THE DIFFERENT RACES OF THE HISPANIC GROUP

These are the different races of the Hispanic group. Hispanic is not a race, only culture/ethnicity. This video was designed for education purposes only, not to smear the reputation of any race. Some believe that Hispanic and Latino are races. This video debunks that idea. Please enjoy.

This video is stupid simply because you didn't put that many examples of the Mestizo race. Seeing as they vary from phenotype.

@zamoramexrevenge This video is not stupid. It's very informative to Americans who think "Hispanic" is a race. Now on the topic of mestizos, true they vary in phenotype, but the examples I gave were some of the most common types. The idea of the video is to show Americans some familiar celebrities that are famous for them to relate to. I had to start to limit the examples, because I didn't want to make the video too long. Notice the examples get smaller toward the end.

@IslenoGutierrez Most aren't tri-racial? Are you basing that on the 80% of Puerto Ricans that list themselves as white?

[IslenoGutierrez]

@DevilMayhem666 No, I'm basing it on a genetic study of Puerto Rico. But again, race in society today is based on one's phenotype. Because you don't know what you have in your blood from centuries back. Just like in the U.S., white Americans are clearly defined as white Americans, but most have some admixture from Native Americans or blacks, but in the U.S., they are still clearly defined as whites.

@sportsmarvel I must agree with your comment about Christopher Columbus 100%. That's exactly how it happened. It kinda got out of hand. I don't know if the soldiers he left or the Amerindians drew first blood, but what ever happened kicked the whole thing off. Now because of that, I find myself explaining to mestizos and Amerindians that the Conquistadors were not representative of Spaniards as a whole, no more than the U.S. Army warring in Iraq, is representative of the Americans.

@iFupTrolls Actually when Christopher Columbus first landed in Hispaniola he was nice to the Natives and the Natives were nice to him. He left a few colonist on the island who ended up getting slaughtered when they came back to the island. This is when the Spanish realized that they had to take action. The Spanish never went to slaughter Natives. In fact most of them had good relations with Native tibes in the Americans and Natives were protected by law & converted to Christianity.

@TheViper831 80% of us are not like that. Most Spaniards are nice people. Generous people that would give you the shirt off their backs. As far as speaking the dialect correctly, not even all of Spain speaks it correctly. Every region has it's dialect, just like in Latin America. What happened hundreds of years ago we can't take back, those were stupid idiots that has put a scar on our nationality. But all we can do is be humble like the many Spaniards that came after the conquista.

[IslenoGutierrez]

@iFupTrolls I'm glad you got my point. All these Latinos think we all were in the Americas killing and enslaving people when it was mainly a group of sick twisted individuals. Most Spaniards came after the conquest as farmers, fishermen and merchants. Many came with families. But Latinos are not being taught this, only about the conquistadors, which to me, were like trying to stop the twisted U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba or ones doing bad things in Iraq.

[iFupTrolls]

@IslenoGutierrez I get your point and is a valid one. It just makes me mad when people celebrate the day Christopher Columbus arrived to Puerto Rico, like it was a good thing but you're right. I can't blame all Spaniards for what a group of twisted individuals did.

[IslenoGutierrez]

@iFupTrolls See my previous comment. You can't put all Spaniards in a box. Of course there were the soldiers that came in the beginning, but there were also later Spaniards that came to Puerto Rico with families. I'm Canarian Spanish, and Spaniards from the Canary Islands of Spain came in the 18th and 19th centuries to Puerto Rico in large numbers and inhabited the towns of Hatillo, Lares, Arecibo and Camuy. Not all Spaniards to Puerto Rico was conquistadors.
