Do you consider Hispanics/Latinos as "White" racially when it comes to your mind?

After spending a couple of days criticizing my "vile" ideas, you are still not able to define them.

I guess I'm going to have to put this down as a win.

 

Entirely depends how "mestizo" they are. As far as I am concerned "Hispanic" is only a name for people of Central/South American origin and some of them are indeed Caucasoid.

Dominicans are mostly black and they are "Latino", but not white.

 

Anyways, Latino is not a race, but a "compound-ethnicity", so there are Latinos of all races. Most of them are bi-racial though.
[Cristian Zapata, (Afro-)Colombian. Latino? Yep. White? No.

James Rodriguez, Colombian. Latino? Yes. White? Nope.

 

I stated the reasons for "criticizing your vile ideas" and you chose to ignore the reason.

It has become more and more obvious that talking to you is like addressing a brick wall.

I am done with your stupidity and lack of ethical thought.

Have a nice life in yur little bubble.

 

Excuse me, but if you are "Greko-German", you are fully white and not by any means mulatta or mestizo. What kind of skewed concept of race do you have?

 

When you don't even know what my ideas are, how do you know they are vile?

 

Well my ancestors and family until this generation were all dark skinned with black hair and brown eyes. I would bet a lot of Turkish blood in there though my Grandfather would deny it with his last breath. So are they white even though they have brown skins? Or is there a meter for the amount of pigmentation in your skin that has to be reached until you are not white? It obviously is not being from Africa because there are those that are not of that ancestry not considered white. Where is the line drawn for folks that give a damn about race?

Me on the other hand is as white as white can be. My German is the dominant blood in my looks. But it is just looks since I could not tell you the difference between a snizal and a snowzer.

 

Heck I don't even know what 'white' is. I guess when a person self-identifies as a particular ethnicity or color that's what I call them. These days with even self gender identification anything seems possible. I just remembered, Clinton was called our first 'black' President.

I identify with my Avatar...A huge, all powerful, robot....Kinda silver colored.

 

There are three races: Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid. Latin-Americans are Caucasoid, but can be of a "mixed-race" extraction, typically some sort of "mulatto" composition.

 

Some Latinos are actually all three.

 

Lol. Turks are caucasoid too, you silly. Besides, Greeks and (Western) Turks overlap alot genetically.

Just because you are not a stereotypical Nordic does not mean you are not white. The basic way of classify races is; Caucasoid, Mongoloid(includes Amerindians) and Negroid.

Most Americans look very "generic" and do not really fit in to specific European countries as you are all mishmashes of everything from north to south to east to west and the central. Lol. Nonetheless, Euro-Americans are - obviously - white and this applies even for the Italo-Muricans.

 

I think of Latinos as white. In fact, I tend to think of anyone without marked Negroid features as white unless they are clearly full blooded Chinese etc. For example, I consider very dark skinned people from India with Caucasian features as "white" in the sense that you seem to mean.

 

Most Latinos have obvious Mongoloid (Amerindian) features that would make it very hard for them to pass as natives anywhere in Europe.

Cheekbones, eyes and pigmentation is very different from the average Iberian.

 

Needs another choice like maybe do you care about how Latinos categorizes themselves.

 

Sure. I was only dealing with the three main recognized racial groups. Latin-Americans themselves come in many racial "shades-of-gray", all the way from a perfect balance of all three racial groups, to having only a small percentage deviation from one main type.

But, mainly, yes, most Latin-Americans are considered "White". If you look at a lot of Spanish people (actually in Spain), it's surprising to see how many of them are as "White" as Swedes or Norwegians.... Spanish immigrants to North America interbred with native Indian tribes and today's Latin-Americans are the result, for the most part.

 

I do not encounter alot of Latinos irl, but what I get from seeing them in media, most actually look obviously mixed. There are a few who could pass as Southern Euros, indeed. But most are mestizos/semi-mestizos.

 

I tend to consider Amerindian people as white, too. Most of them now are mostly Caucasian anyway.

 

Pretty sure they go under "Mongoloid" as far as physical anthropology goes.

 

Latino isn't a race. Look at the peoples of the Dominican Republic, Argentina and Guatemala for examples.

 

Not if they're mostly Caucasian.

 

Which is the whitest Latin American country anyways? Sure is not Mexico and defibitely not any of the Carribean islands.

 

The Native Peoples in the Americas? Yes, they were mongoloid or Asiatic, to begin with. What they are after the intervening centuries & waves of immigration simply depends on the circumstances on the ground. In Mexico, most of the population is mestizo - a mixture (60% mestizo, 30% AmerIndian or predominantly so, 9% white) (there were relatively few Spaniards in the various waves of conquest & administration, & relatively few wives came over from Spain.) Mexico has a larger mestizo group than most of Latin America.

Argentina went the other way - 97% white, 3% mestizo & other nonwhite.

Best to look into each case, or an overall summary for generalizations.

 

Good luck with that. It seems to depend on what exactly you mean by white, & there were pressures in Latin-American societies to value white or Caucasian over other ethnicities. There's a nice article over @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Latin_Americans - especially the table on Genetic studies. There's a distinction in the article between absolute numbers of Caucasians & percentage of Caucasians in the general population. Very interesting reading.

 

I have no idea. I remember a person I worked with telling me that in the Hispanic country he came from his own family was too light to fit in, though.

 

Uruguay is pretty white, and so is Argentina.

Interestingly, Argentina is about 97% white, even though they used to have millions of African slaves. Not sure what happened to them...
