The Breakdown of the Hispanic/Latino group

[Im Still Ballin]

Mestizo
Mestizo (/mɛˈstizoʊ/; Peninsular Spanish: [mesˈtiθo], Latin American Spanish: [mesˈtiso]) is a term traditionally used in Spain and Spanish America to mean a person of combined European and Amerindian descent, or someone who would have been deemed a Castizo (one European parent and one Mestizo parent)

Mullato
Mulatto is a term originally used to refer to a person who is born from one white parent and one black parent, or to persons of two mulatto parents.

Zambo
Zambo (Spanish: [ˈθambo] or [ˈsambo]) or cafuzo (Portuguese: [kɐˈfuzu]) are racial terms used in the Spanish and Portuguese Empires and occasionally today to identify individuals in the Americas who are of mixed African and Amerindian ancestry

Mestizo is by far the most dominant and common, especially in America.

Nate Diaz for example, is a Mestizo with heavy European majority

Spanish is European

[fsvr54]

Spanish is European

Not the ones that have been in the Americas for generations. They're LATINOS

[Funktion]

Mestizos in the the Philippines too.

Why do you have a problem with being part European? Europeans don't magically disappear

The Spanish mixed with the native Ameridian. The European dna haplogroup doesn't magically disappear. It is firmly in your DNA

We are talking about DNA, hereditary and genetics here. I don't care if you identify as a unicorn.

Being Hispanic/Latino is a cutural thing, not racial you numbskull.

Mexico's majority of the population is mestizo, Dominican Republic's is mulatto and Uruguay's is white yet they are all equally Latino, one country isn't more Latino than the other because once again IT'S A CULTURAL THING, NOT RACIAL!!!

Diaz is as Latino as Jay Hernandez, Leo Messi, Canelo Alvarez, Sofia Vergara, David "Big Papi" Ortiz, Penelope Cruz, Marco Rubio etc etc

There are also Latinos of Arabic descent like Shakira, also German like Gisele Bundchen, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, African, Polish, Jewish etc

OP doesn't get the simple concept that's it's a culture, not a racial group.:oldlol:

For someone who himself is a "Latino" you sure know nothing about what a "Latino" is.

A "Latino" is someone from "Latin America". That's it. It's not a culture or a race.

Is there Latino culture? Sure. Just like there's American culture. Or Canadian culture. But what's an "American"? What's a "Canadian"?

American = person from America
Canadian = person from Canada
Latino = person from Latin America


It's not rocket science.

[CelticBaller]

Hispanic = Spanish/Portuguese
Um yeas it is

Hispanics are literally a race of people who identify as descendants from the Spanish.

[fsvr54]

Hispanic = Spanish/Portuguese

Not Portuguese

Hispanics are those of Spanish descent. Brazilians dont speak spanish

[Patrick Chewing]

Not sure where I fall in these categories, however all I know is that my ancestors were Sephardic Jews from Spain.

My surname and my Mother's surname are the same as some very prominent provinces in Spain. I am also pretty sure I have the blood of Kings flowing through my veins considering my heritage and the connections to the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
