      Race is a social construct. If Hispanics/Latinos are considered a race by a society, they're a race in that society.
      The Romans considered anyone who spoke Latin to be members of the 'Latini' or 'Romani' race, which aligns with the modern American understanding of being Latino.

    I am a 100% Mexican who is racially Black and people are always surprised I speak Spanish too. Just because I’m Black lol. There are a lot of us here in Latin America who are Afro Latino because of the Spaniards colonizing and bringing Africans who were enslaved. We got the diaspora all the way over here from the top of North America all the way to the Caribbean all the way to South America. Viva la diaspora Africana!

      My best friend Javier is a black Mexican from Veracruz. When me and him spoke Spanish in Orlando, Florida the Mexicans didn’t think he was Mexican because of his accent and they assumed he was imitating them until he broke down where he was from. It’s ignorant Mexicans all over Florida. They do the same with white Mexicans like my sister in law who’s from Mexico City

      Happy to see this comment. I met mestizo Mexicans in Florida who gave my friend Javier looks when he says he’s Mexican. He’s black too. But then they’re like ok he’s one of us. But what bothered me is when he would speak to them and would say “que?” Like they don’t know what he mean when they understand him perfectly well.
      Some mestizo Hispanics feel degraded when speaking Spanish with an Afro Latino which is so sad. A black friend of mine she’s from Cuba and goes to this Mexican store and Salvadorian store and when she speaks in Spanish, they respond in English but if it’s another Cuban they are happy to speak to her in Spanish.

    people in Dominican Republic have a colorism issue, sadly they don't identify themselve as being black, just cuz they speak Spanish. it's a shame. Good for you, you are one proud African! We should be proud of our roots. Many countries have been colonized by Spain, like Cuba they had African people there as well. I'm from Philippines 🇵🇭 and we have Spanish creole (Chavacano) as well as Tagalog is 30% uses Spanish loan words. I identify obviously as Asian, but can say we have Hispanic influence in culture, religion & language. Embrace who you are wherever you are & don't judge other countries, first learn about their history.
