  • SixxxPac69, that is because the average American is stupid. They think that everyone under the Hispanic category looks like the stereotypical indigenous Mexican. If they only knew that Argentina and Uruguay is white than them by ratio, they would probably flip.

  • most americans have a hard time believing all of this stuff...they always like to put us all in one category  just to feel very superior and have another group to discriminate.

  • some are white others are black and some are native americans

  • @agentpositron Racism comes in all colors. NOT just white people. Dark-skinned mexican americans and african americans are no better.

  • The first woman did a great job answering his question. "Race is different from ethnicity". Because American view on race and ethnicity is so small, ppl are forced to choose labels that doesn't accurately describe them. That's something that I see changing in the future.

  • I like pie. Trolol

  • @LilErro

    false...

  • @DimmuBorgir007 But it should not even materr if they are white or Black.

  • It's not complicated. The basic rules in the global system of racism (white supremacy) are: If you're white, you're alright. If you're yellow, you're mellow. If you're brown, stick around. If you're black, get back. Let's replace white supremacy with justice as soon as possible.(RWSWJ ASAP)

  • @SixxxPac69 sounds to me like you are discriminating kid

  • @chsn09 A very minuscule amount of black people sold their "own" people.In a country where everyone was the same race at the time,there was no such thing as "black" but they were such thing as warrior tribes(people they didnt get along with) so when settlers came to buy slaves they sold their enemies,not their "own people".They also sold captives from wars which were actually burdens upon them.Please read up on the slave trade because you dont know too much.

  • @LilErro Oh cool. Yep. I know many Louisiana Creoles as well. I have Creole Caribbean background.
