Answer 2

♥♥☻☺
People from Mexico♥ were mixed with the Natives, who lived there before them, and the language difference, if any, is just by being seperated by a whole ocean. Origional Spanish, really are from Europe, but now, You can be of Spanish decent, and be considered any other race also. Like, Hispanic-Black, Hispanic-White,or Asian or Indian and anything else. The Spanish are basically, decended from every continent.

You can't always tell the difference between a white and a hispanic person, because, some spanish people are decended from the hispanic-white group or European group.

And Some Africans Speak French because many of the European countries are in control or allied with the African countries.

Answer 3

People from Spain are European. (White) Arabs ruled Spain for 700 years and some Spaniards are a bit darker than other Europeans, sometimes.

Mexicans (a nationality) have a mixed race of the indigenous (native Indians i.e. Aztecs and Mayan) African, as the White man took Slaves to EVERY part of the New World and Spaniard and at times other races.

The same for other Spanish Speaking nations. It's usually a mix of the native indian, Spaniards and Africans. Some countries like Argentina had a huge immigration of Italians, Chile had many Germans hence the whiter latinos....

Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, parts of Columbia, Brazil, Panama have "darker" latinos.....

Hope this helps........

Answer 5

i'm Spanish and that i'm complete-blooded white. many cases i've got been noted as Hspanic purely reason i'm a Spaniard. confident, Spanish is a white language, as final time I checked, Castillian (or Spanish) became the language of Castile, now Spain, this is in Europe. confident, the rationalization human beings of a few of those races communicate Spanish is ecause of the Spanish empire and the colonisation stream. i think of, the rationalization that maximum individuals think of Spanish isn't a white language is by using the vast inhabitants of Spanish conversing non-whites (and lack of know-how), such as you stated. on the grounds that latinos of blended race a great deal outnumber Spaniards, human beings pass with maximum individuals. purely like stereotypes. As for Spaniards having Arab blood, confident, this is authentic in maximum circumstances, because of the fact the Moors (Arabs) conquered and ruled most of the Iberian peninsula, for like, a millenia. yet wait, I stated Iberian peninsla-not in straightforward terms Spain. meaning: Portuguese human beings would even have Arab blood. yet, no person says Portuguese isn't a white language, because of the fact there are actually not as many non-white Portuguese audio device than white. notwithstanding, what's humorous as that they don't think of an identical of English. English is spoken with the help of many non-whites and nonetheless considered a "white language", somewhat unfair in case you question me. i'm Spanish and that i'm incredibly faded-epidermis coloration has not something to do with race. it is not that individuals do not care approximately international historic previous, that's purely that maximum (yet not all, enable's not make relaxing of our knowledgeable pals) are blind to it.

Answer 6

*I'm Hispanic, not Latino..

Spanish are European, therefore their skin might be lighter. Also there are some dark complexed as well, because of the Moors that invaded the Iberian Peninsula back in the days before the conquest of the New World.

Mexicans are dark skinned because of the Native Indians intermarried with the Spanish during the 1500's

Answer 9

whoa, remarkable answers!!!

some of you are right and others off the planet.

here is my take.

spaniards from spain decended on mexico and south america in the 1500's.

it wasn't long before the indian women became pregnant. slaves were brought from africa largely to vera cruz. like thomas jefferson and sally you guess what happened.

from the 1840's to 1918, ( and probably earlier) africans americans escaped into mexico. us troops went into mexico after the escaped african americans under troops commanded by gereral jack pershing, us army as recently as 1918. the african american were given santuary by the mexicans, believe it or not. you can guessed what happened.

likewise, african americans escaped to nova scotia canada. there is still an african american population in nova scotia.

most of what happened is a unbelieveable human event in north and south america.

if you look at the brazilian population it does not take very long to figure out what happened in brazil. about 90 million brazilians are black about 90 million are white and then there are the people in between black and white and indian.

there is a large japanese population in brazil. as you can guess, it was not very long before they were touched. many of the japanese brazilian have returned to japan with the brazilian culture, believe it or not, there is a carnival in japan, brought back from brazil.

there are i believe 24 distinct racial categories in brazil.

there are also several racial categories in mexico
