[@joaokowalski9736]

Some of the things you said are a bit odd, but people need to realize genetic averages are just that. If you were to average Americans they would come out as a mix too, so average racially diverse people in Latin America is odd. Even among whites there are white people who are 100% European and than those with admixture, sometimes the admixture can still be high but they look white so they are white and this distorts the average IMO. For example my family are 100% Eastern European but we've been in Latin America for 3 generations.

[@awreckedislethisfunction7748]

Good video. Just some thoughts: For some reason when you were talking about Argentina you really tried to emphasize that the reason why they received so much European immigrants was because the Pampas and surrounding regions' temperatures were "milder". While that is true to an extent, it really wasn't the deciding factor of European immigration. Many Europeans immigrated to Brazil and Cuba, countries that are (mostly) tropical, and countries that have mild temperatures like Argentina like Peru, Ecuador, Chile and Bolivia (the last two are actually "colder" than Argentina) received little to no European immigration. Temperature wasn't that important: jobs and economic opportunities were.

In Mexico, being indigenous is a cultural issue rather than genetics. There are also different classifications of mestizos, indo-mestizos, mestizos, harnizo or euro-mestizo and castiso. A person with a percentage of 75% indigenous and 25% European would be Indo-mestizo.

This is only surprising from a North American perspective where racism is so prevalent and overt that interracial marriages are seen as taboo. In Brazil, for instance, nobody bats an eye when they see an interracial couple. My father is mulato, my mother is white and I’m pardo, then my wife is a white European and my son has a white skin and blonde hair, but it’s thick and wavy instead of thin and straight… just another Brazilian family. When all the relatives get together, it’s a representation of the whole world’s ethnicities there, mostly white, but with pardos, blacks, mulatos, Asians and even middle eastern people and we all share the same Brazilian identity, which I think is very cool and you won’t see that anywhere else in the world, even the US that claims to be a melting pot.

In Latin America race is mostly how about you LOOK. In Brazil we have maaany problems regarding racism, just like the USA, so we do see race and talk about it. The difference? In the USA they want everybody to have a freakin PEDIGREE to be white, like… you’re only white if your genetics is PURE white (and this, to me, sound so bizarre… so “supremacist”) In Latin America if you look white, you’re white. If you look black you’re black. Because a cop won’t ask your dna test before shooting you unfairly. An HR interviewer won’t ask too see your family tree of the last X generations before thinking you’re more or less qualified because of your looks. Racism doesn’t really care about your background in most cases. I know a woman that has a mixed race/black mother and an white European father (immigrant). She was born extremely light skinned, green eyes, straight light brown hair and with extremely European facial features. She doesn’t look like her mom at all! She considers herself white, and why shouldn’t she? If she went around calling herself “black” because she has a black mother actual black people that suffer racism consistently would be MAD. Her husband is mixed race/mostly white and they had a baby. Their baby is light skinned, with european facial features, BLOND with green eyes. He’s white. That’s how race works here. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Oh, and in this very specific case, they ALL consider themselves brazillians. Even the woman whose father was an immigrant simply consider herself Brazilian, just that. Because she was born and raised here. Simple like that.

[@netero1682]

In the United States, they not only differentiate if you are white because you are of European descent, but they also care about where you are from Europe, they even distinguish if you come from Germany, the Netherlands, Italy or Ireland, even with last names. They have a obsession with that. They separate themselves with White American, German American and things like that. It would be very bad for Latin America to let that part of the US culture begin to influence.

[@agme8045]

The thing in the USA is that because they always cared so much about pedigree and racial purity, a white American is very very distinguishable from the rest of Americans. Also, in South America the majority of Europeans came from the Mediterranean (Italy, Spain, Portugal and France) who among Europeans, tend to be of darker complexion (olive skin, shorter, darker hair and eyes). So in South America, being white is a much broader spectrum. White passing (people with mixed ancestry who look/pass as white) was a thing in the USA, just like in South America. But looking/passing as white in the USA is much more difficult, because you basically need to look like a Scandinavian, and looking like a Scandinavian when you have African/indigenous ancestors is not very common (it can happen, but mostly for people who have strong European ancestry from both sides of the family). Argentina is definitely closer to Brazil, except in Argentina nobody ever discusses their race. You said something about your mother or that other woman you know, considering themselves white. Well in Argentina the vast majority of people have never considered themselves any race. We are taught from a very young age in school that race is a dated concept that has no biological basis. So we don’t divide ourselves into racial groups. Everyone knows where their family comes from, but that’s it. It’s not uncommon for us to discuss where our grandparents come from, but the conversation revolves around culture and family history, not to prove our racial purity or anything like that. For example, it’s normal for people to talk about the little Italian/Spanish town their grandmother was born, it’s actually quite common for some Argentinians to travel to that little town to go meet their distant relatives or see the house their family was originally from. But it’s not exclusive to Europe, people do the same with their Latin American ancestors, or even with their Argentinian ancestors from other parts of the country (at least here in Buenos Aires, it’s full of people from other provinces. Almost everyone is either originally from an other province or their ancestors came from there). I imagine something similar happens in Brasilia.

[@LowValueMan]

@@agme8045White passing was never really a “thing” in the US…well the way you’re thinking of it. Racial mixing was considered taboo indications of such were the “1 drop rule,” if you had any parent, grandparent, great grandparent, or anyone along your direct line that was anything other than Anglo-Saxon you were exactly that and not Anglo-Saxon. (Ellen Craft a woman you wouldn’t be able to tell apart from any other “Anglo-Saxon” white woman was a slave she was considered black because her mother was black information like this for some reason is kept out of textbooks by choice). Some American whites are surprised to have African ancestry as some of these people escaped slavery and blended into white society by pretending to be white as wells as during reconstruction and Jim Crow. Also other Europeans within the US adopted this same rule because they were not considered to be genetically “white” like the English men were, but were considered to be higher racially amongst the hierarchal standard of “race.” To keep their place amongst the hierarchy of race they implied the same rule and so on further downward until you reach African/black at the bottom. Early US history racial mixing was rather a low occurrence but when it did happened it was mainly more prominent within the lowest on the racial hierarchy “blacks”…due to implications deemed cruel by modern standards. Mixture within European ancestry is a mix of old…the purchase of Dutch, French territories etc countryside settlers mixing with the English but primarily it’s a recent phenomenon mainly from the 1830-1850s British, Irish, and Germans attracted by cheap farmland 1st stage industrialization/mass migration as well as the 2nd mass migration after WW2 which brought millions more of other Europeans (Italians, British, Irish, Germans, French, etc.) to the US which was the largest migration of Europeans to the US. “Whiteness” became more homogeneous later on after the 2nd mass migration, as demographics changed the racial hierarchy still existed, its expansion allowed other Europeans to be on the top but the 1 drop rule still applied to everyone else that did not fit under it’s more modern definition. These parameters contributed a huge factor as to why racial admixtures as what we see today in North America are significantly less mixed than South America.

[@LowValueMan]

@@ingrid6295Honestly I prefer US’s version which may sound odd…since this is coming from an African American man. Not sure about the rest of South American countries but Brazil…which is a very mixed society I may add is practically hell on Earth for people that share my skin color and phenotypes. Brazil may not apply segregation on an ethnic/DNA based level but they do apply it on the skin color/phenotype level…at a much stronger level of enforcement than North Americans I may also add. You’ll be hard pressed to find Afro-Brazilians allowed to live amongst white-Brazilians or being able to move up the socio-economic ladder with the ease you have in the US. I tell any and every African-American complaining about racism in the US if you want to see real racism go live in Brazil. The race issue in the US has nothing to do with racism…in the modern day here, it comes down to personal flaws “accountability” many rather blame and put that responsibility outward instead of where the issue actually lies which is you.

[@elcultomatematico3922]

In reality, we are an ethnic group, or rather, we are a pan-ethnic group. An ethnic group is defined not only by genetic ancestry, but by shared cultural identity and value system. From that point of view, we are an ethnic group, but a better definition is a Pan-ethnic group. A Pan-ethnic group is the union of various ethnic groups that are similar to each other, or the grouping of a large group with similar characteristics.

[@elcultomatematico3922]

In the Americas there are two large Pan-ethnic groups, the Anglo-Saxons who would be countries like Canada, the US, Barbados in the Caribbean or Belize, etc., in the Latin groups there would be countries like Brazil, Mexico or Argentina. The Anglo-Saxons would have a cultural base in the British Empire, they would speak English, they would have a Protestant religion and a value system somewhat different from the Latins, the Latins would have a cultural base in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain / Portugal), they would speak languages ​​​​of the Latin family, they would have a religion based on Catholicism and a shared value system slightly different from the Anglo-Saxons.

Egyptian is African but they don't have deep dark skin like Sub-Saharan Africa. People from Solomon islands have deep dark skin but they're not "Blacks" as in black African, they're Melanesian. These naming of Black and White race is the origin of Papua New Guinea. Because the Portuguese explorer who first land there thought that Papuan people are like African specifically Guinean because of the skin color, hence New Guinea.

In this sense, it played a fundamental role in the integration of the peoples who formed the Brazilian people, constituting the mainstay and origin of the family in the country. Dona Catarina Paraguassú, wife of Diogo Álvars (the Caramuru), is considered a Tupinambá princess by her descendants, in the same way that Dona Maria do Espírito Santo Arcoverde, wife of Jerônimo de Albuquerque (the Adam Pernambuco), is considered a Tabajara princess by descendants and chroniclers.

True. That also happens with African American families. But, Brazil's racial caste system elevates people who are white passing. Historically, that wasn't necessarily the case in the US. People who had Black ancestry were Black. There was some privilege associated with lighter skin/more European features (colorism), but the law brutally enforced the caste system. Violating the caste system and trying to pass as white could be fatal. So, that led to the creation of a Black American ethnic group with its own dialects, cuisines, literature, art, and music. Although the One Drop Rule is no longer legally enforced, Black Americans don't divide themselves into black, mulatto, pardo, etc. as done in Brazil and other parts of Latin America. That's why you see people like Mariah Carey or Beyonce identify as Black.)

Not ngl, I feel like conjugating everyone from South America as just one thing, despite the fact we are clearly from different ethinicities, has the same impact as saying pejorative slurs, like Mulato or the C-word.

I am visually and OBVIOUSLY mostly white. If I said so, they'd just be asking some steryotipcal questions, such as the soccer thing (I don't like soccer), the Latinas, etc. It pisses me off when someone who doesn't even live try to categorize our stuff, our SELVES, like if we were their own to toy with.

The term was already used in Europe and still used for all countries that speak a Latin-derived language. Obviously in their own language, so the word “Latino” written like that is for Spanish and Italian. But you are right about a thing: the US census. And the US didn’t include the Latin European countries in that census.

In Mexico we have a philosopher named "José Vasconcelos" who had some questionable ideas about race. His book "The Cosmic Race" said that a "superior race" was going to emerge in Latin America, which consisted of having the best traits of the other "races" because of the theory that the best genes are obtained through race mixing by natural selection. He was Minister of Education in Mexico during the 30s and tried to be president of Mexico. He was one of the great thinkers of the "mestizo" identity and that race mixing was seen as something good (unlike in the United States).

[@daughterofwolf]

Well he was on to something. In 2014 a scientific report came out, stating that the ideal human being was a Puerto Rican woman. Precisely because of the genetic admixture between European, Native and African. The perfect human didn't have to be from "Puerto Rico" precisely but the model most closely resembled a female from Puerto Rico. Since then, some have debated the report but it's a good theory I suppose.

The average Brazilian typically has ancestry from at least three major groups, but it can be much more diverse. I can speak for myself: my ancestors came from nearly every continent. My lineage includes Arabs, Ethiopians, Jews, Germans, Portuguese, Brazilian natives (Indigenous peoples), and some from West Africa.

Essentially anglosphere and hispanic world view race differently bc both england and spain do have differences on how they approached colonization. Anglosphere did by segregation and always keeping people in groups apart, while spanish made a bet on syncretism and unified people from many different backgrounds under one religion (not even language bc most native languages were preserved and spanish was not compulsory) and the promotion of interracial marriages. this is why being mixed raced in latin america is way more common than US or any other country of the anglosphere. Also to remark no other continent did develop this trait of blending like latin america did. This is why people in latin america have a collective culture attached to their nationality instead of their ethnicity, unlike americans that always talk about racial identity, arabs in the states and europe almost all still are muslims by 2 or 3 generations, arabs in latin america most end up being catholic by 2 or 3 generations. asians in the states and europe tend to keep themselves to their ethnic group. asians in latin america tend heavily to interracial marriages and in 1 or 2 generations they're fully latinos. africans that came to latin america become heavily westernized in their lifetime and lose many ties with africa. there is no such thing as race, there're people that come from countries that speak spanish or portuguese.

I think Dominicans especially in US do a great job telling Americans that majority are not black just like census shows people claim. I believe the issue is what Americans vs Dominicans consider black. To give an example & im not saying this is right at all but to me it seems like if your 70-100% African in DR your considered Black & in USA if your 25-100% African your considered Black. My percentages are prob not accurate for most opinions of Dominicans & Americans however I do believe there is a difference in the percentages if we were to break it down between what both cultures consider is black. I would say that difference in most cases maybe not as many Blacks in US have AmerIndian ( Taino, Mestizo, etc… ) in their DNA. During Slavery in US you had the 1 drop rule so that plays a part in Americans determination as well as who’s considered Black. Lately the term mixed is being used more in US especially due to more interracial couples & them having kids. In contrast I’ve heard people say that to Dominicans to say your black is like saying your Haitian & that’s why they rather identify as mixed to show their different.

So, if you’re a mixed-race Brazilian (Pardo), you’re automatically considered Black-even if you have no Black blood. Welcome to the wonderfully baffling world of modern Brazil! The Black movement in Brazil does not acknowledge the existence of mixed-race ppl; today, Brazilians are classified as either Black or white. This includes the "Caboclos" individuals of mixed Indigenous Brazilian and European ancestry, or those who were fully Native but subjected to forced cultural assimilation. Also included are the "Ribeirinhos," who were primarily Indigenous and sought to conceal their heritage by adopting other identities. The northern and northeastern regions of Brazil have a strong Indigenous ancestry, which often remains unrecognized. Historically, to erase Indigenous identity, Brazilian censuses recorded millions as Caboclos and Pardos, but today many are again misclassified as Black/Afro descendents. This misclassification reflects a broader trend of historical whitening and contemporary "Africanization" of Indigenous Brazilians and it's mixed race population. Some Black activists even argue that the predominantly Indigenous Amazon rainforest should be considered Black/Afro-Brazilian. Enough said about this erasure!

in fact, foreigners think that the majority are black due to the fact that some data on the black population in Brazil combines pardos with black people, as if pardos people were black, but pardo people are any person who is the daughter of parents with different races, if their father is indigienous and your mother is white you are a "pardo cabloco" for example, and there is also pardo skin color, which is the skin color of Anitta, Neymar, Alane Dias and others

Our spanish and culture very much shows that mestizo identity since we have a lot of Nahuatl loan words in Mexican Spanish, to the point where it becomes difficult for other spanish speakers to understand us sometimes and vice versa. One thing that does get missed out in Mexico and most of Latin America though is the acknowledgement of African contributions as well as contributions from other parts of the world culturally.
