Majority people from Caribbean is mulatto.

@rayito2005 That's falsehood. The majority of the Caribbean has populations of mainly African descendants. Mulattoes in the Caribbean are mainly in Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.

@lherman22 You can call it reaching or call it what you want. Natives did not have borders & were Nomadic people. Just remember that.

[lherman22]

@sportsmarvel anyway, anyone still there are welcome to return to there homeland & apply for citzenship, remember that all Native Americans are citizens of USA too. Most tribes also require proof of lineage; for example the Navajo Nation requires atleast 1/4 proof of Navajo blood. The Mescalero tribe of Apache's land stretches into Northern Mex a bit, but there are only about 3,200 Mescaleros, so its not much of significant argument for the millions of Mexicans.

@sportsmarvel you are really reaching now. Native American diaspora in 18th & 19th century in that area was largely further into Southwest, Northwest & Midwest. Some did go to Mexico. About 20,000 Navajo were forced west during the Long Walk, so maybe few hundred to a thousand fled into Mexico. The Navajos were actually as hostile towards the Spanish at the time as Anglos. If they stayed in Mex & had descendants left, even if their pop doubled, that would be like .0003% of 113million pop of Mex.
