Don't fully agree with that statement,the same could be said for many mulattos who are tri racial such as Dominicans. mestizos are predominatley white and indian, just because some mestizos and whites are tri racial that doesn't make them mulatto or increase/decrease their numbers, mulatto means half white half black.
It's hard to quantify, for lack of a better word, who is "black" or "white" in this context. Genetically, I am roughly half "black" and half "white" (with other ancestry as well), but both of my parents are of African ancestry, as were their parents, their parents, et cetera. What is true is that my family, the African American (father) and the Latino (mother) side, come from a long line of people of mixed African, European, Native and other origins. They are the same as most African descendants, people who are considered mulatto in Latin America. A mulatto is not half white and half black. In the 1500s that might have made sense, but mulattoes and their mixed descendants have been reproducing for five centuries now. A mulatto is a person of mixed African, European and sometimes Native or Asian origins.

besides mestizos still vastly outnumber afro latinos as do whites.

Yes. But that's beside the point.
Right I hear what your saying, but just because a mestizo or mulatto may have a miniscule third root in them that doesn't change their title whether it be mestizo or mulatto. people who are heavily tri racial such as many PR's I'd consider to be a mestizo/mulatto.
i dont know why they would hate blacks because they blackness runs in their vains only like maybe 15% maynot have african in them remember the slaves came to the island and south america first and mixed with the natives had babies who mixed with whites and so on and then there were the one who got raped.
I never experienced racism from a hispanic until i came to south florida....i just find it odd. Can someone explain it me or break it down to me like a 3 year old....
I think the majority of the racism comes from the lower SES groups. They are competing from the same limited resources. They are living in cramp and rough areas. When times get tough it is natural to join groups that share a similar background. Sometimes that similarity includes color of skin.
Talk about recycling a old thread! Well we Cubans do not hate our black brethern since we have African blood in us as well! Usually what divides people is culture especially in a city like Miami.
Maybe the bigger question to ask is why Haitians don't want to be associtaed with black Americans in Miami because you hear it all the time! You should hear what a lot of them say!
Isn't it obvious? Half of the Black American community does not know how to act. It saddens me. It's like we look to live up to the stereotypes placed upon us. Plus the music we are spewing doesn't help our image.

It was mostly spaniards that mixed with the natives in spanish South America not slaves, slaves were only brought to a few coastal areas of South America(mostly Brazil).
