- These are the different races of the Hispanic group. Hispanic is not a race, only culture/ethnicity. This video was designed for education purposes only, not to smear the reputation of any race. Some believe that Hispanic and Latino are races. This video debunks that idea. Please enjoy.

82 people are pissed because they just found out Hispanic was not really their race and have to redefine themselves.

correction, most in the U.S. are mixed, but in Latin America most are white and in second place are mixed mestizos. Some in Latin America have Amerindian admixture, some don't. Also, all of Spain are white Hispanics.
***** Did you watch the video? Mestizos are people that are mixed race of European and Amerindian, they are not just Amerindian. I said most people in Latin America are white because according to censuses taken of the area, the largest race is white, but following closely is mestizo, the mixed race I explained to you, and the one most found among U.S. Hispanics (because most are Mexican descent and most Mexicans are mestizo of some sort). Afromestizos make up a smaller proportion of Latin America. When I said most were white, I mean't native born whites, just like how white Americans are. But most whites in Latin America are of predominantly Southern European ancestry rather than predominantly Northern European ancestry like white Americans. And when I said Spain are white Hispanics, I meant the great majority of Spain that are native Spaniards, not immigrants, c'mon....use your head.
Not really, you can always tell who is Hispanic if you are one.
I've only been asked about being Hispanic by other Hispanics, non Spanish speaking people think i'm white.

Mestizo is a person that is a mix of significant European and Amerindian DNA. There are different types of mestizos and I will list them: castizo-75% Euro & 25% Amerind, harnizo-70% Euro & 30% Amerind, balanced mestizo- 50% Euro & 50% Amerind and indiomestizo-75% Amerind & 25% Euro. Now of course mestizos are not as cut and dry anymore like this, but it would be just up to discretion per say if one was like 72% and 28% Euro. But this is when using genetics. Upon identifying people in public socially, castizo and harnizo is not generally used and people just identify them as mestizos for the whole group. So in Latin America, there are full to near full races like white or Native American or black and then there are the mixed races like mestizo, mulato, zambo and afromestizo.
According to several censuses taken of Latin America, the majority of Latin America consists of white Latin Americans (Latin Americans of full or near full European ancestry, it could be Spain or France or Italy or Germany or any mix of European ancestries). The second largest race is mestizo, which is almost as many in number as the whites, just slightly less. This is the race that makes up the majority of Latin Americans in the U.S., hence why most people in the U.S. see Latin Americas as brown people, because mestizos are a mix of European and Amerindians and have a brownish color. The rest of Latin America is made up of minority populations of other races like Native American, black, mulato, afromestizo, zambo and even some very small ones like Middle Easterners and East Asians. Spain on the other hand is mainly made up of native Spaniards whom are white Europeans. But there are tiny minority populations living in Spain which include Middle Easterners, Latin Americans of any race and others.
Pac Oo
By Hispanic what do you mean? Because Hispanics are not one race of people and can be any race and can be the same races that are found in the U.S.. So do you mean mestizo? Like a brown type Hispanic? I suppose you mean like the average Mexican type. There are many Hispanics that do not fit that description and would look like white Americans or black Americans because there are some Hispanics that are black or white.
And also: Latin american and hispanic are NOT the same thing. Not everyone in Latin America speak spanish.
They seem to think that everyone in Latin America is of Spanish descent. There are East Asian Latin Americans, Native Latin Americans, unmixed black Latin Americans whose ancestry has nothing to do with Europe.
@@radrook4481 You raise your eyes towards something more important than race: cultural ties, the way of looking at life. That is hispanity. From a Hispanic point of view, race and geographical origin do not matter at all.
In California, American Indians are forever referred to as Hispanic. It's bizarre..... In Minnesota American Indians aren't referred to as Anglo because they speak English, for example. But for some reason if an American Indian grew up speaking Spanish, he's suddenly miraculously become Hispanic, lol.
But "Hispanic" and "Hispanophone" are two different words with two different meanings. I've never heard anyone say, "I got this book from the new guy, the 'Hispanophone' that moved here from Oregon..."
indigenous people in south america are not hispanics
Joe Taz probably because Native Americans look similar to many mestizos she whom are Hispanic.
Amigo Chevere Indigenous Americans are not Hispanics, no. No matter where they live.
Joe Taz Well the US government picked the wrong word to give to the Latin American immigrants. They should have used Hispanophone. Because real Hispanics are from Spain/Portugal.
Lol, do you know that the United States has this fixation on Hispanics only looking like mestizos? Colombian actress Sofia Vergara has been told many times to die her hair black for U.S. movie/television roles and to tan more, because they thought she didn't look "Hispanic" enough. That's so stupid, because she's got a true Hispanic look, one you can find in Spain easily, and guess what? It's not a mestiza look, it's a Latin white woman. When it comes to education about race vs. nationality vs. ethnicity, the U.S. is dead last. It makes me sad because I am an American. I'm a Spanish-American, but I'm still an American.
I could not agree more:) I have had people telling me that the Portuguese can't be blond or redhead, have light eyes or have a pale skin. I like to tell them, considering I am pale as snow and have green eyes I am most certainly imaginary, like all the Portuguese out there blond or redheaded with green or blue eyes lol
Morganna Very true. It's because of the media stereotype image of what a Portuguesa should look like. They do the same about Spaniards, whom are my people. Saludos.
IslenoGutierrez I would say i am curious of how the US defines Hispanic. I always considered Hispanics as the the descendants of what was Hispania,the Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula ( the name was also used in the period of Visigothic rule from A.D 418. to 720 ) Spain, Portugal, Andorra. In that case the Portuguese speaking Brazilians are also Hispanic due to Portuguese colonization. How is Hispanic defined in America?
Morganna I see it the same as you, but in the United States, the English speaking white Americans have dubbed people from Latin America as "Hispanics" and their stereotypical image of Hispanic is the mestizo race (European/Native American Indian mixed race). And to make matters worse, the white Americans say that Spaniards are not Hispanics (but some see Spaniards as Hispanic). And to make things worse than that, they think Hispanic is an actual race that looks like the mestizos and they compare Hispanic to other races like white or black. It's ignorance. And to top it off, U.S. born Americans of Latin American heritage take this definition from white Americans and they enforce it vigorously. U.S. Americans of Latin American heritage are now the #1 cause of the spread of "Hispanic race" identity. It'a all ignorance. To me, Hispanic=Spaniard/Portuguese/Andorran.
Morganna I agree with you. I see Hispanics as Spaniards, Portuguese, Andorrans, and their descendants from Latin america. I see Latinos as anyone who is of ancestry anywhere the Romans ruled since the languages in those areas come from Latin and the people have the blood of Romans and the native populations. Although in America where I live Latinos and Hispanics are just Spaniards and people from Latin america.
you forgot to put Salma hayek and Shakira as middle eastern
ju mp My daughter is half arab :D she's my little shakira

Thanks for making this video! I am currently teaching my 6th graders somethings about Latin America and this will certainly open their minds to the various cultural groups there.
Thank you for this, this completely explains the fact that Hispanic is an ethnicity and not a race. I applaud you. Very well done

very good video. Good luck with the explanations to USA people who don't understand that hispanic is not a race : there are black hispanics, white hispanics, mixed hispanics, native hispanics, and even asians hispanics. And also good luck with some people in Hispano America and Spain who don't understand that much hispanoamericans are whites or at least half whites (mixed with natives or black people). Be patient my friend ; )
+0disseos Thank you for passing by and watching the video. Thanks also for the support. If you would help pass this video around to those who need the education about what Hispanic is in the American continent.
It isn't lack of understanding. It is a stubborn refusal to concede the point because it feels unpatriotic to do so.
hispanic is not a race
I'm mexican american and look mostly native american.
I'd suggest doing a DNA test. Even very native looking mestizos score around half European. Take a DNA test, you will then know. Sometimes DNA does split so perfectly and can produce one child that looks more native and another that looks more Euro from the same percentage of each of the two elements. George Lopez is just over half Euro, Dolores Huerta is just under half Euro and Mario Lopez is 70% Euro. But also take in mind, a person mixed Amerind/Southern Euro will be darker with darker features than an Amerind/Northern Euro mestizo type would.
IslenoGutierrez, Thats true. For instance my mom looks Amerindian with curly hair like my grandpa but my aunt looks lighter skinned with straight hair like my grandma. So you never know the outcome. My dad is half Gabrielino native american. He actually took a DNA test and has records to prove it through his family. I want to do a DNA test eventually. Do you know any good DNA websites?
23andme is the most solid one, I'd suggest them. it would seem both your parents are mestizo (Amerinds don't have curly hair), so it's best you take a DNA test. You could probably be around 40% Native American. You may be closer to a balanced mestizo, but you never know, could have more or less of each.
Thanks I will try it out. I'm sure they are Mestizo. I don't think any modern Mexican Americans are pure Native or European. So much mixing through out the centuries. So I think it's good to acknowledge and embrace both the Amerindian and European ancestors.
Good for you. Don't ever let any of those racist type mestizos talk you into hating your European ancestry and pretending to be an Indian. There are some out there and on here like that. It's just wrong and living a lie. Be true to yourself no matter what you find, that's living the truth. Embrace whatever you find, because it's what makes you, you. I wish you luck and go with 23andme.com. That's the best one.
Although this video makes sence, we in Latin America learned to accept that there are small difference among us, but those differences are not a big deal. I am the mestizo type, however I did not care about that, and I was not really aware of this fact, up until I came to the USA. Where Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Jews, etc.figh for their spaces in society. The real melting pot does not happen in the USA, they real mix of races happen in LatinAmerica....
+Abraham Barrientos I"m from Mexico, I did not know I looked like a mix of Black( Creole) till Afroamerican girls in High School would pose the question. I did my DNA test at ancestry.com and BINGO I"m mixed if Native American 49% Northern European 38% and African 13%. I'm very proud of my ancestry.
teresaguerrasalazar Creole is not a race in the USA. There are white Creoles and mulatto Creoles. Creole in the US just means a descendant of the French and/or Spanish settlers of colonial Louisiana (US state of Louisiana). In Spanish-speaking Latin America, Creole is spelled criollo and means a white Latin American (usually of Spanish descent).
YOU make no sense at all. I guess the pride that you have being Latina.Sorry if you took the Spanish names and culture away from these people in this video they represent the everyday United States of America. Sorry race mixing has been going on since before Jesus. So no the real race mixing does not start of happening with Hispanic or Latinos. AN yes Latinos /Hispanics have a colorism /racism issue in their community so don't act like it just starts in the USA.
I don't understand the American's obsession with race and ethnicity.
Jaclyn Ortega Please don’t listen to that person, he’s causing trouble on my videos. The USA is obsessed with race because it’s been part of the history of the USA from day one.
Some of the White and Black Race selections you had I'm sure are mixed with Indigenous people. Hispanics, Latinos, Spanish, or whatever you are calling them this week is not a race, and it is a culture, and for that reason they are more united, regardless of race. Of course there is racism, but it is not as prevalent.
Let me say this....you are only saying this because they are from Latin America and you are prejudging Latin Americans as a "mixed people". If I would have posted the races of the United States, you would have never said anyone was mixed with anything, you would have just accepted some were white, some were black, etc. No race on earth is pure, but there are many that are pretty damn close to being homogenous. These people in the video are in these categories according to phenotype, which is exactly what is done in the United States. Most Black Americans are partially white, but no one ever brings up they are a mixed race. Black Americans are seen as blacks. And millions of white Americans have some Native American ancestry thrown in like Chuck Norris, Heather Locklear, Johnny Depp, Elvis Presley, Tommy Lee Jones, etc. but no one is bringing this up saying they are "mixed" or nonwhite. They are seen as whites and the blacks in the U.S. are seen as blacks. No questions asked. But bring up the same categories from Latin America, and all of a sudden they are "mixed people". Lol, gimme a break. These people are just as much white as white Americans and black as black Americans and just as Native as Native Americans, etc. I listed the races and mixed races. This video is correct.
Somewhat when it comes to race, Latino is a culture not just one race, though it has been socially acceptable to consider it a race.
Marz916
Hispanic is viewed as a race in the U.S. only. Latin America don't used the term Hispanic or Latino. The new pope of the Vatican is from Argentina and it's been reported that he never heard of the term Latino.
DaBigSun Interesting.
And yeah, race is an important label in the US. I just consider myself American, and most importantly, just human.
Marz916 Quite possible, some may have a touch here and their, but so do white Americans and black Americans, but does that stop people in the U.S. from calling them whites or blacks? Understand my point. If you are predominantly of one race, and your phenotype reflects this, you are seen as that race in society. Whites such as Pitbull and Andy Garcia are whites just like Paris Hilton and Brad Pitt. People such a Heather Locklear have Native American admixture, but are predominantly white and look white. Are you gonna tell me you don't see Heather Locklear as a white woman? C'mon.
Thank You so much for making this video! People can understand that Hispanics can come from various races
BTW, thank you for posting this video.
♡
SheRises From The 7th mountain You are quite welcome.
As you can see by my features. I can confidently define myself as mestizo, but with middle eastern ancestory, possibly by Moors in Spain.
I'd have to see a front facing pic of you. I don't see any Middle Eastern Features from that side view, but there could be some in the mix. You never know, you'd have to DNA test. From that side view, you look to be a European dominant mestizo, maybe like castizo-harnizo range. What country is your heritage from? Moors were not that common in Latin America although some did make it there. But there were some Lebanese immigrants long ago that settled certain areas. But I don't see anything Middle Eastern about you from the side pic though. Sometimes a castizo-harnizo type can give off a pseudo-Middle Eastern phenotype without any Mideast admixture. So I recommend a DNA test. Again, from the side pic you have in your avatar, you look to be a lightly mixed mestizo of predominantly European origin, most probably in the castizo/harnizo range.
IslenoGutierrez Do you know what is the best DNA test to take?
Cecil Noriega There are few good ones. Most people take 23andme, but I know some that have taken family tree DNA. But you want the best results? Take one of those and get your raw data and run it through the genetic calculators on gedmatch.com.
You dont really have the semetic nose . And latinos barley score middle eastern or NA unless their ancestors migrated to latin america so you might have it from there. In argentina theres an amount of lebanese community.
when you say Moor you mean black?
Ah, I'm so glad you decided to try and correct me, so I can enlighten you a little bit. The appropriate term is not Indian, as that is the appropriate term of the ethnic group of the South Asian country of India. Native American denotes a native of America. And since America is the continent, not just the USA, it's very appropriate to call them natives of the continent of America. Canada has their way of calling Amerindians, as many places. But calling them Native American is correct.
Mexicans are native American and native to the north American continent our ancestors have been on these lands since the beginning of time we are not the immigrants white people are the immigrants
You look white....
Mexicans come in 4 main races: mestizo, Native American, afromestizo or white (criollo). To me Anita, your appearance is of a European dominant mestiza, which means you are predominantly white with minor Native American ancestry. I'd bet you were about 70% European, 30% Native American. I have access to many Mexican DNA test results if you would like to see them. The country of Mexico is about 60% mestizo, 30% Native American, 9% white and 1% other which includes afromestizos and smaller minorities like Lebanese and East Asians. But your phenotype is a predominantly European mestiza. I suggest you look into a DNA test. try the company 23andme, they are one of the best commercial DNA testing company.
El Matador She doesn't even look "Mestiza" because that's basically 50/50, mixed. I agree, she looks more White, but being more predominately White makes her a "Castiza" instead, so she's that.
Tyler Nordstrom
Actually to me she looks harniza, not even castiza, but castizo and harnizo are not really words that are in average use anymore and all Euro/Amerind people are just referred to as mestizo these days. That's why I said she looks like a European dominant mestiza (which would imply a harniza or castiza). But nevertheless, she has strong European ancestry as you can see it in her phenotype.
*****
This is nonsense. If you were familiar with genetic studies and genetic testing by both universities and anthropology teams, you would understand that genetic testing is real and we have plenty of knowledge about it. There is also a set of genetic calculators (per gedmatch) and that give information on population genetics. I can give you several links to many Mexican DNA tests, also studies on Mexican populations that show most of them are European dominant at a rate of around 60%-70% Euro. There are of course mestizos with a more balanced 50%/50% genetic profile and even some with predominantly Amerind backgrounds like around 60%, but the vast majority of Mexican mestizos are predominantly European. Also, mestizo is a name for the particular Euro/Amerind mixed race. It's not used to oppress anyone in the 21st century and is still in use. I'v seen hundreds of DNA test results of Mexican mestizos and they average around 70% European/ 30% Native American. I can surely prove it. There are also many professional studies done on Mexicans that I can also supply you with that show Mexicans on average are majority European with a minority of Amerindian blood. Do not attempt to poison this girl's mind with conspiracy theories, racism and a victimhood complex.
Thank you for accurately portraying the races of the Hispanics!
I'm glad that you made this video because there are a lot of ignorant people when it comes to race and ethnicity especially when speaking of Hispanics.
Yes, I used to live in Tampa, Florida and lots of Puerto Ricans live there. I had many Puerto Rican friends and they are sooooo much like us Canarians that it's unreal. Their ways, accents, traditions, cooking, etc. I was like wow when I first seen this. And also, I took a DNA test and I was linked to a couple of Puerto Ricans that I'm related to. Apparently someone from my family broke off and went to Puerto Rico at some point and started a family. PR had lots of Canarian immigrants.
And the ones that are most common to see are Mestizos
Most common to see in some countries, yes. It I made this for americans because many of them thought hispanic was a race with the mestizo phenotype only. Yes, mestizos are also the most common type in the USA too, but some are whites like the cubans and some are blacks like some dominicans
Filipinos were left out again. Las Islas Filipinas (the Philippines) was once known as the Spanish East Indies and was part of Spain for almost 400 years -- longer than most LatAm countries, except Cuba and Puerto Rico. In fact the Philippines was named after King Philip II of Spain, thus the name. That makes the Philippines and its people truly Hispanic.
Joseph Libatíque That why PHILIPPINE IS NOT NEVER WOS A LATIN COUNTRY IS FUCK ASIAN COUNTRY
WE RE LATINOS PEOPLE FROM LATIN AMERICANNN
Do you understand ?
WE REEEE LATINOS
YOU NOOOOOOOO
You are not at all fuck off
even the Philippines was name by the king philip.and the culture mostly are influence by the spain.or mi lenguaje chabacano tiene poco espanol!i don't want to be part of latin.and i'm proud filipino&asian.i know!mostly the latin people hate the filipinos.😭pero yo te amo con el gente de latin✌mabuhay ang filipinas🙌viva el espania🙌
Joseph Libatíque Filipinos are not truly Hispanic. The Spanish language never replaced the indigenous Austronesian languages like what happened to Latin America and even today, Austronesian languages are very dominant. Spanish was the official language though and the lingua franca for 300+ years but it didn't stay because when the Americans arrived, they replaced it with English which stayed to this day. Spanish DNA also has very low contribution to modern Filipino DNA unlike Latin Americans. I would consider Philippines as "Hispanicized" though because Hispanic culture penetrated deeply into Filipino society so much that Philippine culture seems to resemble Latin American culture more than Indonesia and Malaysia.
that's a negative bro
there's an interesting structure to this video: it goes from the most white to the least white, and from the most western to the least western. i wonder why? it may not have been a conscious decision, to present the groups in that specific order, but especially if it wasn't (conscious), that is sure some food for thought.
This video is awesome, now I know that there are people who do know a thing or two about the difference between race and ethnicity. Many people still see ethnic and religious groups as race.
We are indigenous people the original inhabitants of this continent!!
Blacks are
MrSivram28 lol
I've seen a lot of Asian looking Hispanics 😊
+Mecah Ray That's because Native Americans are somewhat a branch of the Asian group
+Mecah Ray Like The Filipinos!
That's because most of those Asian looking hispanics have native American blood in them. There's some Filipinos that have Spanish last names.
+PUSSY laughing my ass off
+PUSSY due to occupation of the Philippines. I don't understand the comment "100% Mexican". do you mean they come from Mexico?
A true video. Hispanics, or Latinos are not a race. I am a Peruvian of Chinese descent. In Peru, in Pozuzo, Oxapampa, Villa Rica,, the Peruvians are of German, and Austrian descent, many blue eyes and blond hair. In Chincha, Southern Peru, many are of black African descent. In Peru they are many Japanese and Chinese descent Peruvians too.
Jack Lee Yes this is true. But this video is mainly for Americans of the USA because they often believe Latino/Hispanic is a race of brown people that look like mestizos. Which is not the truth. So this is education forAmericans from the USA.
Isleno, I dont know how you come up with a definite categorization especially when it comes to defining the mestizo group, Im sure you are aware that in Spain itself there are several ethnic groups and among them are people with even darker skin than the ones you listed as mix native and white. its a very thin line you are dealing with and unless you have these people undergo a DNA test you cant make the same mistake as most Americans make by calling the darker ones mestizo ( native white) although they may very well be in most cases.
Well I am aware of the types of people in Spain, as I'm Spanish-American and my family came to the U.S. from there. In Spain there are some different ethnic groups such as the Basques, but basically most Spaniards are Celtiberian, which is a mix of Celtic and Ancient Iberian. After the reconquista when the Spaniards expelled the Moors from the south, much of the south was vacant and was repopulated by migration of Northern Spaniards into the south. So because of this, you can find the same people all thoughout Spain: Celtiberian. Some have a touch of North African and some don't, but it's only small and does not exceed 3% usually.
You mention there are darker ones in Spain than some mestizos. Well that is true, as a mestizo may get a lighter skin tone from a lighter part of the Celtiberian ancestry from Spaniards and the Spaniard got the darker part of the Celtiberian ancestry. But that's now where you define race. You define race in the facial features. A mestizo can be lighter than a Spaniard, but in the face they will not look fully European where a Spaniard will. There are "darker types" in Spain and lighter types, but this is just from the Celtiberian ancestry usually, as those with darker looks have more of the Ancient Iberian component that has surfaced in their phenotype, and the lighter ones have more of the Celtic component that has surfaced in their phenotype. In Spain, you can have darker ones and lighter ones in the same family. But they are all whites. White is not a skin tone identifier, but a racial identification. And since Europeans are seen as white and Spaniards are Southern European, they are whites. White was never created to pit Europeans against themselves of fair skin vs. olive skin, but was created in the late 16th century in the New World to identify Europeans in contrast to black West Africans and red/brown Amerindians. In Europe, there is both fair skin and olive skin, light hair and dark hair, light eyes and dark eyes.
I did not make these categorizations up, they exist in Latin America. I just made a video to teach them to people who don't know about them and think all Hispanic people are supposed to be mestizo looking and look like Santana or Cheech Marin or something. There can be a thin line when comparing whites and castizos, but not whites and harnizos or balanced mestizos and certainly not from indiomestizos, Amerinds, mulattoes or blacks. Castizo is 3/4 Euro and 1/4 Amerind, Harnizo is 2/3 Euro and 1/3 Amerind and indiomestizo is 2/3-3/4 Amerind and 1/3/-1/4 European. They are different types of mestizo and belong to the "mestizo" racial category. But today, people rarely use those terms and just use mestizo for any people that is a substantial mixture of Euro and Amerind.
*****
Only ignorant people are trying to do that. Spanish people are Europeans, just like other Europeans. If you look in DNA tests, North African DNA is barely present at only 2% in the population and many don't even have any. Germans shouldn't be so proud since it's a fact that small percentages of Siberian blood has been found in the blood of Northern Europeans. But again, all of these small traces are nothing. Most people around the world have a percent or two of something. Spaniards are whites just like other Europeans.
*****
Well I myself truly believe that coastal North Africans (the white looking kind) as well as Levantines (the indigenous kind, not the kind very admixed with genetics from the Arabian Peninsula) I believe these two groups to be white. I just believe them to be Mediterranean Caucasoids, just like Europeans from the Mediterranean areas of Europe, but just a little different. The Caucasoid race is one really, but if you look at it, Europe, coastal North Africa and the Levant are more like Europeans, where Indians, Pakistanis and Arabians are a little less like Europeans although they are still Caucasoids and more like Europeans when compared to East Asians or black Africans. But often, "white" is exclusively used for Europeans in most places, but in some regions, coastal North Africans and Levantines are considered white.
In Latin America, whites are Europeans, Levantines and coastal North Africans. In the US, the definition used by the government is that white is any peoples with origins in Europe, the Middle East or North Africa (although the American society only views Europeans as whites.) So really it depends on what you believe. But yes, many Levantines (area around Lebanon, Syria, Israel) do in fact look white. Often Ashkenazi Jews are seen as whites in most places also.
*****
Same thing in the USA. Even though the Turk or Moroccan looks just as white as the European, society views them as non-white because society in the USA views whites to only be from Europe. But what people need to understand is, the Caucasoid race is like a gradualization from the light types such as those from Europe, Anatolia and the Levant and coastal North Africa then the medium types like those from the Arabian peninsula to Iran then there are the darker type Caucasoid like the Pakistanis, Afghans and Indians.
White as a race usually is exclusively used for Europeans, so many people think that those outside of Europe even though they look similar to Europeans are not white because they are not European. But genetics cross man made borders often and I believe those of Turkey, the Levant and coastal North Africa are closely enough related to Europeans to be considered white. but that's just my personal belief. Most people in the world see "whites" as Europeans and their full or near full blooded descendants around the world and if you are not from Europe, you are not white. That's the basic belief of most people in the western world.
*****
Well Turks can look just as European as Europeans, and some can look just as Middle Eastern as Middle Easterners. Actually Turkey is the buffer zone between Europe and the Middle East. But they are actually mixed with both ancestries. But it's all on what you believe. If you believe the white race ends at the Greek border with Turkey, then that's your belief. That's usually the believe of most Americans, and even most Europeans.
But there are some that include Turks as whites, too. It's all on what you believe. If you look at the genetics of Europeans, from Ireland to Greece, they share the same types of genetic ancestries, but in different percentages, but Turkey on the other hand has a different looking DNA picture. It's European-like, but there are some differences. They are like the intermediate between Europe and the Middle East, just as their geographical position dictates.
Yes, I am the creator of that video "The Origin of Caribbean Spanish accents" and I took all the clips from clips of Canary Islanders speaking. Not one of the clips is of a Puerto Rican at all. It's just that Puerto Rico's accent was mainly influenced by us, so that's why ya'll sound like us. So much that you thought some of the accents were Puerto Ricans speaking. I'm also an American, which I'm proud to be. I'm a Canarian Spanish-American.
@Anonymous I don’t care
@Anonymous I have no Indian ancestry. My ancestors were from the Canary Islands of Spain

+Ricardo Gonzales they are Latinos, because many of the come from Portugal which its called peninsula ibérica
+Ricardo Gonzales Ibéric peninsula was called hispania by romans and all was the same kingdom till Portugal got separated around 1000 years ago....
for all that don't know enough history north african weren't the pale ones you see now and African ruled Spain and Portugal for the better part of eight hundred years so believe me that area were they came from had mixture
agreed
Pitbull and Ricky Martin aren't white, they are considered white because they are 7/8 European, but you can still see those Amerindian traits. I did some research and I guess you would call them rather Criollo's. I know in countries like Cuba and Puerto Rico, where these 2 artists come from, it's a normal occurence to describe Criollo people as white.
Pitbull and Ricky Martin are whites. You wouldn't be questioning the whiteness of a white American, even those white Americans to have known Amerindian admixture like Johnny Depp, Heather Locklear, Megan Fox, Cindy Crawford, Tommy Lee Jones, Chuck Norris, Elvis Presley and others. Pitbull and Ricky Martin do not have Amerindian features, they look like Spaniards.
And criollo is a nickname for whites of the Americas, especially Latin America. Criollos were the native born whites of two European born parents, usually from Spain.
IslenoGutierrez ''Criollos were the native born whites of two European born parents, usually from Spain.'' Weren't they called and defined as Peninsulares? I don't know really, except for that definitions have changed a lot over the past few centuries. For example the word Hispanic: it used to refer only to people who were born on the Iberian Peninsula, while nowadays it refers to anyone who is born in a Spanish speaking country.
I have to disagree with you on that though: Pitbull and Ricky Martin are white and Spaniards. If you are considered, it doesn't mean you are really or actually white. Maybe you are then an American white but not a European standard white. I have been on holiday many times to Spain, to cities like Barcelona, Bilbao, Malaga, Cordoba, Madrid etc: and know for instance the people there don't look like Pitbull or Ricky Martin. They have something that only Amerindian people have and can share when mixed.
I know the line between Mestizo, Castizo, Criollo and white is blurred, so I understand and accept your opinion that you think, because they are still of European descent, they are all white.
*****
I have to disagree. I've lived in Spain for several years, my family in fact is from Spain originally. There are people that look 100% like Pitbull and Ricky Martin in Spain. They are whites.
As for criollos, they are native born Europeans. Peninsulares were the Spaniards born in Spain that lived in Latin America. I'm criollo. There are many whites in Latin America. Mostly they are Argentines, Uruguayans, white Cubans, white Puerto Ricans, white Venezuelans, white Colombians, white Costa Ricans, white Chileans, etc. White is the largest race in Latin America, mestizo is the second largest. But in the U.S., mestizo is the largest because most Latinos in the U.S. come from poor immigrants and most were from Mexicans. Most Mexicans are mestizo and the ones that came to the U.S. were poor and mestizo. Most Puerto Ricans that came to the U.S. were poor and in Puerto Rico, most poor are afromestizos/blacks, because white Puerto Ricans are usually well off. The only large scale white Latino group in the U.S. are the Cubans.
IslenoGutierrez For the fact your surname is Spanish and you have lived in Spain, I accept your view! ;)
Still, it doesn't change the fact that in Cuba and Puerto Rico it's quite common for today's considered white people to have an Amerindian ancestor. So there is a high chance that Pitbull or Ricky Martin are Criollo: definition: except for European no more than 1/8 of another race. This means they would not be pure white or European. So, I have to disagree with you on this, but I do still respect your opinion. :)
You are right though about Peninsulares, I guess I misread the information. x-) The Criollo's were the people who were born in Latin America and had European ancestry, mixed with no more than 1/8 Amerindian, Black or Asian ancestry. I guess because the line between whiteness have been blurred over the past few centuries, you can call them white though, although it is still disputable. I mean, if you have an Amerindian ancestor, you can't say or claim you are pure European or white: but that is for another debate. :)
***** Are you just frickin' blind or can't you see it? Lol yourself! Have you not read what I wrote, clearly not, they are NOT WHITE! Pitbull has his facial features and hair. I can't help it that he shaved himself bald to make him look more European and white. Ricky Martin has his facial features as well and his skin color. Maybe you just aren't smart enough to see the difference, same like the Americans; thinking Spanish people look like Mexican Mestizo's. They do not look like, for example Jennifer Lopez or Gloria Estefan either, as caucasian or European. They may appear, but they are nothing like real whites from Spain and continental Europe.
i believe all hispanics living in the USA and American need to see this
I made it for them because many Americans think hispanic is a race that only has the mestizo phenotype
Another good topic to address. Hispanics in the USA are not all Mexicans. We are proud Colombians, Guatemalan, Argentian, Puerto Ricans, Salvadoran, Cuban ect. Ect.
Proud mestizo mix with Italian,Irish, Slican, Spanish, and native blood.
Raul Montoya Ever thought about getting a DNA test? I have access to lots of DNA tests for mestizos from 23andme (DNA testing company) and they range from being a proper or near proper mestizo (1/2 Euro and 1/2 Amerind) to harnizo (2/3 Euro and 1/3 Amerind) to castizo ( 3/4 Euro and 1/4 Amerind. Some even were predominantly Amerind (like 60 Amerind/40 Euro), but the vast majority were predominantly European. You look like a predominantly European mestizo, around the harnizo/castizo variety.
El Matador yeah I would love to take DNA test to know what else I got in me
Raul Montoya
I took one. I'm an American of Spanish ancestry (Canary Islands of Spain) and I took one and I found that I was 90% European and 10% North African.
+El Matador where do you get one of these test from
How the hell are you a mestizo??? mestizo are 50% white and 50% Amerindian. You're probably a castizo and don't even know what a Castizo is.
You sound dumb.
Very interesting video. This thing of painting with a broad brush is a politically correct thing. An effort to create demographics that can be addressed and controlled as a homogeneous mass for political reasons. All these names really mean nothing. The races are White, Black, Asian, Native (indigenous) indian, and then the mixed races described in this videos and by other terms used by the French and English during colonial times (Quartoon, Octaroon, etc.) that refer mixed races. Hispanic, Anglo, Franco, etc. do not indicate race, but cultural background.You want to take if one step further, look at the absurdity of the term African-American. Charlize Theron was born in Benoni, South Africa. She emigrated to the US where she became US citizen through naturalization. Charlize Theron is, therefore, a real African-American yet, it doesn't get much whiter than Charlize.
I made this video for americans to realize that the people they are calling hispanic are not one big race but a collection of races that also exist on the anglo side of culture in the US.
Hispanic is not an ethnicity. If it was then that would be wrong. That's like claiming to be of someone else's heritage. It's more of a linguistic language group.
Tyler Nordstrom Hispanic is a cultural heritage.
People from Spain and Portugal don't want to call themselves Hispanics because its too Hispanic? WTF? Hispanic is a term FAR more ancient than the languages of Spanish and Portuguese. Up until the 1400's, the Spanish language, which is actually Castillian, didn't even exist, and Portugal shared the same dialect with the Gallecia, a region of north-western Spain. Hispanic refers to people from the ancient Roman Province of HISPANIA, the Latin name for Iberia.
Hello Elena. Yes, I wanted to break it down, because I was just tired of people thinking that Hispanic was a race (I live in the U.S., so I'm referring to here in this country). We range in many different colors and races, it's only culture and language that bonds us. So I made this video to explain to non-Hispanics who we are and even Hispanics in the U.S. that believe Hispanic is a race. It's not. Pitbull, George Lopez and David Ortiz are all different races from each other.
Pitbull definitely has some Black in him. Most Cubans do.
Most Caribbean latin people from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Dominican Republic do have black in them but not all. People must know that some European latin people didn't like mixing with black people.
Commodoor65 Pitbull is a white Cuban. Cuba was a 74% white country before Castro took power. Descendants of Spaniards. That's whiter than the US today. Unless you are gonna provide some sort of proof to your claim, it can't be accepted. Pitbull is white. Just like a white American is white. There are white Americans with a couple percent black African DNA, so does that mean George Clooney or Mark Wahlberg are not white? You see how silly that sounds? Pit bull is white. He is a white Cuban-American.
You obviously have never bee to cuba
That's not what the statistics reveal.
Excerpt:
Based on genetic testing the average European, African and Native American ancestry found in those self-reporting to be “blanco (White)”
86% were fully "European",
6.7% had some "African" ancestry
and 7.8% had "Native" or Other Ancestry.[17]
The majority of the European ancestry comes from Spain. During the 18th, 19th and early part of the 20th century especially, large waves of Canary Islanders, Galicians, Asturians and Catalans emigrated from Spain to Cuba. Other European nationalities which immigrated include: English, Scots, Russians, Poles, Portuguese, Romanians, Italians, Greeks, French, Germans and Irish. Central and Eastern European influence was mostly during the Cold War years and immigration from the British Isles was mostly in Pinar del Rio Province and Havana. There is a small remnant of a Jewish community.That's not what the statistics reveal.

Yes, I applaud you as well for wanting find out your roots. You can start by tracing your family, but you can also take DNA tests. As far as my heritage, the Canary Islands are a very interesting place. They were the first colony and the last, before becoming a state (region) of Spain.
Okay is an interesting one for you... How would you categorize Roxann Dawson among your Hispanic classifications? She was in Star Trek Voyager where she appeared as B'Elanna Torres and credited as Roxann Biggs-Dawson (her previous and current husband surnames) but her birth name was Roxann Caballero, so she is obviously of Hispanic/ Latino descent even though she prefers to keep it to herself and often even seems to want to deny it.
At least it's pretty accurate!
Keep in mind ..that Spain has Arab influence..there are times you cant tell the difference between and Arab and a latino
sacarias piedras del rio Arab DNA in Spaniards is about 3%. That's not much.

different cultures different believes
but one race
the human race
Yes, Puerto Rican Spanish is highly influenced by Canary Islanders. If you listen to Canarian Spanish and Puerto Rican Spanish, they are very similar. And being that there is a history of lots of Canarians in Puerto Rico, not the other way around, that is why your Spanish sounds like mine. My people went to Puerto Rico in droves and highly influenced it's language and culture. Of course Andalusians, Galicians, Catalans, Asturians and others had influence too. The Canarian influence was great.
Why do we need to fill out forms that has "White Hispanic or White None Hispanic"? Why do they really have to know the difference?

Why you don´t put Argentine or Uruguayans on this video? White people is the 1% of all Caribean popullation
White nations are in the south (Argentina, Uruguay, Chile)
It's true there are many whites in South America, but it's not true that whites are 1% of the Caribbean. They are 37% alone in Cuba (they used to be 74% of Cuba in 1958, one year before Castro took power) and there are sizeable numbers in Puerto Rico and even quite a few in the Dominican Republic. I used these celebrities because this video was made to educate Americans of the US and these are celebrities familiar to them. There are whites in almost every country in Latin America, just some have more than others. I do agree with you that the majority white countries today in Latin America are in South America, but again, I used people that Americans of the US were familiar with and they are just not that familiar with many celebrities from South America.
Chile white nation? Give me a break!!!!!!!!!
jualonso Compared with other SA coutries.. yes (not even close Argentina and Uruguay)
*****
If we take that into consideration, yes, there's a decent percentage of whites in Chile. In Argentina (my country) the percentage of whites is being reduced every single day. Especially in the last ten years, we have received millions of people from Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru (mostly). In a sense, that's a problem of all white countries (US and Europe in general); the difference here is that the government is promoting that immigration for political reasons (they give documents to these people and get their votes).
***** Jajaja, me acabo de dar cuenta de que sos argentino. Y yo hablándote en inglés... Es un tema que da para mucho este de la raza. Hablando de Argentina en particular, es un país básicamente fundado por europeos y que fue poblado mayormente por europeos. Pero bueno, ahora eso está siendo dinamitado y a nadie parece importarle.

Pitbull looks like a german
Now you will be tagged a racist.
There’s a German singer named Jan Delay who does kind of look like Pitbull.
Are Haitians not Hispanic? Since the term Hispanics derived from Hispaniola which consist of modern day Haiti and Dominican Republic
S Moise The term Hispanic does not derive from Hispaniola, but from Hispania. Hispania was the ancient name of Spain, given to Spain during the ancient Roman rule of Spain thousands of years ago. Hispaniola was named "la Isla Española" (translated as "The Spanish Island" ) Hispaniola is just the Latin language translation of "Española", which means "Spanish" in the Spanish language. Hispanic comes from the name Hispania, which is the ancient name of Spain. Spaniards throughout history have been known as Hispanos (Hispanics).
But to answer your question are Haitians Hispanic? The answer is no. They are Francophones and their language is French/French related. But some may have a touch of Spanish blood in them which technically those with significant portions of it could claim Hispanic heritage, but it seems most probably don't have significant Spanish admixture (save for maybe those bordering the Dominican Republic). However, Haitians are Latin Americans since the French are Latins and Haiti is an ex-French colony and French language, customs and traditions are part of Haitian culture. Latin America was named after the Latins (Latinos) that were colonizing the lower Americas, whom were the Spanish, Portuguese and French.
I´m mexican, both of my maternal grandfather and grandmother were from Spain, but my mom was born here in México with really white skin, big almond eyes and curly black hair, some of my aunts are blond, my father is "full" mexican with brown skin and straight hair, i have a brother who is as white as my mom big eyes and curly dark hair, and i´m more of a darker skin small eyes but lighter straight hair, even my beard is red ha, and sometimes is gets tired when people says to us : NO you can not be brothers you don´t look the same (ethnically speaking) and i´m like: is that even matters?? we came from the same parents, They loves us both the same, and when people says that is like we are not supposed to be brothers and is so sad that even in these days people still thinking that way, with all those prejudices in their minds, we are all the same there´s no race better than the others, we supposed to live like one no matter what the color of our skin or race is.
Sounds like you had some white grandparents and one of your parents was white if they were her parents and sounds like your father was mestizo. So if this is the case, you are probably a European dominant mestizo.
El Matador See, that´s the problem, i don´t care if i am more european than amerindian and don´t really care; I´m a human being and that´s all!
+Enrique Munguia Well that's fine if you don't care about those things. This video is not designed for people to care, it's designed to educate people about the races of the Hispanic group as found in the American continent (and even Spain). It's good to know what you are and who you are. If you choose not to care, that is up to you. But from what you told me, you sound like a European dominant mestizo. So now if someone asks what race you are, you now know how to answer them, rather than saying you don't care, because you really don't know. Education is knowledge and knowledge is power.
We could take this approach: Learn Spanish, and you get instant membership. Yet, why don't we call English speakers "Britannic," regardless of whether they're inside or outside of England?
I dont know, how accurate this is. It seems to me, they used some of the most stereotypical characteristics of people to classify each group, not everyone who falls into the same group will look exactly alike, region has a lot to do with, how someone looks like as well.
jesse gonzalez I made the video simple. Sure there are several looks for the races, but I put people in there that North Americans are familiar with (the video is made for North Americans)
Saying Pittbull is not full blooded white is like saying Tom Cruise is not full blooded white.
Great find ¡
Thanks for the info my amigo sun. greetings.
My mom's great grandfather migrated to Mexico from Spain. His name was Dylan Altamirano. My dad's mother had nothing but Spanish ancestors. But my dad's father was predominately Indian. So does this mean im an Indian with Spanish ancestry or Spanish with Indian ancestry?
Hola Fabian, nice surname, lol, I have the same surname....but anyway, I would say you are mestizo, but European dominant. At least from what you've told me. More like a castizo. But the word castizo is rarely used in modern society, the word mestizo is generally used today to mean a mixture of white and Amerindian. So like I said, predominantly European mestizo.
Nice video! If it was a bit shorter I would show it in my class. :) Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you this is really good information amigo
No problem. Please spread this video and get the word out that we are a diverse group of people and not all the same. Muchas gracias por el comentario amigo mio :)
Weird because my sisters are white and some brown. What would u say we are if we have same parents.
Hard to say. I would have to see pics and know the country of origin. That scenario can be either white, mestizo, light mulatto, or light afromestizo. So I would have to see facial features. Skin tone is not a good identifier. Facial features are. Knowing the country of origin helps too because I know the racial histories of Spanish speaking countries.
Ah yes hermano, very true. We must remember that the real "Indians" are from India. I'm sure they hate when people call indigenous Americans "Indians".
I'm Middle Eastern, I knew it. My whole family says I look Turkish or Lebanese. In Colombia, which is where I'm from, there are a lot of Lebanese people so I'm not surprised.
Yes, there were many Lebanese that immigrated to Latin America. I met a couple in my lifetime that were of Lebanese descent. One was a Mexican and another was a Venezuelan. Where do you live? I live in the U.S. and many people here do not know there are different races in Latin America and think they all supposed to look like mestizos. So sad the amount of ignorance. But it's perpetuated by the media here, so Americans don't believe anything except what comes out of the tv.
I live in Central Falls, RI in the US which is mostly Colombians, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Guatemalans, Dominicans, and Salvadorians so you see all the Hispanic races. But there are also the stereotypes for each nationality such as Colombians being White or Middle Eastern, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are Mulatto, Zambo, or Black and the Mexicans, Guatemalans and Salvadorians as being Mestizo or Indian.
ROPSaeddienPK Yes, those stereotypes are because of that's what most see in your area. Like for instance there are many white Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico, but in the U.S., most that immigrated were afromestizo. But I get what you are saying.
Yeah and I know a lot of Central Americans that are white as well.
ROPSaeddienPK
Central America has the fewest whites than other areas of Latin America, but there is one country in Central America that is largely white and it's Costa Rica. The rest of Central America is majority mestizo/Amerind/afromestizo. But there are a few whites in the other parts too, just not many of them like in Costa rica. White Hispanics of course, not American whites.
I enjoyed the video. I grew up in South Texas with Mexican American playmates. I get so tired of the government trying to lump people into racial categories. People are people..
Thanks for stopping by GEN EP. Pass on this video to others to educate them about the different races of people in our group known as Hispanic. Saludos.
Hello Isleno, i appreciate your video very much as i am an Hispanic-American and i can't tell you how frustrating it is to constantly hear of others comparing Latino/Hispanic to other races and calling it a race when it isn't. Sad thing is a lot of Hispanics call Latino/Hispanic a race and even say "Spanish" is a race and its annoying as heck.
I wonder why on shows like Al Rojo Vivo and Primer Impacto and other Spanish speaking shows they constantly say or imply that Hispanic/Latino is a race?
Hi...You're labeling groups based on their outside exterior. The fact is there are no pure "white" Hispanics. I look mostly white...I was born with straight super yellow blond hair and I happen to be what you categorize as "Pardo". I am tri-racial indeed and of Puerto Rican descent but I don't look tri-racial...what category do you put in?
There is a China town in Mexicali, decedents of immigrant rail workers who worked the line into Mexico, but were refused re-entry.
Yes very true. There are Mexicans of almost every race.
Exactly. He's a redheaded white dude from a Spanish speaking background. Doesn't make him any less Hispanic or Latino. Actually it makes him more, because he's a descendant of Hispania.
good job isleno keep educating people. by the way my main last name is gutierrez lol
That's an awesome last name! Always glad to meet another Gutierrez. Salu2
IslenoGutierrez yeah man it is an awesome last name. my great grandparents came as refugies from castilla y leon to mexico during the Spanish civil war when franco was the dictator. They nationalize themselves Mexicans but I guess my great grandmothers real roots came from turkish and Bulgarian. in eastern Europe.
IslenoGutierrez my great grandfather was a real castellan.
TheTokyo1 My family is from Canary Islands, Spain. We are not Castillians because we are not from the Castille region of Spain. We are Spanish islanders. And my family left Canary Islands, Spain and landed in Cuba, then left Cuba after a while and landed in the U.S..
IslenoGutierrez oh really that's cool bro, Yeah I have a few friends that I play xbox live with from canary islands. They sound like good people. And last year I traveled to Murcias, Sevilla, Madrid, and Granada. I didn't have to pay no hotels because one of my good friends that I met through xbox live picked me up from the airport. Him and his family told me i'm welcome to stay at there home for as long as I want. They really welcomed me with open arms. I felt like if I was right at home. I was over there for 2 months. I would go to church almost every sunday with them. We would go to the beach a lot. We would go out to eat typical Spanish food like tapas, flautas, Spanish tortillas, Piquillos rellenos, similar to Mexican enchiladas and Mexican chile relleno mix, and I also ate hamon iberico, super delicious all natural fresh ham, and paella which is Spanish rice, and cochinillo asado super delicious and drinked a lot of wine lol... they became like a second family for me. I always write to them on facebook or call once in awhile to see how they're doing. all the people in general were super nice and respectful to me. they were impress on how good I spoke Spanish since I was born and raised here in the U.S. my friends family would always compare me to some other relative they had just like how they do in other Hispanic countries. A lot of people over there thought I was an actual Spaniard till they heard me speak. My buddy and a few relatives want to come visit me over here in july because they want to go to Disneyland and visit the California cities and beaches. I told them they too can stay at my home and no reservations for hotels will be needed. they're good people. I don't know why a lot of latin americans complain about the Spaniards being so racist towards them or treating them unfairly out there in Spain.
There was a lot of influx of western Europeans before the Mexican-American war. Which is why Europeans got pissed during that time because many families got cut off from their families.
Yes, I heard him say that too that there are more people in Puerto Rico with Canarian descent than in Puerto Rico. Kinda like there are more Americans in the U.S. with more descent from Puerto Rico than in Puerto Rico itself. Crazy stuff. I think there are more people of Canarian descent in the Americas than in Canarias.
Hispanic is an ethnic group mainly consisting of Iberian and Latin American peoples; and this ethnic group is Caucasoid, the race of the indigenous peoples of Europe; Western, Central and Southern Asia; North Africa and the Horn of Africa. The indigenous peoples of the Americas are of the Mongoloid race, having primarily migrated from East and Southeast Asia across a land connection to Alaska which is now the Bering Sea. It is likely that the interaction and assimilation of Hispanic colonists with indigenous Americans contributed to the development of new Hispanic peoples significantly different from Iberians, but they would've also developed on their own having migrated to a different part of the world. Remember that races scientifically are determined by overall anatomy and psychology, not just skin colour, and be careful in places where some of these racial classifications (especially Mongoloid and Negroid) may be considered derogatory terms when used outside of science, forensics and medicine.
+mattdobz Not all "latin american" peoples have hispanic (european) blood. There are alot of indigenous people (millions) that conserve its race "pure". So, that people cannot be called "latin" american, because they do not have latin (european) heritage.
I wouldn't consider Pitbull white...But hey I guess he is majority of Spanish DNA.
Daneris Vega Pacifico that's how the racist 1/8th drop rules for the Yankees, why wouldn't someone who is obviously using their way of thinking not use that method?
Oh ya for the racist fact that ethnicity does not need to be covered up to be considered "pure." Such thoughts are not only primitive but are a way destructive way of thinking such as organized religion, political corruption, and socio-enomic class inequality. All 4 which are predominant in the United States of America.
You just got to love our overintelligent overseers right? ;)
Daneris Vega Pacifico Why wouldn't you consider Pitbull white? He looks completely Spanish and could completely pass in Spain unnoticed. Because he doesn't look Northern European white like white Americans? He's of Southern European descent. But even then, he's still very white in complexion with fair skin and blue eyes. Do you need to see a video of him telling you that he's white? Here you go: th-cam.com/video/h2Dr4uM3hsU/w-d-xo.html
Portuguese people are referred to as Lusitanics.
My Dad is Mexican from Mexico. He's a dark tan color with obvious mestizo facial features & characteristics. But my Mom was Salvadorian from El Salvador. She had big round medium brown eyes, her facial features where very Middle Eastern with straight black hair & bushy thick eyebrows. Her skin tone was very light almost pale but she would get lil light tans.
Eduardo Alveno Sounds like both of your parents are mestizo.
I'm not sure I agree with this characterization of Hispanic, if people use it,incorrectly, in my opinion it's because they would like to identify with that group or wish to identify people with that group purely because of the Spanish language. There are also people who are not sure of their race and so identify with Hispanic, once again due to the spanish langauge. If we are saying that this "Hispanic Group"is a new definition for grouping people then what is the basis criteria for this grouping and who initiated it?
This is a video on the races of the "Hispanic" group, not a video on the ethnic groups of the "Latin" group, which Italy would be a part of. Hispanic=Spanish speaking cultures.
Great video! Its so interesting about the huge diversity that the hispanic groups has! My father is from nicaragua and looks black while my mother is from el salvador and looks white. Haha
I need to know what education Mr. Isleno Rodriguez has?. Also, you mentioned, your opinions are based upon genetic DNA studies from geneticists, where we can see those genetic studies?.
Thank you
i wouldnt consider fujimori a hispanic. even if he speaks spanish. it isn't an official language of his race, ethnicity or culture. he is asian that speaks spanish.
not so simple. Lartino/Hispanic is someone born and raised in Latin America regardless of their race. At least that's how it's defined in Latin America. Cheers
Jose Bartoli Well Europeans from Spain are Hispanics also, actually the first and original Hispanics. Latinos are all those that speak a Latin-based language as their first language, so that includes Spain, Portugal, Italy, France and Romania in Europe as well as Latin America. Latino is the spanish word for Latin. Latin was a language from Italy, from the Latin tribe in central Italy, which became the language of Rome and the Roman Empire. Latin America was named for the people that were colonizing the lower Americas, the Latin Europeans, which were the French, Spanish and Portuguese. Indigenous people and blacks were not originally Latins. They only became so when they spoke Latin-based languages.
AD L If he is from a country with a Latin-based language he is Latino. If he is from a country that has a Spanish-based language he is Hispanic. But if you want true definitions, the true Latinos are the Latin Europeans and the true Hispanics are the Spaniards and Portuguese. But I'm going by the loose definitions.
That's why some Spaniards can be fair, some tan, some inbetween. Some light eyes, some dark eyes, some light hair, some dark hair. And also, some of the ancient Iberians had colored eyes and dark brown hair, not just black hair. So even within their population their was variety, before the mixing took place. So today, Spaniards are mainly Celtiberians, in most regions of Iberia. This goes for the Portuguese too.
I was born in the U.S. to Salvadoran parents. Spanish was my first language and I speak it fluently. My parents family has been living in E.S. for as long as I know. I am Mestizo as far as I know as well, I haven't taken a DNA test or anything but almost all Salvadorans are and I probably am. I know my Native roots and know the tribes which inhabited E.S. but I really want to find my European roots.
@Anonymous my genetic ancestry results would have to disagree. Over 40% of my genetic code traces back to Spain.
@Anonymous I worked for a geneticist and I specialize in genetic ancestry. I can read the data to check for accuracy. Aside from that, the people from the Americas are some of the most genetically diverse people in the world so not the same thing.
@Anonymous I obviously don’t consider myself Spanish but I also know for a fact that many of us have Spanish ancestry hence being mixed race. I have European features as well as indigenous ones. If anything, seeing all Latinos simply as “Indians” is a dangerous and false claim.
in other words: just like the United States is a country where there are people from all areas of the world, so also the countries of Latin America have citizens from all over the world
Great video, do u have any knew videos in the making?
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month,Everyone!
Charlie Guzman Honestly, I think all these months devoted to races/ethnicities are silly. It divides people rather than uniting people.
Bueno yo soy un hispano blanco y nací en los Estados Unidos, yo aprende Español de mi familia y Ingles de mi escuelas. No matter what color or race you are, you will always be an American citizen if born in the U.S. Relax people nothings wrong.
Ramon Rodriguez we all belong to one race the. hu,man race. no matter what we look like, god made it so.
Sorry, you forgot the group: "Castizo" which are people who are primarily 75% White European and 25% Native American Indians. This group is recognized primarily in Mexico and should also be given its place in the rich diversity that is the Latin American Family. By the way, I am 76% White European, 12% Native American Indian, 5% Sub-Saharan African, 4% Middle Eastern Jew, 1% Central Asian and 2% other! I am very proud of my rich diversity that the Lord God gave me!
um, you do realize half a millenia(singular the proper word is millennium) is only 500 yrs. i actually thought you were here longer than that. perhaps you should open one of those eurocentric, pseudoscience books. the science you're learning doesn't seem to be cutting it.
Very accurate video hermano!
No, not all people with dark hair and light eyes are Alpine, but those types do make up a large portion of the Alpine type. Alpines usually have more broad skulls, shorter stature, broader noses than Nordics, an intermediate skin color between Nordics and Mediterraneans, stocky, etc. Alpine is actually an intermediate between Nordic and Mediterranean. You don't know this? This have been classified as so.
"Just look at the way groups of people hang around" THAT SIMPLE
Thanks Chris. So what is your ethnicity? I am of Spanish ancestry from the Canary Islands of Spain and a some French ancestry. I live in Louisiana, where I grew up. I am a white person of Hispanic origins, which I would fit into the "white" section of this video. I speak Spanish pretty good, with a Canarian accent (Canary Islands). My family came here some time ago.
Wow you really broke it down the right way.....I dont understand why people refuse to understand haha
" It's normal for a white person to have a thin top lip and a large bottom one if they do, which is common among Germanic people."
This is common among most Europeans that do have full lips. Among those Europeans with full lips, it's found in various parts of Europe. I've seen this feature on Spaniards, Germans, French, Italians, British, etc.
