That girl is right we are racist to each other. I’m a black Mexican from Guerrero where slavery was abolished first and we had a black president before Obama (Vicente Guerrero). I’m proud to be black or in my peoples words “negro”! Also yes more black Latinos on tv please!!!
"I'm not defending my cultural identity to anyone anymore" that part!!! this vid is so spot on. I literally had to yell at my Latino father that YES, I am BLACK. he married a whole black woman, why was he surprised when his kid is also black?! wild.
Encanto is literally my family 😂 my entire life I thought every Colombian was mixed like me and growing up is when I realized the racism and division that still exists and took pride in my moms black family as well as my dads indigenous family and how different they are from each other but we’re all still Colombian
True story, my husband's best friend is Dominican. He is dark but swears he is white. He says that he is not black, he's white. He selects white Hispanic on the census. So yea there are Afro-Latinos that deny their blackness.
Look at the Proud Boy Leader, Enrique Tarrio. Prior to that January 2021 incident, his Wikipedia page just had his name and a much more radical looking picture of him dressed in militant attire. Then, as if to try and improve his image and make him less racist and radical they added, Cuban American and then a bit after that Afro Cuban. You can search back in the edits and see when it was done so someone was trying to clean up his image. Now he’s pictured in a suit and looks like a politician or an attorney.
Es triste pero si pasa, los Sammy Sosas del mundo. Aunque son desgraciados, nunca me gusta ver a ellos como los representantes de los Afro Latino; Gente como Roberto Clemente y Pedro Albizu Campos son los héroes de los Afro Latino, y tanto otros que de veras son orgullosos de sus raíces Africanos. 💯👍🏾👍🏾🇵🇷🇨🇺🇩🇴🇧🇸🇯🇲🇭🇹
Andee you made me cry. As a black Mexican I’ve heard anti blackness from my own family and culture. Everything you said I have experienced. It’s so hard to find black Mexicans from Mexico as allies because they have been taught to dislike their blackness and those of us who are proud are constantly told to stop calling ourselves black because we are mixed and to accept everything else that we might be as equally important as a way to try and erase our black roots. I meet black Mexicans all the time from Mexico who are proud to say it but only within their families but never in public because they don’t want to be labeled as black because that makes them feel less. My people have so much confusion because of the anti blackness that resides in Mexican culture. I hope one day to see black Mexicans from Mexico stand proud and claim their blackness like Some of us have done all our lives. Afro-Mexicana♥️ Afro-Latina negra orgullosa! Thank you for this conversation.
I'm Mexican and I can understand how you feel. Mexicans are super prejudice within themselves. Just being morena is critiqued so I can imagine being black. I think it might be more difficult for black Mexicans because Mexico is soo mixed that the majority are light brown to light now. So it's rare now a days to see darker skin Mexicans especially in the media. Also the fact that the man who started and spread this whole mestizaje movement in Mexico made Mexicans think that we are only Spanish and Indigenous when we clearly are way more mixed than that.
Finally, Pero Like has actual Afro-Latinos with a variety of shades. Pero Like needs to do more on diversifying their Afro-Latino crew members, but this is a start. As an Afro-Honduran, who advocates proper representation of actual Afro-Latinos of all shades on my channel. I have hope with the inclusivity here and other media outlets💯
Yes because it really confuses the rest of the African diaspora and it creates a lot of question marks. This is great start, I too would love to see more accurate representations of Afro Latinos and not just mixed Afro Latinos. It's equivalent to mixed race Blacks stealing the spotlight from monoracial Blacks.
I started taking his type of Spanish accent because I listen to him so often. Someone told me I sound like I’m a telenovela star when I speak Spanish lol 😂
I loved being able to produce this for you, mi gente! A lot of important topics were covered, not all made it to the video, might have to release a part 2 soon!
It's feels so good too see my brother and sisters standing in there blackness I always was proud to be a black man never wanted too be anything else will Smith is one of the biggest actors in the world and he is black
Puerto Rican’s(here in America)do the same thing and on the island there’s tons of Dark skin Afro-Latinos. I’m a dark skin Afro-Latina quien habla español..Y cuando hablo en español,siempre me preguntan, dónde aprendiste hablar español? Tan perfecto? Y I say from my family,mi madre,mi abue,quien más? 🇵🇷🇵🇷
Saludos desde Puerto Rico!🇵🇷..I very proud of our African heritage/ancestry..we like gumbo, Variety is a Spice of Life!!..wouldn’t want it any other way!😎..an btw, Where da Mofongo at?! Peace out Beautifuls😍✌️Cuidao
@@manny1up Ricans worship blacks and the whole Hispanic community knows it. We aren't Africans but Hispanics and stop trying to destroy our heritage by letting these self haters afrocentric to hijack our community.
I’m Haitian and I love my Latino people. I learned to speak Spanish by listening and repeating. I even try to improve on my Spanish, and whenever a Spanish person would hear me speak, their jaw just drop like where you from, how you speak so perfect. One thing I don’t do is that I never start speaking Spanish right away, I waited to see if they will talk crap about me first. You would be surprise smh.
@@dominicanpatriot7251 As if racism and more importantly colorism is less prevalent in the DR than the US. It’s worse because it’s still acceptable, prevalent and/or not talked about.
@@jaeshasway worry about blackness and colorism within the black community and Haiti, we Dominicans got things to worry about better than this backwards and worthless blackness that won't build nothing for Dominican Republic
This conversation has to continue with the Afro-Latin & African Americans communities. The colorism thing is partially based on perception of what some people see & how someone speaks as it relates to a respective culture. (i.e. they don't really look black/black enough, you don't talk black enough) Another thing is not being part of a certain culture & purposely being excluded during social interactions because you're not part of a particular culture. In stating all of this, the basis is superficial. Sometimes we never get to connect with good people because of superficial conditioning. Whenever I see myself rejecting a person I just met I question is it superficial? If so, I know this is something I need to work on within myself. How did this way of thinking start for me? I invite anyone reading this message to do the same.
Patacones for us Costa Ricans lol. I love patacones/tostones....my uncle joke around with me and ask I I'm Dominican because I eat so much patacones/tostones.
I love this i watched Queen of the south and it kind of upset me that the cast was full of European latinas and not really Latin people who are indigenous to the land or even Afro latinx ppl. It wasn’t until season 4 where they included Dominicans and showed an Afro Latino man but Mexico has dark ppl. Also the idea that everyone in central and South America who is dark is a byproduct of slavery is nonsense because the tropics will produce melanin dominant ppl way more than it will produce anything else so yes we are African because we are HUMAN but some of the ppl in this video could’ve come from ppl who have been in south and Central America before slavery was even an idea.
Best afrolatin food is peruvian. Anticuchos, carapulcra, picarones, chanfainita, tacu tacu, cau cau y eso sin mencionar los postres. I think that we have more recipes of afroperuvian cuisine than the hole cuisines of other countries.
@@773x60 It's not obvious bec there are many people that think it's a race. Plus the way you worded it makes it seem like Latino is a race. If I say I'm half of 2 races wouldn't I say 2 races and not say a race and an ethnicity? (half black and half Latino) No, Latino doesn't automatically mean you're POC. There are white Latinos.
@@deed2157 Theres white-skinned latinos. A white skinned mexican is still considered of color because of their ethnicity. “the term “people of color” (POC) encompasses people of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.” U can argue against it but it’s how it is. And let me rephrase it so u can get it since u want to dtm. If your dads just black, and your mom is a lighter complexioned latina, would you still be considered Afro Latino if you come out lighter than what’s considered “black” skinned?
Yes English is the official language of Belize, but almsot the entire population speaks kriol/creole and more than half the population knows Spanish. Although UK English is our primary language most belizeans do not speak UK english.
They are not and they very anti latino, they discriminate guatemalans a lot even though most guatemalans in Belize are indigenous, the black Belizeans are the ones discriminating them
I grew up with Dominicans(Both colors lol) and I can tell you that how Gadiel's sister is explaining it, that she's being PC because Older people in the DR can be brutal lol smh...in all the life that I've lived, I've never known Oxtail to be a DR Dish but you live and you learn
I miss Gadiel, his personality is so big so bright and comes across so welcoming.
What happened to him?
Yeah what happy to gadiel 😞
No I just meant he is not a regular anymore.

Thank you for bringing Gadiel back from retirement for this talk with delicious food. Inclusion.. that's all.
I loved how Encanto included a variety of colors of Colombians.
Encanto is literally my family 😂 my entire life I thought every Colombian was mixed like me and growing up is when I realized the racism and division that still exists and took pride in my moms black family as well as my dads indigenous family and how different they are from each other but we’re all still Colombian
I appreciate Disney so much for that. They could’ve easily made an all yellow or white skinned family but they didn’t. It’s such a blessing to me
This was such a nourishing, empowering Afro-Latino meal.❤

Can we please have that have on a bumper sticker, “Oye pa’ comer comida yo siempre ‘stoy disponible”
The Empanadas looks in a way similar to Nigerian Meat Pies or Jamaican Patties. I wonder if they taste the same.🙂
