The majority of Mexicans do not have black African heritage; but some do in some areas. A lot of Mexicans and people from central and South America are of Indigenous and Spanish descent, or Spanish and descendant from other European countries. The Spanish and Portuguese who are of Moorish descent are Caucasians as the Berbers and moors from North Africa are Caucasian.

Yes there are different terms used in Latin American countries for someone's heritage.


Listen..are we going to discuss issues or am I going to have to read freshly googled information whenever you respond?

Again, in this hemisphere...the English, Dutch, French, Spanish and Portuguese were the colonial powers.

over 90% of the enslaved Africans during the transatlantic slave trade ended up in Spanish or Portuguese claimed territories. Brasil is often classified as a latin american country.

There are descendants of the enslaved Africans in EVERY country in Latin America with some countries clearly having higher concentrations of Negro blood in the gene pool.

Your defensiveness about things that are facts highlight the residual effect of the casta system and it's prejudice.

The social system in Spain, if I had to bet money, probably places a premium on those Spaniards who do NOT have Moorish blood/heritage...so I doubt that the social hierarchy doesn't see a difference between pure Spaniard and in your words,descendants of moorish caucasians.
