So if Latino and Hispanic are not races, then what race are hispanic and latino people? In Latin America there are many races of people.
A lot of people believe that latino & hispanic are races. Some people even believe that Puerto Rican & Dominican are races.
You’ll never know the stress I have gone through in my life trying to explain to people the differences between, nationality, ethnicity, culture & race. It gets very tedious explaining the same thing over & over again.
But a simple search on google lets you know that so many people are uneducated on this topic.
Sadly, however, it’s not just the non latino or non hispanic community that struggle with the idea of Puerto Ricans & Dominicans being Black. You’ve probably heard & seen many obviously, clearly Black people the happen to speak Spanish saying “I’m not Black, I’m Puerto Rican”. You can find yourself in some serious fights if you tell some Dominicans & Puerto Ricans “Puerto Ricans are Black”!
“What race are hispanics?”
Long story short hispanic & latino are not races. I will explain this in more detail in future videos. There are multiple races within the Latino community. You can be Black, white, Native American (Taino), biracial or a mix of all the races & still be 100% hispanic or latino.
“So what are Afro Latinos?”
The term afro latino is no different from the term African American. An Afro Latino is a person from Latin America that happens to be of significant African descent. In the same way an African American is someone form the United States that happens to be of significant African descent. No difference. Just like the saying goes, the only difference between an Afro Puerto Rican, Dominican, Jamaican, Haitian & African American is a boat stop.

The fact that I had a guy who took offence when I stated puerto rican is NOT a race and that he was black….1 and done date.
From the first video I had a flashback of when I tried to correct a brother at my school that he was a black Dominican. But sadly he kept denying it, and I’ve personally been to the Dominican Republic and all I could see was black people of all shades. We truly need to wake up our people and properly give them the right perspective of what Africa is.
I’m first generation American n I tell people all the time, I’m BLACK. the problem is people think if you’re black it’s the same as saying African American. Black to me means Pan African.
It took me a while to understand difference between race and ethnicity. And you Angel, actually broke it down so well for me. It’s no secret that there is this huge issue with “blanqueando la raza” or “lightening the race” in DR and PR (I’m both) so although I knew I was darker than my elder brother from my mom’s first marriage (he’s a white Dominican), we assumed I could never admit I was black. My mother even took me to the salons when I was little to perm my hair straight a couple of times a year because she couldn’t deal with my tight curls. As an adult, I have embraced my true self and since having a black daughter I raised her to embrace her race with her natural curls and light chocolate skin, and her ethnicity through our music and food. She’s very proud of who she is.
