The Census 2010 is here and the question is "What does it mean for the Taíno community?" History as written can be interpreted from different perspectives.

From the point of view of many academics who devote their time to study and investigation of the chronicles left by the Spaniards - they believe that these documents are truths of their time and "it is what it is". From their perspective it is hard historical science and not inventions, imagingings or magically produced claims. One should accept these documents as fact - left behind by the historians during the conquest for all to learn.

From the perspective of the Tainos if the the academic communities were to examine closely at the historical documents available and written by those who may or may have not been part of the conquest during the early colonization of Borikén/Puerto Rico - it clearly reveals the origins of the myth of Taíno extinction.

Some say the problem with the census process of that era, which had no fixed standards, were filled with inaccuracies and misinformation - "maybe". What about Census 2010? What opportunities are there this time around? Will the same process that counted the Taínos out of existence centuries ago - now count them back to life? It seems that the answer for the Taíno community is in their hands - once again?

  • @WW3Future What she said is actually true.Spain and puerto rico are 2 different countries (PR a commonwealth)spaniard-is people born in Spain located in Europe and other Europeans countries don't consider spaniards white because 400 yrs ago they were taken over by native indians and arabs.Puerto rico-is 61%taino,amerindian 27%african & 2.1%cacausian,basically they are more taino than anything.NOT WHITE.how i know all this?i read and research.im also Spaniard/Puerto Rican/Cherokee indian.

  • @prjibaro1 right

  • @arab3515

    Yes, Race can't be used as an identity, but rather you can identify with your culture.There are sub-races on each macro -race.

  • @prjibaro1 yes, being identified as mongoloid (asian), caucasoid (white), or negroid (black) are simplified terms to identify people WHICH IS A BIG ILLUSION, not ever asian is the same, not every european is the same, and not every african is the same.

    but if you identify specifically such as chineese, german, and nigerian, THEN ITS ALOT MORE SPECIFIC.

    If my father is spanish and my mother is japaneese, that would make me i am spanish with japaneese ancestrial influence.
