KNOW HOW TO EARN UR OWN RESPECT, CIERTO? AIN'T NO LOVEY DOVEY ATMOSPHERE IN JAIL OR the CALLES, HOMIE. SO the NORTHERN CHICANOS/MEXICANOS, INSTEAD OF JOININ EME, WANTED TO START THEIR OWN THING. THEY USED IT AS A REASON, EXCUSE, WHATEVER U WANNA CALL IT, TO DO THEIR OWN THING. IT'S KINDA LIKE the SAME CASE WITH EL SINDICATO TEJANO, MARA SALVATRUCHA, ETC. I MEAN COULD U IMAGINE IF ALL the NORTHERN CHICANOS WOULD OF JOINED EME, IF NATIONWIDE ALL the MEXICANOS AND OTHER LATINOS OPERATED UNDER the SAME THING??? DAYUM!!! TALK ABOUT POWER!!! DO U KNOW ABOUT the SHOE THEORY??? HIT ME UP IF U KNOW IT... WE'LL CONTINUE THIS TALK BUT FIRST I WANNA SEE U DROP SOME KNOWLEDGE FOR A FIRST TIME AND NOT SAY ANYTHIN DUMB, HOMIE... SHOES...

BRAZILIANS AREN'T HISPANIC THEY DON'T EVEN SPEAK SPANISH MY MOM IS BRAZILIAN AND THEY ARE BLAcK JUST LIKE WE WERE BROUGHT OF HERE IN SLAVE SHIPS SO WERE THEY. YOU GOT SOME THAT ARE BLAcK/PORTUGUESE THOUGH.

[rumble2005]

Brazil is a portuguese country spelt Brasil....they are mixed like we are here in america .....they got the whites,blacks,browns, several different races, etc......The rappers there are crazy...they have to cover up their face and all coz the government their will kill them on the spot....i seen them in a interview, they're constantly on the run....Very harsh on how they (governement) do things in Brasil....

Nah, hispanic and latino can differ. Anyone of "Latin" descent can claim Latino technically. This goes for French, Italians, Portuguese, Spaniards, and Latin Americans. Also, Hispanic and Latino isn't a race. It isn't even really a culture. They're just people that have had Hispanic or Latin influence on their culture. I know hispanics that are full Asian, mestizo, white, and mulatto. Every Latin country is distinct. The ones that are the closest are Mexico and Central American countries (in culture). Both have similar Indigenos and used to all be part of Mexico. Part of Anahuac.

[100]

HISPANIC AND LATINO ARE INTERCHANGEABLE

BRASILIANS ARE NOT HISPANIC THEY ARE LATINO
THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF PEOPLE IN BRASIL

MAINLY EUROPEANS, AMERICAN INDIANS, ASIANS, AFRICANS, MIDDLEASTERNS AND THEY HAVE LABELS LIKE PRETO, MULLATO, MORENA(WHICH IN BRASIL MEANS DARK EYED OR BLACK HAIR)
AND PARDO WHICH SATNDS FOR BROWN AND BRANCO(WHITE)

IF FRENCH PEOPLE ARE LATINOS THEN HAITIANS WOULD ALSO FIT IN THAT BOAT BUT FRANCE AINT A LATINO COUNTRY. THAT OLD WORD LATIN HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LATINO OF TODAY.

PORTUGUESE PPL ARE NOT LATINOS!

PUERTO RICANS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MEXICANS EXCEPT SPEAKING SPANISH THE MUSIC ROOTS ARE DIFFERENT LIKE SALSA, PLENA AND MAMBO MERENGUE ARE BASICALLY AFRICAN RYTHMS SANG IN SPANISH.......

MAMBO/SON
SAMBA:Samba
The sound most closely associated with Carnival is the samba. The dance is unique to Brazil and everyone knows it. Samba is a mix of Angolan samba, European polka, African batuques, with touches of Cuban habanera and other styles. The current style is a result of the arrival of black Brazilians following the abolition of slavery in Brazil in 1888.


SALSA
MERENGUE
CUMBIA
BACHATA(I THINK)
REGGAETON( DECENDS FROM JAMAICAN DANCEHALL)


OVERALL I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH A PR LOOK LIKE A BLACK PERSON THEY AINT BLACK THEY PUERTO RICAN WITH WESTERN AFRICAN, EUROPEAN AND TAINO ANCESTRY OR JUST WHATEVA. PR AND AFRICAN AMERICANS SHARE SOME TRIAITS BUT THE CUTURE/MUSIC/FOOD IS STILL DIFFERENT. THATS LIKE SAYING BAHAMIANS, JAMAICANS, HAITIANS ARE CULTURALLY THE SAME AS AMERICAN BLACKS, RACIALLY YEAH BUT ANYTHING ELSE NO!

SOME MEXICANS KNOW THEY HAVE W. AFRICAN IN THEM BUT THE NUMBERS ARE LOW MEXICANS ARE MAINLY MEZTIZO AND SOME EUROPEAN OR AMERICAN INDIAN


BELIZEANS: ENCOUNTED ALOT OF AFRO-MEXICANS WHO MIGRRATED TO BELIZE THERE IS A PEOPLE CALLED THE GARIFUNA.
LATINO AND HISPANIC ARE NOT A RACE BUT CULTURAL JUST LIKE WEST INDIANS IS, AS SUCH JAMAICANS, TRINI AND TOBAGOANS, GRENADINES, ST KITTS AND OTHER NON SPANISH SPEAKING ISLANDS REFER THEMSELVES AS SUCH.

GO ON MIGENTE.COM AND ASK ANYONE ARE MEXICANS AND PUERTO RICANS THE SAME AND THEY WILL SAY NO.


AND FOR SOMEONE TO SAY MULLATOS ARE MAJORITY OF WHITE BLOOD YOU ARE WRONG CAUSE MULLATOS CAN LOOK LILY WHITE TO THE STEREOTYPICAL BLACK PERSON LIVING ON STEREOTYPES WILL GEET YOU NOWHERE

[Panik]

actaully portugese people are latino. Anyone from a country whos language originated with latin is latino. The portugese language is based in latin.

And as for mulattos, teah, technically all it means is a person that is mixed white and black. They could look like either, or anything in between.

[100]

SO ARE HAITIANS LATINO THEY SPEAK FRENCH THERE ARE SOME OTHER WESTINDIAN ISLANDS OR BLACK CARIBBEEANS THAT SPEAK FRENCH ARE THEY LATINO TOO I DON'T THINK THATS WHAT LATINO MEAN


HOLLA
