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.
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 Latin America it doesn't matter if you are black, white, meztiso, indigenous or mulatto. The only thing we know is that we have all been poor at some point. 💀👍🏽
No one on earth is 100% Latino will never be a race, because their ancestors cross over from Asia, biologically Latinos are of indigenous eastern European and Asians descents.
What gringos don't seem to understand, is that the rest of the world is NOT interested in giving clasifications to every single person. Jesucristo ayúdalos!😅
¡Alguien lo dijo! I never understood this US obsession with classifying people, look there's certainly differences but at the end of the day it matters very little, everyone wants the same: peace and prosperity
Nobody in Latam says “German brazilian” “italian argentinian” “basque colombian” We don’t make differences: we are brazilian, argentinian or colombian.
We are all SO mixed. I just express “I was born in Colombia 🇨🇴“ I’m SO MIXED that I don’t identify as “Colombiana” I’m a bunch of other ethnicities and don’t give preference to any and it’s a beautiful thing. So I was born in Colombia 🇨🇴 pero… hmm that’s just the label of the “new world” I do find it very special that I have chibchan and Incan Blood. Which basically translates to I’m NEW & OLD WORLD 🧬 The whole universe is in me. Latin America is unique in that way. Both OLD & NEW WORLD Order genetics 🧬
I think the usage of these two terms vary a lot, depends on who you ask, sometimes "latino" and "latin american" can be used interchangeably. For instance, I speak brazilian portuguese. When we are not referring to ourselves as simply brasileiros, we're saying "latinos" rather than "latino-americanos", but I suspect it's because it's easier to pronounce, lol
@@mei4n Yeah, Iberian-American is the better term. It is generally difficult to find terms that accurately describe vast and racially heterogenous regions like the Americas.
@@mei4n well that's maybe because canada almost everyone speaks english too, instead of latin america that is 100% romance lenguage. But yes i agree, canada may be also get integrated in the term "latin america" but that doesn't mean that the term "latin america" is wrong just because is mostly using excluding canada, and guyana speaks english. About Haiti you are wrong, Latin Americans do include Haiti when they refer to Latin America
Los Españoles son Europeos - Spaniards are European. Spain is in Europe! Surrounded by France and Andorra to the north., Portugal to the west and the British Overseas territory of Gibraltar to the south
thats not true, indigenous is more of a cultural thing not a blood quantum thing, giving that the Yaquis of Mexico for example are considered indigenous people but according to a DNA study on them, the average is only 56% indigenous
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.
One thing which is also important to note is that most Latin American families can be composed of people with different attributes depending on those genes, something that Disney's "Encanto" nailed perfectly- whereas a couple of your relatives can be white as snow, some can be very tan and vary in features wildlyyyy
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.
@@395leandro When I look at Brazil's political leaders, wealthy class, tv hosts, and tv/movie stars, etc., I don't see a reflection of the mixed family and population of the people you speak of, nor what I saw of the people there on my numerous visits. We may speak about race differently, but Brazil definitely has as much of a racism issue as the U.S.
I am Brazilian, and my genealogical test showed I'm 46% German, 32% Portuguese, 12.5% Polish, 6% Italian, 2% Amerindian and almost 2% French. Basically, I'm a mix of Europe with a Brazilian twist. I really like it, lmao

What race are the latinos? - All, none, who cares. Americans are obsessed with race, and they're always asking, investigating and talking about it, which is something really annoying and cringe as f. Race in Latin America is not the big deal. There are racism and colorism (not like in the US), but class is a more important divisive issue.
@El_Mr_Misterioso You have a shameful indefensible history, and you want to deflect it onto others. That's how disease and pathogens work. Spanish daddy, Native and West African mammy. A history of interracial rape. What's so great about that?
I'm hispanic, I have light skin but I am not white because first of all, I am also mixed with other stuff like African and Native Taino and two, here in the US, we are not seen as white. Even if you have blonde hair and blue eyes, the moment they see a spanish last name, they'll see you as "other". Yea, I know.
Ironic considering that Mexico invented a whole vocabulary of terms to classify people under the Castiza system (which are still commonly understood and utilized today…for example Mestizo).
Why don’t people understand Latino is not an ethnic group, is just a geographical group? I’m blond, I have blue eyes. I descend of Portugueses, Greeks and Hungarians. I also have as small part of indigenous and African ancestry. I’m Latino just because I was born in Brazil. But I’m a white person. Actually, anyone can be Brazilian because there are people from everywhere here.
Mesmo que tenha pessoas de todos os lugares, vale lembrar que pela história a aparência do brasileiro é a do mulato, cafuzo ou bandeirante, mas isso é outra história. É um fato que um descendente de europeu nascido aqui é bem diferente de um europeu em questão de comportamento, já que foi "abrasileirado". Ele foi para o interior e adotou a cultura caipira, que não é nada mais nada menos que uma herança bandeirante.
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.
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.
pq no fim das contas vai ser o q estadunidense propaga e infelizmente eles são o grupo de pessoas mais burras do mundo, especialmente quando o assunto é raça
Because race is a substitutes for a caste system in the US. But, to be fair, Latin America is, in many ways, far more racist than the US. Latin Americans hide behind talk of racial democracy and descriptions of everyone is mestizo. When the rubber meets the road, whiteness or looking more white than Indigenous or Black is what matters.
Good catch of the crazy mix of South America. But you overlooked the arab and slavic immigration to Brazil. We have several millions of lebanese, syrians, turkish, ukranians, polish, russian, pomeranian (and I could go on) descendents mixing with every other ethnicity you mentioned. Such a melting pot.
@@wnose We are talking about ethnicity, right? Their culture is well preserved in Pomerode, Blumenau in Santa Catarina state, Santa Maria do Jetibá in Espírito Santo state.
Quando se fala de descendencia europeia é do continente europeu inteiro, isso inclui Polônia, Ucrânia e Rússia. Mas de fato o Brasil tem muitos descendentes arabes libaneses e sírio, mas poucos estrangeiros sabem disso.
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).
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.
@@Redeemedmed Genetically speaking. Being mixed race allows a person to have more genetic variation or diversity, which can protect against diseases: “In what he called a “thought experiment,” Pachter looked at all the mutations in the database, noting the ones with beneficial and disadvantageous effects. His argument: the person with the most “good” alleles and the least “bad” alleles would be the “perfect human.” It just happened that the sample closest to this arbitrary constructed ideal came from a Puerto Rican woman.”
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.
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.
@@netero1682 Saldly, already is infuencing plenty people, especially young people. Being chronically on internet and with most of streaming plataforms and social medias being american there is a lot of influence.
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.
@@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.
@@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.

In fact, this mentality is not only American, but also European. In most Latin American countries, white people continue to hold most positions of power. Most middle-class neighborhoods are white, most doctors are white, most politicians are white, and so on. So this already happens in Latin America, but the way it happens is silent and sneaky...
Brazil has one of the largest genetic variations in the world. The country has welcomed people from all over the globe, including Arabs, Lebanese, Syrians, Turks, Ukrainians, Poles, Russians, Pomeranians, Chinese, Japanese, Africans from various countries, and many Western Europeans-all mixing together. 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. This diverse heritage has given my family some very interesting traits. For instance, my grandmother is black but has a significant amount of Indigenous DNA from her mother. My great-grandmother, on the other hand, was as white as a sheet of paper.
Eu tinha muita vontade de fazer um exame de DNA meu para saber a salada de fruta que ia dar! Infelizmente nunca consegui juntar as histórias adequadamente dos meus bisavós ou trisavós.
Yeah thats true but actually on average 50% of all the immigrants that immigrated to Brazil left so while yes there might've been a large community of Ukrainians, Poles and Russians in Brazil in the late 1800s that doesn't necessarily mean there still is one.
Dominican here - 57% African (Bantu People, Nigeria, Benin Togo, Mali, Northern African), 38% European (Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Norway), and the rest is Amerindian (Taino and Yucatan).... I have a cappuccino color to my skin which I am very proud of (a clear indication of African roots and European elements, more coffee than milk of course). The cultural smoothie I have in my family and motherland is awesome. The world dances to our music and speaks of our beaches and warm welcoming culture.
0:01 *Francisco Lachowski* is a *Brazilain* model. Brazilians can be light-skinned; all the way to being “dark/black.” Just like *America* we have white & black *Americans* 🤷🏼♂️
This is why I don't like using name of color to refer to race. I prefer to just use geographical area to refer to race origin. European and African is still too broad of a region to pinpoint a certain race, but it's clear where Europe end and Africa start. 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. TL;DR Use geographical term rather than color of the skin.
@@flowershower6857and? He remains Brazilian, if it is by DNA no Brazilian is Brazilian, taking into account that a white Brazilian has 80+% European DNA, besides that Chico never gave information about his DNA.

It's very common to have different skin colours in the same family in Brazil. Both my grandfathers were black. Both my parents were mixed race but my mother has light skin and my father has darker skin. I was born white as a candle with blond hair. But genetically I'm still 21% West African (according to 23nme). I have a first cousin with very dark skin and her sister has light skin. Another first cousin who is very white and blonde. It's pretty common.
Most Brazilians (and also Latin/Iberan) are of mixd race and native and European Iberian South American descendants and the Portuguese being the majority in second the Spanish (even those of the South, a small portion is descended only from Germans but much later not the foundation because the ones who founded Brasil and create the luso-Brazilian identity were the tree first ) later, when they arrived, Afrcans began to marry and mix with him, being more common in the northeast region, which also has more the mixture of the three races. Catarina Paraguaçu Catarina Álvares Paraguaçu was born in Bahia(n the place were the most blacs older afrca concentrate)it is presumed, in 1503. Indigenos Tupinambá, wife of the Portuguese Diogo Álvares Correia, the "Caramuru" and the first woman to establish a family, in terms of Westrn Christan civilization, in Brazil. According to a baptismal certificate, held on July 30, 1528, in France, her real name was "Guaibimpará", according to the record of Friar Santa Rita Durão in his poem Caramuru. 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. It is a genealogical memory that confirms and reaffirms the ethnic identity of Brazilans as descendants of Amerindans Our vocabulary, the name of the city is states is in the Portuguese language, Catholc and also Tupi-Guarani
This happened because even though they are blacs skin but they are also mix I’m morena, brown because I’m mix of Portuguese and native amerindians and my niece is blond even though my sister has the same color as me
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.)
But the treatment of Indigenous and Black peoples in majority white south American countries is so backwards. The latinos who 'roll there eyes' are never from those groups.
@kyordannydelvalle523, Mestizo specifically means of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry. Pardo is a more generalized census category used by the Brazilian government for people of any mixed ancestry, even those with no Indigenous ancestry.

Because your ancestors are mixed and dated with others mixed, they are creating a generation of mullatos by dating people with similar dna. Mixed people date mixed people all the time making the new generation mixed as well.

I'm surprised you included Uruguay in your video. It's so often overlooked. I did a 23&Me DNA test years ago, and the results were kind of shocking. The report states that I am 90% European with 9% Amerindian and then some Italian, Ashkenazi, etc. This came as a shocker considering my family tree. Almost 90% of my distant relatives on the app are from Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil or Argentina. It's not surprising since we share similar cultures and customs. Great video.

I’m also from Brazil, my results were not surprising to me since I’m very familiar with my family tree and only a couple generations in Brazil, the result was 98% European (mostly Italian and German with Some Iberian, British) , 1% ashkenazi and 1% Asian.

The term "Latino" was rarely heard until the U.S. Census Bureau started using it for sorting immigrants in the early 2000s. Fast forward twenty-something years, and now it's worn like a badge of pride, with idiots even arguing online about who gets to claim it.
@fanatik9590 Right-"rarely heard" isn’t the same as "never heard". I didn’t say the U.S. Census Bureau invented the term or that it was hiding under a rock. It just wasn’t a standardized or widely used label for demographics until they decided to slap it on us
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. Specially when it comes to northern colonialistic countries like the US. I feel that if I just went to live there and publicly state the fact that I'm from Brazil, people would treat differently. 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. So nowadays people who don’t even know the history of that word use it only for Latin America while the definition is different from the one of the US.
In *AMERICA*, latinos choose to identify as white. I am pretty sure there are more things for you think about in your country than what people in America call themselves. "America" is literally in the name of our country and it is on our money. And right now, you're using our technology. The correct word is "thank you".
Black people here in Brazil have a great portion of european DNA. Neguinho da Beija-Flor, a known black samba singer, has almost 70% of european genes, for example. It's crazy.
@@xhorxheetxeberria-td1hu In Latin or South America and the caribbean, the Indigenous people are referred to as Amerindians. They do not consider themselves as native Americans but Amerindian and this is coming from a person who is Amerindian. It is often used to refer to the indigenous peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean to distinguish them from the indigenous peoples of North America, who are more commonly referred to as "Native Americans"
Gringos would look like Latinoamericans but they put their amerindian population in reservations and that makes their black vs white narrative prevalent.
And they made those reservations for the few natives that survived the a n n i h i l a t i o n and g e n o c i d e, their ancestors endured from the white settlers stealing their lands. Most USA citizens with native dna are actually mexican-american or have hispanic ancestry 'cause unlike the iberians, the British and the germans considered the native peoples nothing but wild fauna, barely s u b h u m a n.
I mean not really there are other factors at play first of the native population in north america was much smaller compared to south americans, also the europen population between north and south america is kind of different north american eruopeans are primarily northern europeans while south american europeans are primarily of southern european descent, although both parts still have signifcant immigrant populations from the the other side of the european continet the fact the white population is more skewed towards north european in the USA and canada and towards south europeans in latin america would still lead to the difference in looks that you generally find between northern and southern europe
@@Victorvondoom9159 That's false because it turns out that all the German speakers (I'm not just referring to Germans, I'm talking about Swiss, Austrians or people from the Volga) who went to Argentina or Brazil were n@zis, but all those who went to the United States were "good people". Even I didn't hear anything about that or the clip operation or why Fanta exists. In fact, I traveled through Argentina and people said that at school they learned German, French or Italian until the 90s but then they imposed American English because it is more. "useful". Even in Brazil and Argentina were most north italians(who looks more like swiss for example) than in the United States where majority were south italians. In fact exists welsh villages that speaks welsh in argentinian Patagonia.
SEE ? THANK YOU. NOT ALL DOMINICANS ARE BLACK. I'm a white Dominican myself, and I believe I shouldn't be discussing my race, when everything that I ONLY TRULY care about is MY NATIONALITY. nationalities DON'T HAVE A COLOR. now, there's a truth Y'ALL can't DENY, and that is that around 70% of Dominicans ARE MIXED RACE, meaning, that they're either mixed to certain patterns = European+Native ancestry, OR, European+African ancestry, AND/OR, European+African+Native ancestry. the common denominator here is an european ancestrial base, not african. there's NOTHING WRONG in clarifying our truth, because if it were a lie, we would succumb to anyone else's distorted perceptions. our dear neighbors do have a major AFRICAN base, and THAT SHOULDN'T BE NOTHING BAD. the thing is that WE SHOULDN'T be squarreling about this ever. race ISN'T A DETERMINATING FACTOR of a person's success. okay ? PELÉ WAS DARK-SKINNED AND WON MORE WORLD CUPS THAN MARADONA (well, they both were good players, not going to lie 😅 I LOVE BOTH), but hey, messi is also an exceptional player, and he isn't dark-skinned. see, this is just for historians. we're all tracing back to the dinosaurs era to see if having a lighter or darker skin makes you acquire superpowers. the thing is, THIS IS EARTH, MY BOY. THE REALITY IS THAT EVERYONE CAN SUCCEED. we should just STOP talking about this woke DEI discussion about "races." RACES ARE JUST A SOCIETAL CONSTRUCT, they DON'T depict reality. just enjoy life and breathe, gosh. we need humans, not walking DNA verifiers.
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. Obviously this all doesn’t rly matter since we’re all humans but it’s interesting to say the least 💯

I think people think brazilians are blacker than we are because most stereotypes from brazil are from Rio, the state with most black people, except for bahia mentioned in the video... Also football players are mostly black and mullatos.
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
the culture is Majority African and native influenced too. with over 50% of the population being a mix of native black and mixed race its earned that title.
Im white Brazillian and thats my DNA results: 73% European (68,6 Portuguese; 2,4 Sephardic Jewish; 1,4 German; 0,6 Romani) 16% American Native (10,2 Amazonian; 5,0 Macro Jê) 10% African (6,2 Western Bantu; 4,0 West Africa Nigeria and Senegambia) 1,6% Middle East
The indigenous heritage in Brazil 🇧🇷 is incredibly rich, but don't worry-it’s effectively erased by both white and Black "activists." Since 2010, the Estatuto da Igualdade Racial, a legislative achievement of the Brazilian Black movement, has mandated that ALL MIXED-race "Pardos" (making up 45% of the country) be classified as Black/Afro descendants ONLY. 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!
Noticed that US citizen have a weird obsession with brazilians heritage and argentinans. However, at the end, both countries most problems comes from clasism than their phenotypes (there's not such thing as race)
@@jaylendiorVlogwhat they might mean by "theres no such thing as 'race' here" is that everyone in the country is self-consider as the country nationality (i.e all people born in Brazil consider themselves Brazilian, no matter what their race background is). Of course there's racism here too, but its more about the skin color, and not what their ancestors race were.
us citizens have to worry about united states problems and issues such the killing every month in their schools... dont get if you said the clasism is from our countries, im argentinian, or from united states... either way they has no word in the matter of life whatsover

i felt goosebumps and tears watching this for some reason, its so enlightening to know about our history, its in our blood, the cultures, the history, the love, the hate, the wars... so much suffering and love brought us to where we are now, and continues to do so. i love the fact that you separate what people identify as and what their genes show, because i think its so important to know, unfortunately many people are still taught in a eurocentric way in schools here in brazil, if youre not from some minority community, that was able to resist and maintain part of their culture, your knowledge will be eurocentric more than any other. even here in bahia where there are many afro brasilians like you showed, the african and indigenous cultures are learned from communities as schools till this day focus more on european history, knowledge and world views, and its sad that most people dont indentify with indigenous and african so much because imo thats the most rich part of our culture. but in recent years its changing african and indigenous cultures are being valued and aknowledged by many, but there is still a big gap between the respect they deserve as equals and part of our blood, culture and history, and what we actually know and live of that. it leaves me sad to know how much history and knowledge and lives were killed off purposefully in colonization. thank you for your video god bless
Bolivia was overlooked. Surprising that the average amerindian genetic origin is less than Peru, but culturally the indigenous is mainstream in Bolivia.
Mas o menos, depende demasiado, bolivia para los bolivianos lo consideran la nación de las tres civilizaciones por algo del contexto histórico mas complejo (respecto a lo que dices es bastante cierto en general)
Bolivia is more indigenous than Peru though I think this channel didn't do their research well. Peru has more mixture despite of having a high indigenous ancestry. Not so much the case for Bolivia you need to go to Bolivia to see in
I'm considered a white Brazilian, I've made a DNA test and found out I'm 64% European, 17% sub Saharan African, 12% Amerindian and 7% north African. Also I'm 8% Sefaradim Jewish and 4% Ashkenazi (from Europe), and 3% Mizrahim (North Africa), so I have just 4% of Arabic ancestry. My European ancestry is mostly from Iberia (32%).
Thats why what is considered "white" in latin america is a social status..but according to DNA, only like 0,5% of population in LAtin America would be really white.
You forgot to include the Asian genetic component of Latin America, especially in the coastal areas of western Mexico where Filipino DNA is as prevalent as African DNA, and the very recent Chinese and Japanese DNA outputs in Brazil and Peru.
The Asian genes are Native/indigenous DNA. He said the majority mixture, that being West African, Spaniard and Indigenous. Filipino is not major in Latino DNA. We have more Middle Eastern DNA than Austronesian
The asian mixture into this is highly irrelevant, in Brazil's case, less than 1% of the population declares itself as Asian/Japanese (which is around 1,6 million if I'm not mistaken) in the entire country. Fun fact, even in the regions with the most asian influence of the culture and the population in Brazil still has a majority of the ethnicites and mixtures mentioned in the video (basically European, African and Indigenous), so It's highly irrelevant to compare since they are a underwhelming minority.
I’m of Afro-Caribbean and Latin descent (Haitian and Zimbabwean) but I’m American. It feels nice to be a part of such a diverse culture and community ❤.
I am Brazilian, my paternal grandmother is from Portugal, my paternal grandfather is a descendant of slaves who came to Brazil, born in Minas Gerais. On my mother's side, my maternal grandmother is the daughter of an Italian and my grandfather is the grandson of a Greek guy, a Lebanese refugee , a Italian lady and a descendant of French and the Royal House (Borgonha) of Portugal. I am a complete mix of several different nations.
Yes it is similar, but they are racially more separated, compared to Latinos, Latinos on the other hand are more mixed, in addition White Latinos present high levels of Amerindians, in non Hispanic White Americans it is rare to see Amerindian ancestry, usually small traces of Afro are found.
European English? You mean European and English? Cause there's gazzillion of German, Irish, Scottish, Italian, French, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish, Polish, ex Yugoslav, etc Europeans in USA. Not only English European. There's more than 40 million Americans with German heritage alone. When combined (Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Ireland, eastern Europe, central Europe) the majority of the USA-ians would have EU heritage for sure.
I was born in the region of Serra Gaúcha, Southern Brazil, and I took a DNA test: - 68,9% northern Italian - 13,4% Southern Italian/greek - 13,1% german/central europe - 4,6% French Yeah pretty much accurate. My family arrived in brazil in 1880 and since the south was mostly empty we didn’t face race mixing as much as other parts of Brazil

Some people in the comment section are saying that “Latino” is an American word but that’s interesting because I see several people all over Latin America using that word
"Latino" was successfully invented and used by the French during their short-lived conquest of Mejico, to try to lessen the fact that French, while also a Latin-descended language and culture, is distant enough from Spanish or Portuguese culture as to be totally foreign to Mejico and everywhere else in Iberian America. The gringos adopted latino as a "racial"/linguistic (over) simplifier. I'm old enough to remember that we, all over Iberian America's schools, were taught we were all Iberian Americans, subdivided into Hispanic America and Luso (Portuguese) America. Québec, Haiti, and French Guiana were never mentioned in the lot. They were just as foreign as the English and Dutch colonies. Then, US imperialism expanded immensely when almost simultaneously the old URSS collapsed, the internet came to be, and the Usians found themselves with a 50 million "Latino" "problem" they keep talking about and polluting the internet with. With so many "Latino" immigrants in the US talking about their daily experiences with their relatives in Iberian America, and the totality of the Iberian American media just monkeying the US one, the misnomer "Latino" gained an illogical and undue but inevitable traction.
You didn't mention Venezuela, but it is one of the most mixed countries on the continent, along with Colombia and Brazil. On the street you will find people with all kinds of features. Although our indigenous population is very low, the interbreeding between indigenous people, Europeans and Africans is very high. For decades, Venezuela was an oasis that received immigrants, including Italians, Portuguese and Spanish.

*Here in Peru 🇵🇪 happens the same, I know one of the most popular and recognizing thing about our image is the Andean citizens of the country, but most of our ppl is mixed, and if you come to the capital is even worse, because there's a lot of Asian (Japanese - Chinese "mostly"), but there's also a big European influence, mostly (Italian-German and French), Perú is the third country with the biggest Italian immigrant community after Brazil and Argentina of course, you can also confirm it with the typical dishes in the country, other example is Oxapampa-Pozuzo that's a region that was founded by The Germans and Austrians, making it the only Austro-German Colony in the World (yes the only one with Germans and Austrian, no only Germans that's why is the only one). My Great-great grandfather was a German soldier from WW1, He's a desertor btw, most of our family have a big German heritage and traditions, we still keep the language and some traditions, I live in Surco district, in Lima (the capital) but also its one of the districts with a larger German descendants communities (if you ask to some ppl the german is still being speaked by some families and zones).*
just want to correct something. Actually Venezuela is the third country that had with the biggest influx of Italian migration. ( Spanish and Portuguese too) Look it up on google. After World War II Venezuela was a prosperous country attracting many European immigrants. they went to Argentina/Uruguay and brazil the most following Venezuela. There were a lot of Venezuelan of italian descent that have left now though because of the socio-politcal situation but there is a big italo-venezolano culture even that we use for memes.
@fanatik9590 El no dijo eso, sólo dijo que Perú es el 3er país latino con mayor inmigración italiana.

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.
@saulspanco854 ah sim com certeza o problema da pobreza é a mistura racial e não o fato que a América Latina foi ao longo de séculos uma colônia explorada e/ou vítima de diversos golpes financiados justamente por países de "primeiro mundo" que queriam manter a relação de extração de riquezas benéfica para eles.

I love how diverse Latinos are! Some countries more than others! My family a mixture of all these. Some of my cousins are brown but with lighter skinned parents, and others are white, with one or both parents being a bit more brown. Genetics can be random and produce amazing phenotypic outcomes. I'm from Ecuador, and I took an ancestry test with Ancestry: 52% Native Ecuadorian 32% Spanish 10% West African (breaks downs further into Congo, Cameroon, Bantu peoples, Senegal, Benin and Togo) 5% Basque 2% Sardinian 1% Indigenous Yucatan 1% Peru 1% Jewish 1% English
A portion of Latin Americans are White Hispanics because of their high percentage of Spanish ancestry. Both sides of my family are from Mexico, but most of our heritage and genealogy come from Spain. The majority of my family looks like White Spaniards.
Let me explain, almost all White Hispanics have Amerindian Haplogroups, they can be racially 95% White but they still have Amerindian genetic markers, this happens with White Argentines.
The first wave of Spanish migration was almost entirely made up of men, who had mestizo children. These mestizo children mixed again with later waves of Spanish or other European migrants, giving rise to the White Hispanics. This explains why the majority of racially White Hispanics have Amerindian mitochondrial DNA.
in latin america nobody cares about race, nationality matter most, so for example if someone calls himself a latino, african, italian, etc but was born in usa, everybody will call you gringo here despite your ethnicity (even if you look like a latino)

Is not what you think, it's about what it is. Brazil is Lusoamerican >iberoamerican>latinoamerican (debatable if such thing exist, but if it does...) Hispanoamerican is exclusive to the Spanish speaking countries.
You say Portuguese is your favorite language and yet I am sure you are incapable of conjugating common verbs with accuracy. Have you uttered the basic word “este“ once in your entire life? Guess not, eh? “Esse“ 100% of the time, yes? « Portuguese and English are my favorite languages » As if you knew anything at all about any other languages.
I'm Puerto Rican and my 23andme results were 72% European, 15% Indigenous, 8% West African, and 3% West Asian. I wish you would've spoken about us. 75% of Puerto Ricans identified as white in the 2010 census, while in 2020 only 17% identified as white. We're an interesting case study on shifts in racial self-perception.
It is true that in Argentina there is a lot of European descent, but it can also vary depending on the province. I am from Salta (northern province) and here there are many people of Bolivian and indigenous descent, as well as Jujuy.
Mexico does not ask people their race on their census. The 31% Amerindian population figure comes from the CIA. Mexico does ask about languages spoken at home. Just over 10% speak an Amerindian language at home but some of those also speak Spanish. If the Mexican census did ask people their race the vast majority would probably say Mestizo.
The Mexican government doesn't ask but there are other ways to check. Usually Universities and Hospitals can conduct studies with the data they do have. 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. I don't personally consider my culture European but something mixed and I just wish the US would think of us that way as opposed to aliens from mars or a white people of some kind apparently. We have strong native roots on this continent but also roots from all over the world.
@@Jorora_Dev Few days ago there were a lot of black americans saying that a white girl wasn't white because she was latina 😬 Can you think of a latino telling a black person telling them they are not American because they are black instead of white?
@@Jorora_Dev University and Hospital studies are nowhere near as accurate as a well done census. All countries in the Western Hemisphere have loan words from local Amerindian tribes. I speak Mexican Spanish and I can understand Columbians and Chileans just fine. There may be a word here and there that I don't understand in the same way there are British words I don't understand as a speaker of American English. But I can ask for clarification and we then understand each other. The vast majority of Mexicans speak a European language and practice a European religion. Those are just facts. Germany has had contributions to their culture from Turkey to Syria. Doesn't make them not German or not European.
For every indigenous person that speaks their language there are another few which although still connected to their ancestry do not speak the language. This applies in most of the Americas including Mexico. Languages are not being passed down but people can remain connected through family. But that on it's own is not a reliable indicator of the indigenous population.

@@arthurmoran4951 It's humanity's backup, but people here kind of procreated with different people... myself, I have black, amerindian and white cousins, I have Japanese cousins, but I was born looking Arab, my nickname at school was Alladin, I don't have Arab ancestry, my aquiline nose is a Caucasian phenotype and my tanned skin comes from mixed ethnicities.
My results are almost the same. 59% Portuguese, 10% Nigerian, 10% Native American. The rest were, Middle east, Eastern Europe, and North and West Europe. The latter could come from the fact that my mother's family is from the Northeast, which was a dutch colony.
I'm Paraguayan(Spanish and Guarani), we're mostly a mestizo nation, to the extent that there are some regions that only speak Guarani. Moreover, the Guarani language, is one of the official languages, along with Spanish. There's also some Italian and Portuguese strands as well. I imagine northern Argentina would have more Guarani influence.
The central area and Buenos Aires are mostly Italian and Spanish, the East is a mix of French and Spanish, and Patagonia is mix Spanish / German and Nordic. The north is mostly Amerindian and slightly African. And finally, the northwest of Argentina (NOA) is a mix of everything, being a port area, so they had sex with everyone before going to other places, similar to what happened in Buenos Aires, and it is the only region that has Guaraní Amerindians and Portuguese.
@bakteribaik156, Probably true. Paraguay once had an official policy of mandated “inter racial” marriage (was officially forbidden to marry within your own race). It’s was done with the intent of increasing social cohesion. I don’t know of any other country that ever had a law like that.
Why USA citizens are obssesed with classify people belong to a single race?In "latin" América the vast majority of habitants are mixed: european,amerindian and african,so we dont identify ourselves as birracial triracial,We are mestizo .

Very interesting! I'm a Brazilian pardo. I didn't know that most africans brought to the Americas were from West Africa and that Brazil has a higher proportion of East Africans.
Consider me impressed by the quality of the research in this video. As a Colombian who is studying political science, I can tell you that the conversation around race in Latin America is different from the one in the USA and Europe (who, in the academic world, seem to be the only ones talking about it… probably because they ARE the academia). And the implications of racial and ethnic geographic and historical distribution on today’s systemic oppression dynamics can’t simply be analyzed in the “American” theoretical and conceptual framework. This video helps to open that framework, so thank you.
I'm brazilian and my genetic composition is mostly Italian, Iberian and germanic, with a sprinkle of amerindian blood. I proud myself of this heritage.
I'm Brazilian, and I took an Ancestry test by the company Genera, and my result was as follows: 79% Europe 9% Middle East 9% Sub-Saharan Africa 3% American(Patagonia) Summary= Brazilians are, for the most part, mestizos, but the majority of the Brazilian People have predominantly European genetics!

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.
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.

"Latino" is a loan word Americans use to describe anything south of their border. The correct term is Latin American.
Iberian American* since they never count the French speaking countries like Canada, Haiti, Guyana and so.
I think the usage of these two terms vary a lot, depends on who you ask, sometimes "latino" and "latin american" can be used interchangeably. For instance, I speak brazilian portuguese. When we are not referring to ourselves as simply brasileiros, we're saying "latinos" rather than "latino-americanos", but I suspect it's because it's easier to pronounce, lol

But it's an error.. Mestizos are mixed races people, the amerindians are the native indigenous people.
well if you want you could be indentified as indigenous in mexico even if you have 75% of european ancestry since mexico allows to be self identified
thats not true, indigenous is more of a cultural thing not a blood quantum thing, giving that the Yaquis of Mexico for example are considered indigenous people but according to a DNA study on them, the average is only 56% indigenous
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.

One thing which is also important to note is that most Latin American families can be composed of people with different attributes depending on those genes, something that Disney's "Encanto" nailed perfectly- whereas a couple of your relatives can be white as snow, some can be very tan and vary in features wildlyyyy
So true, my ex is blonde and green eyed but her sister is very amerindian looking. Both super pretty, that's their shared sisterhood right there.

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.

Ironic considering that Mexico invented a whole vocabulary of terms to classify people under the Castiza system (which are still commonly understood and utilized today…for example Mestizo).
Why don’t people understand Latino is not an ethnic group, is just a geographical group? I’m blond, I have blue eyes. I descend of Portugueses, Greeks and Hungarians. I also have as small part of indigenous and African ancestry. I’m Latino just because I was born in Brazil. But I’m a white person. Actually, anyone can be Brazilian because there are people from everywhere here.
Mesmo que tenha pessoas de todos os lugares, vale lembrar que pela história a aparência do brasileiro é a do mulato, cafuzo ou bandeirante, mas isso é outra história. É um fato que um descendente de europeu nascido aqui é bem diferente de um europeu em questão de comportamento, já que foi "abrasileirado". Ele foi para o interior e adotou a cultura caipira, que não é nada mais nada menos que uma herança bandeirante.
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.
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.

Good catch of the crazy mix of South America. But you overlooked the arab and slavic immigration to Brazil.

Mas de fato o Brasil tem muitos descendentes arabes libaneses e sírio, mas poucos estrangeiros sabem disso.
Slavic people, specifically the ones you mentioned, are considered European.
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).
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.
It seems to be the exact opposite
@daughterofwolf ideal for what purpose tho ?, you can't be ideal point blank
@@Redeemedmed Genetically speaking. Being mixed race allows a person to have more genetic variation or diversity, which can protect against diseases: “In what he called a “thought experiment,” Pachter looked at all the mutations in the database, noting the ones with beneficial and disadvantageous effects. His argument: the person with the most “good” alleles and the least “bad” alleles would be the “perfect human.” It just happened that the sample closest to this arbitrary constructed ideal came from a Puerto Rican woman.”
@@Redeemedmed Anyhoo, its just a theory I suppose.
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.
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.
@@netero1682 Saldly, already is infuencing plenty people, especially young people.
Being chronically on internet and with most of streaming plataforms and social medias being american there is a lot of influence.
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.
@@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.
@@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.

Brazil has one of the largest genetic variations in the world. The country has welcomed people from all over the globe, including Arabs, Lebanese, Syrians, Turks, Ukrainians, Poles, Russians, Pomeranians, Chinese, Japanese, Africans from various countries, and many Western Europeans-all mixing together. 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.
This diverse heritage has given my family some very interesting traits. For instance, my grandmother is black but has a significant amount of Indigenous DNA from her mother. My great-grandmother, on the other hand, was as white as a sheet of paper.

This is why I don't like using name of color to refer to race. I prefer to just use geographical area to refer to race origin. European and African is still too broad of a region to pinpoint a certain race, but it's clear where Europe end and Africa start.
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.

It's very common to have different skin colours in the same family in Brazil. Both my grandfathers were black. Both my parents were mixed race but my mother has light skin and my father has darker skin. I was born white as a candle with blond hair. But genetically I'm still 21% West African (according to 23nme). I have a first cousin with very dark skin and her sister has light skin. Another first cousin who is very white and blonde. It's pretty common.

Most Brazilians (and also Latin/Iberan) are of mixd race and native and European Iberian South American descendants and the Portuguese being the majority in second the Spanish (even those of the South, a small portion is descended only from Germans but much later not the foundation because the ones who founded Brasil and create the luso-Brazilian identity were the tree first ) later, when they arrived, Afrcans began to marry and mix with him, being more common in the northeast region, which also has more the mixture of the three races.
Catarina Paraguaçu
Catarina Álvares Paraguaçu was born in Bahia(n the place were the most blacs older afrca concentrate)it is presumed, in 1503. Indigenos Tupinambá, wife of the Portuguese Diogo Álvares Correia, the "Caramuru" and the first woman to establish a family, in terms of Westrn Christan civilization, in Brazil. According to a baptismal certificate, held on July 30, 1528, in France, her real name was "Guaibimpará", according to the record of Friar Santa Rita Durão in his poem Caramuru. 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. It is a genealogical memory that confirms and reaffirms the ethnic identity of Brazilans as descendants of Amerindans
Our vocabulary, the name of the city is states is in the Portuguese language, Catholc and also Tupi-Guarani
This happened because even though they are blacs skin but they are also mix
I’m morena, brown because I’m mix of Portuguese and native amerindians and my niece is blond even though my sister has the same color as me
@@Haitian_VagabondWhy are laughing bstard?
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.)
We latinos roll our eyes every time someone mentions "race" and tries to categorize us in those terms. The entire concept is so backwards.
Concordo com você, tentar caraterizar uma pessoa só demonstra o quão estupido voce precisa ser para ter esse interesse.
But the treatment of Indigenous and Black peoples in majority white south American countries is so backwards. The latinos who 'roll there eyes' are never from those groups.

The term "Latino" was rarely heard until the U.S. Census Bureau started using it for sorting immigrants in the early 2000s. Fast forward twenty-something years, and now it's worn like a badge of pride, with idiots even arguing online about who gets to claim it.
@fanatik9590 Right-"rarely heard" isn’t the same as "never heard". I didn’t say the U.S. Census Bureau invented the term or that it was hiding under a rock. It just wasn’t a standardized or widely used label for demographics until they decided to slap it on us
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. Specially when it comes to northern colonialistic countries like the US. I feel that if I just went to live there and publicly state the fact that I'm from Brazil, people would treat differently. 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.
@@gsprojects8474 Well, I can see your point, but then shouldn't you say the same for Blacks, Whites, Asians, etc.?
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.
So nowadays people who don’t even know the history of that word use it only for Latin America while the definition is different from the one of the US.
They didn’t wanna call us Americans this why they call us Latinos they shoul used the term EuroAmerican on their own.
Thing is, "latino" is not a race, only in united staters minds. We don't see ourselves that way. Another thing, we're also Americans.
In *AMERICA*, latinos choose to identify as white.
I am pretty sure there are more things for you think about in your country than what people in America call themselves. "America" is literally in the name of our country and it is on our money. And right now, you're using our technology. The correct word is "thank you".

Gringos would look like Latinoamericans but they put their amerindian population in reservations and that makes their black vs white narrative prevalent.
And they made those reservations for the few natives that survived the a n n i h i l a t i o n and g e n o c i d e, their ancestors endured from the white settlers stealing their lands. Most USA citizens with native dna are actually mexican-american or have hispanic ancestry 'cause unlike the iberians, the British and the germans considered the native peoples nothing but wild fauna, barely s u b h u m a n.
I mean not really there are other factors at play first of the native population in north america was much smaller compared to south americans, also the europen population between north and south america is kind of different north american eruopeans are primarily northern europeans while south american europeans are primarily of southern european descent, although both parts still have signifcant immigrant populations from the the other side of the european continet the fact the white population is more skewed towards north european in the USA and canada and towards south europeans in latin america would still lead to the difference in looks that you generally find between northern and southern europe

SEE ? THANK YOU. NOT ALL DOMINICANS ARE BLACK. I'm a white Dominican myself, and I believe I shouldn't be discussing my race, when everything that I ONLY TRULY care about is MY NATIONALITY. nationalities DON'T HAVE A COLOR. now, there's a truth Y'ALL can't DENY, and that is that around 70% of Dominicans ARE MIXED RACE, meaning, that they're either mixed to certain patterns = European+Native ancestry, OR, European+African ancestry, AND/OR, European+African+Native ancestry. the common denominator here is an european ancestrial base, not african. there's NOTHING WRONG in clarifying our truth, because if it were a lie, we would succumb to anyone else's distorted perceptions. our dear neighbors do have a major AFRICAN base, and THAT SHOULDN'T BE NOTHING BAD. the thing is that WE SHOULDN'T be squarreling about this ever. race ISN'T A DETERMINATING FACTOR of a person's success. okay ?

Reason why this video is just ridiculous.
nem todos mais uma boa parte sim!
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.
Obviously this all doesn’t rly matter since we’re all humans but it’s interesting to say the least 💯

I think people think brazilians are blacker than we are because most stereotypes from brazil are from Rio, the state with most black people, except for bahia mentioned in the video... Also football players are mostly black and mullatos.
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
To americans mulattos=black. In Brazil being pardo does not mean even mulatto, you can be brown because you're caboclo, índio, mouro or iberian too.

Nós somos caboclos, Jhonata!
The indigenous heritage in Brazil 🇧🇷 is incredibly rich, but don't worry-it’s effectively erased by both white and Black "activists." Since 2010, the Estatuto da Igualdade Racial, a legislative achievement of the Brazilian Black movement, has mandated that ALL MIXED-race "Pardos" (making up 45% of the country) be classified as Black/Afro descendants ONLY. 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!
this is not htat easy. the term pardo isnt used for example in the europe or us. it comes exactly cause brazilians are very mixed.

The asian mixture into this is highly irrelevant, in Brazil's case, less than 1% of the population declares itself as Asian/Japanese (which is around 1,6 million if I'm not mistaken) in the entire country. Fun fact, even in the regions with the most asian influence of the culture and the population in Brazil still has a majority of the ethnicites and mixtures mentioned in the video (basically European, African and Indigenous), so It's highly irrelevant to compare since they are a underwhelming minority.

North America segregated its populations, never mixed as much as the rest of the Americas did, the races were kept "purer".

Latin America has the biggest European, African, Middle Eastern and East Asian diaspora in the world. People came from EVERYWHERE.
I was born in the region of Serra Gaúcha, Southern Brazil, and I took a DNA test:
- 68,9% northern Italian
- 13,4% Southern Italian/greek
- 13,1% german/central europe
- 4,6% French
Yeah pretty much accurate. My family arrived in brazil in 1880 and since the south was mostly empty we didn’t face race mixing as much as other parts of Brazil
Interesting
O Sul do Brasil num geral apresenta cerca de 90% de sangue Europeu. Santa Catarina chega a 99%
Eu sou por aí também. Norte-Italiano e Alemão de igual pra igual, aí uns genes de Judeu no meio
@@umcaraqualquer3640 a serra gaúcha também, difícil encontrar algum branco com mistura. Geralmente se a pessoa branca aqui é 100% europeia, no máximo uns 5/10% indígena
I'm from Minas Gerais, but i live in Santa Catarina
53% Iberian (31% from Minho Portugal, 13% Andalusia Spain and 9% Lisbon);
32% Italic (all Lombardy);
7% sub-Saharan (5% Bantu and 2% Sudanese);
5% Greek;
3% Amerindians
And it's very good how we don't usually have the ideal of pure blood like the idiots in the USA, there, even though I look white, I would have to accept being called mixed.
@@umcaraqualquer3640 Eu morei na parte sul do Brasil e acho que há cidades ou bairros onde as pessoas são muito brancas, semelhantes às dos EUA ou da Europa, mas, em muitos lugares, ainda são de raça mista também
Here in Brazil, although some try, is very hard to say that a person is black or white, because in brazilian families there is black, white and idigenous people, the phenotypes may or may not show.
The same family has different phenotypes, it's crazy how genetics work.

Esse deve ser o único caso aqui nos comentários que o cara fala que é branco, e provavelmente é branco mesmo.
Some people in the comment section are saying that “Latino” is an American word but that’s interesting because I see several people all over Latin America using that word
America didn't even come up with it
"Latino" was successfully invented and used by the French during their short-lived conquest of Mejico, to try to lessen the fact that French, while also a Latin-descended language and culture, is distant enough from Spanish or Portuguese culture as to be totally foreign to Mejico and everywhere else in Iberian America. The gringos adopted latino as a "racial"/linguistic (over) simplifier. I'm old enough to remember that we, all over Iberian America's schools, were taught we were all Iberian Americans, subdivided into Hispanic America and Luso (Portuguese) America. Québec, Haiti, and French Guiana were never mentioned in the lot. They were just as foreign as the English and Dutch colonies.
Then, US imperialism expanded immensely when almost simultaneously the old URSS collapsed, the internet came to be, and the Usians found themselves with a 50 million "Latino" "problem" they keep talking about and polluting the internet with. With so many "Latino" immigrants in the US talking about their daily experiences with their relatives in Iberian America, and the totality of the Iberian American media just monkeying the US one, the misnomer "Latino" gained an illogical and undue but inevitable traction.
You didn't mention Venezuela, but it is one of the most mixed countries on the continent, along with Colombia and Brazil. On the street you will find people with all kinds of features. Although our indigenous population is very low, the interbreeding between indigenous people, Europeans and Africans is very high. For decades, Venezuela was an oasis that received immigrants, including Italians, Portuguese and Spanish.
The most beatiful people of the world are from Latin America, the mix result in beauty.

*Here in Peru 🇵🇪 happens the same, I know one of the most popular and recognizing thing about our image is the Andean citizens of the country, but most of our ppl is mixed, and if you come to the capital is even worse, because there's a lot of Asian (Japanese - Chinese "mostly"), but there's also a big European influence, mostly (Italian-German and French), Perú is the third country with the biggest Italian immigrant community after Brazil and Argentina of course, you can also confirm it with the typical dishes in the country, other example is Oxapampa-Pozuzo that's a region that was founded by The Germans and Austrians, making it the only Austro-German Colony in the World (yes the only one with Germans and Austrian, no only Germans that's why is the only one). My Great-great grandfather was a German soldier from WW1, He's a desertor btw, most of our family have a big German heritage and traditions, we still keep the language and some traditions, I live in Surco district, in Lima (the capital) but also its one of the districts with a larger German descendants communities (if you ask to some ppl the german is still being speaked by some families and zones).*
just want to correct something. Actually Venezuela is the third country that had with the biggest influx of Italian migration. ( Spanish and Portuguese too) Look it up on google. After World War II Venezuela was a prosperous country attracting many European immigrants. they went to Argentina/Uruguay and brazil the most following Venezuela.
There were a lot of Venezuelan of italian descent that have left now though because of the socio-politcal situation but there is a big italo-venezolano culture even that we use for memes.

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.
😂😂 and they wonder why their countries are so poor and full of violence
@saulspanco854 ah sim com certeza o problema da pobreza é a mistura racial e não o fato que a América Latina foi ao longo de séculos uma colônia explorada e/ou vítima de diversos golpes financiados justamente por países de "primeiro mundo" que queriam manter a relação de extração de riquezas benéfica para eles. Se se quer existisse alguma base biológica de estudo sério para essa argumentação sua, mas raça nem se quer é um conceito que realmente existe, quem dirá então mistura de raças.

@@saulspanco854 I disagree. The biggest factor for Latin America to be poor and violent is late industrialization followed by rampant corruption, supported by the interests of 1st world governments. Brazil is violent, but the USA is not so far from the statistics.

I love how diverse Latinos are! Some countries more than others! My family a mixture of all these. Some of my cousins are brown but with lighter skinned parents, and others are white, with one or both parents being a bit more brown. Genetics can be random and produce amazing phenotypic outcomes.

2% Sardinian
1% Indigenous Yucatan

A portion of Latin Americans are White Hispanics because of their high percentage of Spanish ancestry. Both sides of my family are from Mexico, but most of our heritage and genealogy come from Spain. The majority of my family looks like White Spaniards.
Only a small amount of Spanish women went to Mexico
@@tbrown4080 True. One of my earliest ancestors was a woman from Toledo, Spain.
Let me explain, almost all White Hispanics have Amerindian Haplogroups, they can be racially 95% White but they still have Amerindian genetic markers, this happens with White Argentines.
The first wave of Spanish migration was almost entirely made up of men, who had mestizo children. These mestizo children mixed again with later waves of Spanish or other European migrants, giving rise to the White Hispanics. This explains why the majority of racially White Hispanics have Amerindian mitochondrial DNA.
@@user-yt3xd2jl6d
It also happens with white Americans, not just white Argentines.
in latin america nobody cares about race, nationality matter most, so for example if someone calls himself a latino, african, italian, etc but was born in usa, everybody will call you gringo here despite your ethnicity (even if you look like a latino)

You sure can understand Spanish if you give it a try.

You say Portuguese is your favorite language and yet I am sure you are incapable of conjugating common verbs with accuracy. Have you uttered the basic word “este“ once in your entire life? Guess not, eh? “Esse“ 100% of the time, yes?

As if you knew anything at all about any other languages.
I'm Puerto Rican and my 23andme results were 72% European, 15% Indigenous, 8% West African, and 3% West Asian. I wish you would've spoken about us. 75% of Puerto Ricans identified as white in the 2010 census, while in 2020 only 17% identified as white. We're an interesting case study on shifts in racial self-perception.
It is true that in Argentina there is a lot of European descent, but it can also vary depending on the province. I am from Salta (northern province) and here there are many people of Bolivian and indigenous descent, as well as Jujuy.
Yeah, you could say so 👍
Mexico does not ask people their race on their census. The 31% Amerindian population figure comes from the CIA. Mexico does ask about languages spoken at home. Just over 10% speak an Amerindian language at home but some of those also speak Spanish. If the Mexican census did ask people their race the vast majority would probably say Mestizo.
The Mexican government doesn't ask but there are other ways to check. Usually Universities and Hospitals can conduct studies with the data they do have. 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. I don't personally consider my culture European but something mixed and I just wish the US would think of us that way as opposed to aliens from mars or a white people of some kind apparently. We have strong native roots on this continent but also roots from all over the world.
@@Jorora_Dev Few days ago there were a lot of black americans saying that a white girl wasn't white because she was latina 😬 Can you think of a latino telling a black person telling them they are not American because they are black instead of white?
@@Jorora_Dev University and Hospital studies are nowhere near as accurate as a well done census. All countries in the Western Hemisphere have loan words from local Amerindian tribes. I speak Mexican Spanish and I can understand Columbians and Chileans just fine. There may be a word here and there that I don't understand in the same way there are British words I don't understand as a speaker of American English. But I can ask for clarification and we then understand each other. The vast majority of Mexicans speak a European language and practice a European religion. Those are just facts. Germany has had contributions to their culture from Turkey to Syria. Doesn't make them not German or not European.
god bless the cia for doing that study, it’s interesting
For every indigenous person that speaks their language there are another few which although still connected to their ancestry do not speak the language. This applies in most of the Americas including Mexico. Languages are not being passed down but people can remain connected through family. But that on it's own is not a reliable indicator of the indigenous population.

I'm Paraguayan(Spanish and Guarani), we're mostly a mestizo nation, to the extent that there are some regions that only speak Guarani. Moreover, the Guarani language, is one of the official languages, along with Spanish. There's also some Italian and Portuguese strands as well. I imagine northern Argentina would have more Guarani influence.
I read Paraguay are the most homogenous latin American country, with 95% of population are mestizo, range from balance mestizo to castizo
The central area and Buenos Aires are mostly Italian and Spanish, the East is a mix of French and Spanish, and Patagonia is mix Spanish / German and Nordic. The north is mostly Amerindian and slightly African. And finally, the northwest of Argentina (NOA) is a mix of everything, being a port area, so they had sex with everyone before going to other places, similar to what happened in Buenos Aires, and it is the only region that has Guaraní Amerindians and Portuguese.
@bakteribaik156, Probably true. Paraguay once had an official policy of mandated “inter racial” marriage (was officially forbidden to marry within your own race). It’s was done with the intent of increasing social cohesion. I don’t know of any other country that ever had a law like that.
Why USA citizens are obssesed with classify people belong to a single race?In "latin" América the vast majority of habitants are mixed: european,amerindian and african,so we dont identify ourselves as birracial triracial,We are mestizo .

Very interesting! I'm a Brazilian pardo. I didn't know that most africans brought to the Americas were from West Africa and that Brazil has a higher proportion of East Africans.
Consider me impressed by the quality of the research in this video. As a Colombian who is studying political science, I can tell you that the conversation around race in Latin America is different from the one in the USA and Europe (who, in the academic world, seem to be the only ones talking about it… probably because they ARE the academia). And the implications of racial and ethnic geographic and historical distribution on today’s systemic oppression dynamics can’t simply be analyzed in the “American” theoretical and conceptual framework. This video helps to open that framework, so thank you.
