SURVEY: U.S. Afro-Latinos More Likely to Identify as White Than Black

[Dwayne_Taylor]

Some of this has to do with language barriers. A lot of Latinos think "Hispanic " means illegal. So when they have to check a box they pick anything but that.

Wait is this is confusing. If they KNOW they are Afro-Latino then how can they identify as white?

 

[Bawon Samedi]

I think the survey has a typo. I think the survey was supposed to say "How do US Hispanics identify" rather than "How do US Afro-Latinos identify".

That aside, fukk Mexicans (who likely are the ones saying they're white).

Agreed.

So what? Why are some of you so determined to make people claim they're black? Most of these "afro-latinos" are mixed. I mean its one thing if you're latino and black as fukk saying you're white, but a lot of these "afro latinos" are so mixed up that saying they're black is just as wrong as saying they're white. Its also important to remember that the one drop rule doesn't exist in South America.

a lot of black americans cant fathom this concept tbh. someone like Zoe Saldana would not be considered black in a Latin American but she's black in the US

Then some black people shame Latinos of African descent (most who are mixed) to claim black. Then when that mixed latino is the face of a black woman in a feature film, suddenly she isnt black enough

In other news....the sky is blue.

this is confusing, it says 24% of Latinos in the US identify as Afro-Latino, but only 18% of Afro-Latinos identify as being black?

Wait is this is confusing. If they KNOW they are Afro-Latino then how can they identify as white?

Yeah, I think if they used "negro" "pardo" etc the survey would look different.

This is why I don't cape for latinos...they hate black people more, today, than most european countries.

shyt is embarrassing.

If you relied on media, you'd think there were no afro-latinos.

People forget the african slave trade and slavery was more vicious in latin america than it was in north america...

It seems their ideal society is an all white one..its disgusting. Anti blackness really permeated deeply in this culture.

Completely illogical.

No sense of self, no history...

I only roll with the real gods & earths tho

Happy to be conquered, colonized, enslaved, raped, and whhatever....to atleast look white.

Who cares? Why are Yall so offended when people don't identify as black. fukk them. We don't need them,

I also find it hard to believe that 24% of Latinos in the US identify as Afro Latino, even if everyone accurately identified it would be nowhere near that high

Idk Dominicans, Haitians, Cubans and Ricans have a sizeable number.
