Why do Mixed / Black Latinos--Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Haitians, etc?

Pretty much the media like L for Lonely said..... Latin Americans are very diverse Mestizo is no longer used in Latin America. Here in NYC most Puerto Ricans I have seen either look African or Arab. One of my Puerto Rican friend is a Mestizo and classifies himself with White since he looks Mediterranean and has a lot of European ancestry. Puerto Rico is 80% White (Mestizos included).

Same thing with Brazil but they use the Mestico the Brazilian census has also added them with White people. For some reason Mexican census has put Mestizo to a mixed race which represent 60% but I they should somehow label Mestizos as White in Mexico. Take a look at the Mexican president Felipe Calderon or the Mexican model Ximena Navarrate they're Mestizos but they look European.

I don't know much about Texas but here in New York Mexicans look 100% Native or East Asian and look no where near the Mexicans back in Cali who I believe are Mestizos. I even heard there is a term called Indio Mestizo with more Native ancestry, they are Euro Mestizos with more Euro ancestry which I believe I mentioned Felipe and Ximena, and Afro Mestizo with more African ancestry. I think every Latin American is a Mestizo weather you are Black, White, or Native.

Forget about this whole half Spanish and half Native that's just a caste system invented by the Spanish. Every human being is a Mestizo even Black & White Americans which so many people are ignorant about. I think Latin America esp Mexico needs to organize it's census I think most Mexicans are more Native Mestizos you can tell by their features unless if they have come from Northern Mexico which is mostly White and usually if you are living in Texas, New Mexico, California, Nevada, or Colorado most Mexicans would look Mediterranean since most parts they usually come from the Northern areas.

I would say 30-40 of Mexicans living in Southern America might come from South/Central.

I blame this on the Media, Though on several occasions now I have heard that most Mexicans claim to be "Mestizo" as for Guatemalans, I do not know much about them so I cannot say anything on there behalf, as for Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, I have heard that most Puerto Ricans are actually white, or Castizo, and I know nothing of Dominicans, The Media has alot to due with the way certain people view others.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
