thank you SLC because as a white hispanic of Cuban descent I also don't hate blacks!
I don't appreciate NYer75's comments either.
If you grow up in a multi racial immigrant city like Miami you are bound to have friends from all different countries and races.
Cubans are white, black ,mulatto and all sorts of races and colors and have also lived,worked and grew up with each other.
I will leave it to the wise words of my mother who said she didn't know what racism was until she arrived in America.

Of course you should be more clear and say that the upper class of Brazil and Columbia are 99.99999% White.

In Columbia the majority of the population is Mestizo. There are also some blacks, And thier are also some pure whites. The pure whites are the ruling class and mistreat all the non-white people (metizos and blacks). It's pretty much the same situation in most latin American countries.

In Brazil half the country is mixed, but again--the ruling class is White and mistreats the non-white majority.

IN both cases, this is the legacy of Colonialism, and the continued practice of White Supremacy.

To be clear the majority of people in Brazil are as black as the average black American if we are talking DNA. And they are mistreated by the Brazilian racist White Supremacist system.

Yeah, she's a real pedigree. She has about as much black in her as any southern European native.
