are latinos/hispanics Black or White?

Answer 1

well out of the two they would be white

Answer 2

Some of both, or neither, depending on your way of framing the question. From an anthropological point of view, some Hispanics are majority Caucasoid, some are majority *******, and some are majority Amerindian. From a cultural point of view, they've had a separate cultural history for at least the last 500 years or so, so really, there's no reason to group them in with either. Hope that helps.

If you want a simpler answer, the majority of Hispanics, at least in the US, are majority white, for whatever that's worth. In other countries, especially those of NE South America, that's not true, where there is a large number of both black and asian Hispanics, while in certain countries, particularly Peru and Ecuador, there are larger numbers of Amerindians. But really, these are kind of pointless factoids.

Edit: I noticed a factual error; I had put NW South America, where I meant NE South America. I knew I should've just listed them: French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname.

Edit again: I felt a need to respond to someone who stated further down that there are only 3 races. He is wrong. There are, at an absolute minimum, 7 races: Caucasoid, *******, Mongoloid, Amerindian, Australian Aboriginal, Khoisan, and Pygmy. You could quite possibly include the Negritos of certain isolated Pacific and Indian islands as an 8th race, but that is open to debate and they have an extremely low population; somewhere in the low thousands, where all the other races are at least into the hundreds of thousands.

Answer 3

All colors are hispanic or latinos.

My brother is 25% Polish, 25% German and 50% Guatemalan.

Of course Black and white Hispanic. I know my dear friend of mine is from Belize (Central America) she is Black and she speaks both English and Spanish.

Answer 4

Both or seperate. Hispanics are very diverse. I seen black hispanics, white hispanics, mixed Hispanics, there are even asian ones too. I don't know why in the U.S. they classify it as a race. But most of the latinos that emigrate here are meztizo(mixed white and indegenous) and indigenous people.

Answer 5

White.

Answer 6

Latinos are white. There exists only three races. The easiest way of "classification" is Europeans, Africans, and Asians. Everything else is a subdivision of the three.

Answer 7

It could be either. There were a lot of people from Africa who migrated to latino countries. Just as there is also a lot of Spanish/ Eurpean blood. It really just depends. Some latinos are very fair skinned with blonde hair and blue eyes. Then you have some who are darker than me.

Answer 8

ur question is a little to general. which latinos are u referring to?
if u are reffering to mexican or central america, they are white, black and indian mixed.
if u mean argentina or chile, they are definitely white.
if u mean brazil, they are black
if u mean peru, they are largely amerindians

it's a myth that hispanics in usa are whites. they are mixed. whites in mexico don't immigrate to america because they're rich.

it's also a myth that all whites in latin america are iberian origin. there are large group of german, italian, british and other european groups especially in argentina.

Answer 9

Hispanic/Latino can be of any race it's a very mixed culture.

Answer 10

Neither. The only reason we have the terms "Black" and "white" to describe races is for the ability to polarize groups. Nobody is truly "black" and nobody is truly "white," so we shouldn't insist on categorizing people when all it does is create false divisions.

Answer 11

Latino and I'm very proud of it
