  • What race are people from the Hispanic Caribbean nations? Today, we're going to discuss the history of America's Southern neighbors and the genetics and ancestry of some of the world's most unique regions.
    Go ahead and let me know your thoughts on the region, and tell me in the comments whether you have ancestry from any of these 3 nations, and whether you identify as White, Black, Mestizo, Mulatto or something else all together. Thanks for watching!

      Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

      Angel Mora-there are ONLY THREE "human races" on planet earth.
      This is scientific and genetic FACTS
      1.) Black
      2.) White
      3.) "Yellow"
      When these 3 "races" mixes they produce human beings of different shades and "colors"
      They ALL stems for THREE races period.

    I’m Cuban, and what annoys me a lot is that in the US I can’t say I’m Caribbean. I don’t like the term Latina or Latinx because I grew up in a place where no one uses such terms, and culturally we are all so different. Caribbean is the best I can get. But in the US people don’t seem to know that Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean, and they tell me that if I’m not black I can’t be Caribbean. It’s so frustrating! Anyway....Thank you for your video! I’m a new subscriber.

    Mi gente! I'm Greek-Dominicano, born and raised in Greece to a Greek father and a Dominican mother. Never questioned my lineage from my father's side, as his family was Greek and didn't have any records of having a mixed marriage, at least for a few generations. My mom, on the other hand, became an orphan quite early in her life and didn't knew much about her ancestry, with poor documentation making things even harder. I know that we have some african and native blood on our Dominican family, but I can't be sure when and who was the last "pure gene donor" (If that is even a term for it). All I know is that i was raised in Europe being perceived as a white male for the most part, even though I have a darker complex that you would expect even for a Greek person, especially during summer time. But I never felt I was white, and surely neither black. My father's half, which I'm very proud of, is Greek and is one of the oldest European ethnicities, while my Mothers half comes from another, different type of gene pool, with African ancestors brought by force, native people who where trying to clinch to life by interracial breeding and European/Asian settlers and immigrants. So the latter parts make me feel as a person of the world, having the superpower to call all earth home and all humans brothers. Mi Gente TQM!

      There is nothing unique about the Caribbean in terms of variety of races . The Middle East is the same. Northern Africa around the Mediterranean is the same and so is Europe with its immense immigrant population and the differences among its Mongolian-influenced Eastern and Russian regions, its Arabian-influenced Southern regions, and its Northern regions with their diverse physically different types such as Nordics and Laplanders who have a strong Mongoloid heritage.
      Also, the rest of the Americas, such as Brazil, Central America, Venezuela, etc are similar in racial varieties and admixtures. Furthermore, USA is composed of a smorgasbord of races and those who proudly claim whiteness and blackness are significantly mixed but cunningly ignore it while focusing their racist attention on Latinos.

      "Other studies, by Harold Brackman and Saul Friedman, reached similar conclusions. In a 1994 article in the New York Review of Books, David Brion Davis, an emeritus professor of history at Yale University and author of an award-winning trilogy of books about slavery, noted that Jews were one of countless religious and ethnic groups around the world to participate in the slave trade:
      The participants in the Atlantic slave system included Arabs, Berbers, scores of African ethnic groups, Italians, Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, Jews, Germans, Swedes, French, English, Danes, white Americans, Native Americans, and even thousands of New World blacks who had been emancipated or were descended from freed slaves but who then became slaveholding farmers or planters themselves.
      Davis went on to note that in the American South in 1830 there were “120 Jews among the 45,000 slaveholders owning twenty or more slaves and only twenty Jews among the 12,000 slaveholders owning fifty or more slaves.”

Also, they actually stated that most Dominican people have a level of self-hatred, and want to associate with almost anything else besides African/Black. Slave history is not discussed, skin complexion is a topic: lightskinned/white is preferable over dark skin. However, the food is African in origin, the dance and music, Origin of Africa, almost every aspect of the Island was originatrd from Africa. It's funny how Hispaniola consists of Haiti and DR; however, the major distinction conspicuous. Haitian people know and except their history; Dominicans, for the most point do not.

I'm the 6th generation but my grandparents came to Denver in 1941 where my mother and father met. My father is of Spaniard descent also.

      Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

    I am Dominican, the majority of “dark Dominicans” are of Haitian descent. We do not count Haitians as Dominicans even if they are born in the island because WE GO BY BLOOD 🩸 you MUST have at LEAST 1 Dominican parent to be considered Dominican. Haitians DNA makeup is very different than ours which is why even if they are born in DR they cannot be considered Dominicans. Now, there are A LOT of Haitians born in DR speaking Spanish who call themselves Dominicans because that’s all they know. However, REAL BLOODED DOMINICANS are VERY different than Haitians. Culture, languague, religions, music, food EVERYTHING. Also, they are MOSTLY monoracials while us Dominicans are MULTIRACIALS. Keep in mind that there are over 2 MILLIONS IF HAITIANS IN Dominican Republic‼️ a lot of people see a Dominican like me and don’t even think of a Dominican because they are used to seeing HAITIANS as Dominicans 😒 Haiti and DR are like Mexico and the United States! Same connected land but VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

      ​@@user-wi1ob4gl1ecitizenship works different in different countries. Due to our constitution is by blood, it's the same case with haitian btw, if two dominicans moved to haiti and had a kid there, their wouldn't be haitian, their constitution also gives citizenship based on blood, at least one of the parents has to be haitian. There are other ways to get it of course, if you were to get your aplication for residency approved, after living in DR, after living there for 2 years you can also apply for citizenship :) but in the case you had a kid there with another foreigner, you would also need to apply for the citizenship of your kid.

      That's because in the United States they have what's called the one drop rule, a person can be identified as black, if they they have at least 5% or more of African ancestry, that person can be identified as African.

    In the Dominican Republic (where im from) people dont divide themselves into black and white like here in the US when referring to race, we would just identify as Latino. other then romantic physical preferences, the color of your skin has minimal to no social-political impact over there.
    I remember being somewhat confused when i came here to the US and someone asked me if i was Black for the first time, my brain was not wired to see the color of my skin as my race. of course now that i opened my eyes to the paradigm we live in here in the US i identify as Black first, everything else is secondary.

    Loved the video and the insight about our Caribbean racial backgrounds. As a Cuban I’m 82% Spanish, 9% Native American and 7% African. So yeah, definitely a mestizo. But there’s no match for such term in the US Census, despite there’s been large numbers of Caribbean population inhabiting in the United States historically. Not just for decades but at least for the past two centuries.

    Thank you for your clear and concise depiction of our native Taino People wrong. My parents were born in Puerto Rico and I was born here in the mainland USA. I’ve always had trouble identifying with the Puerto Rican culture because of the way that they treated their women. The machismo displayed by the male population has always disgusted me. When I discovered my Taino heritage and researched it I realize that they revered women and saw them as their equals and not as inferior to them. A contrast from the modern-day culture which leads the world in femicide, I feel like people need to hear about the Taino Culture and there contributions to modern day society. They have given me great pride in who I am. They have shown me what type of blood runs through my veins and therefore what I myself am made of. So coming across your video brings me great joy and I simply just wanted to thank you for the recognition. Keep up the good work

    This is much more than an excellent work you do!
    I regret I did not find your channel before.
    Even though have to tell you that in the Dominican Republic side of Hispaniola, black people do not descend from haitians at all, but from the african slaves that were brought by spanish or other colonizadores, which are in great part the roots of haitians too, but not in the nationality way.
    We might share traces of race, no doubt, but since in DR side races have been mixing for ages, which has not happen that much in the H side, nowadays it shows not only in the characteristics of the people but also in culture, gastronomy, way of life in general.
    I appreciate very much this material, and mainly because it was done 5 yrs ago because no doubt nowadays things are changing very much due to political decisions.
    Many thanks!🇩🇴

    Hispanic and Latinos are not races. People in Latin America are white (Caucasians), black (African) and Native, those are races. The rest of the population are mestizos (mix races, mulatos). The biggest problem with white people is that they have to call us something, give us a name to put us all together. They think that all brown people are Mexicans (Mexico such a great country) but they know that this assumption is "politically incorrect." Therefore they created that stupid term Latino or Hispanic.
