A new survey points to a disconnect in how some Afro-Latinos living in the U.S. report their race. The Pew Research Center found that while 24 percent of U.S.-based Latinos identify as Afro-Latino, just 18 percent of that group reports its race as “Black.”
Per the report:
When asked directly about their race, only 18% of Afro-Latinos identified their race or one of their races as black. In fact, higher shares of Afro-Latinos identified as white alone or white in combination with another race (39%) or volunteered that their race or one of their races was Hispanic (24%). Only 9% identified as mixed race.

Completely illogical.
Not proud of their heritage or themselves at all...
