      @@AmericanKing00 yes he’s African Mexican black/ African just like we have African American. African/black is his ethnicity Mexican is his nationality he’s just not black meaning African American which most people think when they hear black but it really means African decent
      there’s white (European) Mexicans too so Mexican is a nationally not a ethnicity so 80% of Mexicans are Mestizos meaning
      mixed with native/ indigenous and European specifically from Spain blood
      Just like here we have natives/ indigenous Americans whites and blacks Mexico has whites blacks and native/indigenous the difference is the Spanish Europeans who went to Mexico mixed with the natives to make a new ethnicity which are Mestizos which are 80% of Mexicans but when Europeans went to America they brought woman over so they didn’t need to take native woman they just wiped 90% of the native population there wasn’t a lot of mixing

    “Black” is not just African American. Slaves were sent all over Latin America and the Caribbean. More slaves sent there than the United States. Plenty of Afro Latinos. You can be black and Hispanic simultaneously. The end. Just like a Jamaican and an African American both black but also not from the same culture.

      Just like in America there’s natives/ indigenous whites and black the difference is 90% of the natives got wiped out and the Europeans didn’t mix much with natives because they brought their own woman over but when the Spanish who are European went to Mexico they mixed with native woman to create what 80% of Mexicans are the rest are European decent African decent or native / indigenous.
      He’s not African American he’s African Mexican / Afro Latino people just associate black with American when it means African decent blacks aren’t indigenous to any other continent but Africa
      it’s not just a light skin or dark skin thing either its other physically traits like hair texture nose and lips he obviously doesn’t display many European or indigenous traits he has very corse hair so he’s probably not mixed so what does that leave you with if he was to take a dna I’m sure 70% of his make up would be from African countries

      His heart will break. He doesn't understand he comes from a rich African heritage. Gaspar Yanga - often simply Yanga or Nyanga (May 14, 1545 - 1618) was an African who led a Maroon colony of enslaved Africans in the highlands near Veracruz, Mexico (then New Spain) during the early period of Spanish colonial rule. He successfully resisted a Spanish attack on the colony in 1609. The maroons continued their raids on Spanish settlements. Finally in 1618, Yanga achieved an agreement with the colonial government for the self-rule of the maroon settlement. It was later called San Lorenzo de los Negros, and also San Lorenzo de Cerralvo

      Not denying the shipwreck part, but It’s bigger than a shipwreck. Mexico was a Slave Colony during the Transatlantic slave trade era bringing many Africans to Mexico during that time. European colonialism led to many of the Native Mexican people being mixed with European, and then with there being a small percentage of Africans in Mexico there could have been some mixing there too. That’s why today we see Mexicans of all shades, some that look like Canelo Alvarez, and some that look like the guy in this video, but they both have Mexican heritage. Hella interesting information though.
