All Latinos Must Identify with racial Blackness?
Strange as it might seem, there is this very prominent and constant effort in the USA on the part of Afro and Anglo Americans, to force all Latinos to identify with blackness. Now, please note that I do not have anything against someone identifying with blackness and feeling proud of being black. However, what I do have an issue with is for Anglos and Afros to feel that they must force all Latinos to identify themselves as such regardless of their individual racial heritage. Why? Well, very simple, simple, because there are literally millions upon millions of Latinos, in fact the vast majority, who simply cannot identify with West Africa sub Saharan blacks because there is no West African Sub Saharan Black in them. For example, there are approx. four million East Asian Latinos in Latin America who cannot identify as such. There is also a vast number of Mestizo Latinos who can only identify with Native American and European.
There are also unmixed number of Native American Latinos who cannot identify with West Africa blacks. Another group are Latinos of Germanic Descent in Southern Brazil,
and those people of Argentina who are a combo of Italian and Spaniard. So do they insist that all Latinos identify as such is the question? Surely a properly educated person would never attempt such a thing. So those involved in such an effort are obviously lacking proper education and can only succeed in convincing others who are as abysmally ignorant as themselves.
Mexico's northern and western regions have the highest percentages of white population, with the majority of the people not having native admixture or being of predominantly European ancestry, resembling in aspect that of northern Spaniards. In the north and west of Mexico, the indigenous tribes were substantially smaller than those found in central and southern Mexico, and also much less organized, thus they remained isolated from the rest of the population or even in some cases were hostile towards Mexican colonists. The northeast region, in which the indigenous population was eliminated by early European settlers, became the region with the highest proportion of whites during the Spanish colonial period
