The Spanish called them pirates,but most of them preferred to be known as privateers and held papers and documents of authority to attack Spanish targets.Of course many were also forgers and opportunitists.

It is written and documented that Pirates were the main cause of attacks
in the Caribbean and colonies in North America. The most notorious of all was Edward Teach, know as ""Black Beard"". There were also Female Pirates who were just as ruthless as their male counterparts.
The names of Anne Bonney and Mary Read are written in our History books
as women who dressed themselves as men to sail and work on pirates ships.

Yes, I knew that, but I also know that relatively speaking, there were very few women who came to the New World from Spain, and much of the "mestizo" population resulted from the rape (or sometimes consensual) of native women by Spanish men. (No, as much as you'd like to "pretend" that everything in Ltin America was wonderful, it wasn't.) ps: It's spelled "apartheid", and although a form ("Jim Crow laws") of it was practiced after Reconstruction (1865-1880) till the 1960s in some place, the term "apartheid" is more associated with South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe.
