Didn't you hear the video we're all mixed, it was "surprising to hear that Puerto Rico n Cuba have a majority European admixture". If you've ever been to Puerto Rico you would see it....the majority of Puerto Ricans are Spaniards, Spaniards are not as light skinned as Germanics....
Angel Mora-there are ONLY THREE "human races" on planet earth. This is scientific and genetic FACTS 1.) Black 2.) White 3.) "Yellow" When these 3 "races" mixes they produce human beings of different shades and "colors" They ALL stems for THREE races period.
I’m Cuban, and what annoys me a lot is that in the US I can’t say I’m Caribbean. I don’t like the term Latina or Latinx because I grew up in a place where no one uses such terms, and culturally we are all so different. Caribbean is the best I can get. But in the US people don’t seem to know that Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean, and they tell me that if I’m not black I can’t be Caribbean. It’s so frustrating! Anyway....Thank you for your video! I’m a new subscriber.
Hey! The Hell with what anyone else says or thinks!!! You identify as Caribbean so be it!! If they don't get it that's on them. Now if someone is genuinely interested in what you mean by being Caribbean educate them yet if they want to try and tell you who and what you are tell em' to kick rocks!!! God bless from your Puerto Rican Caribbean brother!!!
Use Caribbean if THAT is what YOU PREFER, Please, Please , Please do not let anyone change or call you what you do not like. Their are so many who do not like the term LatinX. If someone correct me or I ask them what they prefer I respect that person. Kindly correct them and move on from there.🙂🌄🌍
You're are Caribbean, am from Jamaica and I am from the Caribbean, my grandmother is Cuban born. So we're all from the Caribbean Island, so don't worry about what these people think, just as long as you know where you're from...
I am Dominican and me and my 3 siblings none has the same skin tone, height, hair or body frame. We are very diverse even whitin family, that's how mixed we are.

I'm boricua = (puerto rican) Thank you for explaining to the world who we really are, and why we are of all colors, black, white, mestizos, etc... It's a common mistake to treat us as a homogeneous group, when we really are a palette of colors. Proud to be from 🇵🇷
Mestizo is just predominantly Spaniards mixed with Taino Natives. It's not the world that is confused, it's those with the eurocentric mindset that want to socially construct everything that are confused this includes some of our own Natives 😢. Proud Cubano and being apart of most of the world is a beautiful thing❤🌎
I NEVER KNEW the difference between being black or white, UNTIL I CAME TO LIVE IN U.S.A.! My Caribbean brothers and sisters are just that; MY EXTENDED FAMILY!!!
🤣😂🤣😂 you’re hilarious. As a black woman I’d be insulted if someone didn’t notice my blessed abundance of melanin. A civilised person can acknowledge difference, without displaying heinous discriminatory behaviours.
Then, why do live in the U.S.? I been in caribbean islands where the people are not so complimentary on my Whiteness. In fact, there was near hostility. I don't have White privilege, I don't have any monetary power over others.
Am Dominican and I love my people Puerto Rican and Cuban so proud to be your brother I love when I heard Dominica republic Puerto rico and cuba love 🇨🇺🇩🇴🇵🇷
@@rowena6249 Isn't it obvious, all mixed with whites back in the day from somewhere. Spanish were from Europe. They made millions of Mexicans and Hispanics everywhere, including Hispaniola, now Dominican & Haiti.
I'm Dominican, with my great-great grandmother emigrating here to RD from Lebanon in the late 1800's. Thank you for your insightful video and the mention of emigration from the middle east, asia, etc.

I am Puerto Rican and when people here in the us ask what i am i always explain Spaniard, indian (taino), and african which gave me this great head of curls! ;) we all look different even within the same family i am one of four children we all look different from our skin color down to hair color and texture i think its a beautiful thing!
I agree! I am Rican from the island. My mother and father are from the island as well as my grandparents and their parents. Most people think I look Middle Eastern.
I’m Dominican born and raised in Santiago and I was surprised that I actually was more Italian than Spanish! I have ~55% European, ~25% African, ~12% Taíno and 8% Middle Eastern! So it’s so interesting that we come in all colors and heritage!
Que lo que mi gente. Im 78 percent european(Portugal, Spain, French, German and Polish)17 percent Native American(Taino and Arawak) and 4 percent North African (Moroccan) and I’m white as hell 😂. When people see me they swear I’m European. When I tell them my mom is a white Dominican and white Haitian and my dad is a white Brazilian I get all kinds of looks. My grandma is from Fonds des Blanc, Haiti and that’s where you find the white Haitians like my grandma and when she comes to Dominican Republic to see family, the customs can’t believe to see a white Haitian
@@icecreambeats101 Cause you're European as you said you're more European than so called "Haitian" most Haitians are darker and do not dominantly belong to one race.
I’m Dominican and my ancestry is 76% European - Mainly Portuguese 9% Taino 11% African 4% Arab and Turkish Just goes to show how diverse we are 🇩🇴 🇨🇺 🇵🇷
I bet in this case the “Portuguese ancestry” is actually from Galicia (northwest Spain). DNA test companies usually address Portugal and Galicia as one genetic group, thus leaving to some “mistakes” in identity assumptions that only can be corrected by history knowledge.
I'm half Dominican, took ancestry test, it said my ancestors were African, Asian, Native, Spanish, and Portuguese, wondered how did that happen, pretty cool info, thank you!
@@hendricktheodule9793 I completely agree with you, colonization wasn't good, but I can't do anything about it, but I do honor my Caribbean family, and my African ancestors, even though I am so light skinned because of colonization, it is who I am, and I can't do anything about it, even though I have European in me, I love my Dominican peoples.
As a Puerto Rican I'll say this video is amazing. Thank you for Educating people who were confused. Its very hard when you from the Caribbean and people ask what your mixed with and you cant just explain every single detail because there is alot behind it. Thank you! 😊
La Dama del Caribe That is not what I've heard, even from Dominicans. In fact, I personally know a few, and they consider themselves to be African/Black first. Also, they actually stated that most Dominican people have a level of self-hatred, and want to associate with almost anything else besides African/Black. Slave history is not discussed, skin complexion is a topic: lightskinned/white is preferable over dark skin. However, the food is African in origin, the dance and music, Origin of Africa, almost every aspect of the Island was originatrd from Africa. It's funny how Hispaniola consists of Haiti and DR; however, the major distinction conspicuous. Haitian people know and except their history; Dominicans, for the most point do not. A person who denies their origin IS-a sad, lost person.
Killah Los .....voodoo and proud ...it s 2017 ....that is lame ....shut your GAPED 💩ass moron...i m supposed to be ashamed or something? ...... Laughable
Thank you for this info. I’ve done a dna ancestry test after my grandmother told me she was from the Caribbean. I have found that I have family from Mexico, Panama, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti and South America. My mind is blown as I fell that I know so very little. I will continue to dig deeper into this lost history. I feel somewhat cheated to not have known all my life. Thank you again.
Puerto Ricans are mixed with a lot. I know a lot of Puerto Rican who are Chinese mixed with African Hawaiian, Spanish, Indian Because Hawaii took in thousands of Puerto Ricans in the late 1800's because the hurricanes. They worked on the plantations. A lot have moved to Virginia, New York, Ohio, Florida. Puerto Rican specifically is not one specific race but a mixture of multiple races. They are beautiful people though.
Juan im prican by both parents. But i actually look more Asian my features and eyes .people cant believe im prican or latino i find it as a compliment exotic looking 😀

My family as well, I think this is the reason racism seems so alien to my mind. I have twin Uncles on my mother's side and no one believed they were brothers, let alone twins. Louie is darker, with black hair and brown eyes while his twin Joel is pale with crystal blue eyes and fair hair. We are just people, race is a silly distraction.

As a Dominican I discovered that I am 49.6 African which I knew I had some of but was happy to know that I have a rich mix of Sierra Leone, Nigeria, the some Iberian peninsula, even 1% Latvian
I remember being bullied when I found out I’m Afro Cubano people thought I was not claiming my race...like what? You can be 100% black and 109% Latino but Americans aren’t really taught about it so I don’t really blame them but the bullying was unnecessary
People would get on my shit on saying I couldn’t be black and Latina at the same time like??? Latino is not a race but a region as to where you are from.

@@Renzee-ct4wz I agree that unfortunately in many peoples minds there is a physiological war going on. I am sorry for anyone caught up in it. We are all humans. It is a false narrative about Jewish slave masters, and Jews controlling the slave trade. "Other studies, by Harold Brackman and Saul Friedman, reached similar conclusions. In a 1994 article in the New York Review of Books, David Brion Davis, an emeritus professor of history at Yale University and author of an award-winning trilogy of books about slavery, noted that Jews were one of countless religious and ethnic groups around the world to participate in the slave trade: The participants in the Atlantic slave system included Arabs, Berbers, scores of African ethnic groups, Italians, Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, Jews, Germans, Swedes, French, English, Danes, white Americans, Native Americans, and even thousands of New World blacks who had been emancipated or were descended from freed slaves but who then became slaveholding farmers or planters themselves. Davis went on to note that in the American South in 1830 there were “120 Jews among the 45,000 slaveholders owning twenty or more slaves and only twenty Jews among the 12,000 slaveholders owning fifty or more slaves.”
jay W lmao fuck you dumb ass drop out lmao.soo if your Japanese in The U.S your white and if you are Jamaican in the U.S your black lmao😂😂😂how stupid you sound lmao
Taino is pronounce: TAI E NOO. And we all have love for each other (Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba)We're a very tight family. Proud to be a Puerto Rican.
What about Haiti? Natives of Haiti were also Taino. There seem to be division, particularly between Dominican Republic and Haiti. This love should be wide-spread!
I'm Dominican. I've always felt a deeper connection with Puerto Ricans and Cubans than I have with South Americans, Mexicans and Central Americans. Makes me feel like we are family members who were separated back in the 1500s.
It depends because south and central America have cities that are considered Caribbean for example Cartagena in Colombia very similar to Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
I don't know; I have tons of Mexican friends. Even amongst Mexicans, there's a difference between states; like, their accent is different depending on what state you are from. People from Guerrero, Mexico, are darker and have more African ancestry, and central and northern Mexico has more European DNA. Not all Mexicans are the same like my friends don't play soccer they play basketball that's how we met.
He said extinct in Cuba, which they are. Now i'm sure if they live in the rural mountains as you said, census reports and statistics probably don't try as hard to get info from there so of course fully native peoples are unknown to outiders ya know
claudia garcia yes and there are fully natives at urban and suburban areas as well. But most of them live in farms and mountains and they live poorly which is sad .
Most Puerto Ricans and Cubans think there 100% white then they look stupid in the face when Trump reminds there ass that your not down with his Confederate Neo Nazi Squad that hates all so called Black people
I've always considered Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico to be one country divided into three islands. The iconic, legendary and beautiful Celia Cruz sang about this in one of her songs called " Soy Antillana " which is a beautiful song- " Borinquen, Cuba y Quisqueya son uno en mi corazon "

@@familyandfriends3519I swear to god you always coming for Puerto Ricans like what issue you have with them? Puerto Ricans are Spanish because they speak SPANISH and they classify as Hispanic as well as latinos

Mi gente! I'm Greek-Dominicano, born and raised in Greece to a Greek father and a Dominican mother. Never questioned my lineage from my father's side, as his family was Greek and didn't have any records of having a mixed marriage, at least for a few generations. My mom, on the other hand, became an orphan quite early in her life and didn't knew much about her ancestry, with poor documentation making things even harder. I know that we have some african and native blood on our Dominican family, but I can't be sure when and who was the last "pure gene donor" (If that is even a term for it). All I know is that i was raised in Europe being perceived as a white male for the most part, even though I have a darker complex that you would expect even for a Greek person, especially during summer time. But I never felt I was white, and surely neither black. My father's half, which I'm very proud of, is Greek and is one of the oldest European ethnicities, while my Mothers half comes from another, different type of gene pool, with African ancestors brought by force, native people who where trying to clinch to life by interracial breeding and European/Asian settlers and immigrants. So the latter parts make me feel as a person of the world, having the superpower to call all earth home and all humans brothers. Mi Gente TQM!
Escribe en español bien! Saludo, desde La Republica Dominicana! Somos de todos los colores y de los mismos padres. El divorcio es algo moderno, antes eran pocas familias que no tenian un monton de ninos. Visitanos!
In the Dominican Republic (where im from) people dont divide themselves into black and white like here in the US when referring to race, we would just identify as Latino. other then romantic physical preferences, the color of your skin has minimal to no social-political impact over there. I remember being somewhat confused when i came here to the US and someone asked me if i was Black for the first time, my brain was not wired to see the color of my skin as my race. of course now that i opened my eyes to the paradigm we live in here in the US i identify as Black first, everything else is secondary.
Nice! I am Dominican, too, and my DNA is composed 48% European (39% Italian 7 Ireland 2% Portugal) 32% African (Bantu, yoruba) 7% Taino 3% Amerindian (Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela)
It is pronounced “Taíno”, or “Ta-ee-no” rather than “Tay-no”. Great video! Much of their language integrated into the Spanish of the Caribbean, and persists today.
One can`t no say "you are from this or that race" in Cuba, we are very mix and phenotype can be misleading. In Cuba we have blood from the natives Tainos, Africans, meanly from Nigeria, Congo and Mozambique; from Europe, mainly Spanish (not only from Canarias, but from the North of Spain), France and Ireland; From Asia, mainly China, and Japan. Later on in the 20 century from Russia, and easter European countries. So unless you have DNA test is really difficult for Cubans to say I am from this race. Yes, a lot of people say " I am black, I am white, I am half Chinese" but that is merely describing the phenotype. As many Cubans I thought I am mix of black and north Spaniards (although I am dark blonde) but DNA test let me know I am 70% Irish, 20 % Spaniard and 10% middle eastern, so there you go ! At the end we all came from Africa and we all humans.
I’m Cuban too born and raised so are my mother and father , all 4 grandparents and all 8 great grandparents. Funny you mentioned the main ones in our country of African, European and Asian, because growing up I always knew I had all three of these and when I took my DNA test, sure enough I had them all. African (from my dad) Erupean ,Asian and North African (from my mom). 56% African ( (37% West African Yoruba tribe from Nigeria, Akan from Siera Leone ) Kenyan and North African from Algeria & Morocco) 38% European (20% from Basque Country Spain, rest from Balkan and Northwest Europe), Asian 6% (China my maternal grandmother’s father was half Chinese born and raised in Cuba). I wasn’t at all surprised about my results as far as the three continents I’m connected to, but it was interesting to know specifically where from at least for the African side since I had no idea besides knowing it’d somewhere in the West and for sure in the North.
@Becoming Godsize I'm Cuban and I'm Black. African, Iberian Peninsula, European, Asian,and Western Taino Native(Cuban). Cuba is a mixture as you should know, we come in every skin tone and genetic make up. I've never heard of a 100% European Cuban.

@@escarlincanarioperez2915 Dude, I'm practically a historian, and I work with PHD's historians! Latino means to be of Latin decent (from the colonial Americas!) Latins are French, Portuguese, Italians, Romanian and Spanish!

Thus; the reason they have a Itialphone-Latino communities in Venazulea and Argentina. Before, you make a ignorant statement please do research before; you write!!! You've just been educated you're welcomed, and wepa my Boruica 🇵🇷 friend.
You see, that’s the thing I’ve been trying to explain... I tell people I’m 100% percent cuban but in racial terms there’s no such thing as being 100% Cuban. This video explained that perfectly, the Caribbean is a big pot of races, cultures and ethnicities. That’s why I’m proud to be from where I am 🇨🇺🇩🇴🇵🇷
There is nothing unique about the Caribbean in terms of variety of races . The Middle East is the same. Northern Africa around the Mediterranean is the same and so is Europe with its immense immigrant population and the differences among its Mongolian-influenced Eastern and Russian regions, its Arabian-influenced Southern regions, and its Northern regions with their diverse physically different types such as Nordics and Laplanders who have a strong Mongoloid heritage. Also, the rest of the Americas, such as Brazil, Central America, Venezuela, etc are similar in racial varieties and admixtures. Furthermore, USA is composed of a smorgasbord of races and those who proudly claim whiteness and blackness are significantly mixed but cunningly ignore it while focusing their racist attention on Latinos. SMH!
I had a roommate in university from Puerto Rico he was white until I went to Puerto Rico and I met the family. The grandmother was black and his mother was white and brothers and sisters black and mestizos I am confused now!!!!
Chris Ayala what? Latino is not a race. You can be a black Puerto Rican or a white Puerto Rican. Black and white are races, Puerto Rican is a nationality. Latino is an adjective used to describe people from Latin America.
@Chris Ayala How have you not stopped and thought why has everyone I've replied to in this comment section say I'm wrong? Seriously use any search engine and type the definition of latino or Hispanic.

@Chris Ayala this is true, Latinos come in all shapes and colors. I did a DNA test recently and the results were: Me:🦸♂️ Race: Tri-racial(61% European, 28%African, 11% indigenous Taino) Nationality: Dominican Ethnicity: Latino/Hispanic "I'm not black or white, afro-latino or Euro-latino. I'm just dominican" ;)
Chris Ayala all you guys did was prove my point. If Puerto Rican was a race then it would’ve shown up as a race on your dna test. Of course you won’t come out purely one race and no one will, so counting lying to yourself. On America there is no true American by race except the indigenous. So take that as you will, I’m out ✌️
Growing in Puerto Rico we never talk about race because our race is a huge melting pot. Race became a talking point after I move to US. Like my friend Ellen once told me: "there's people in this Country that will never let this issue (race) go away and that is going to bring this Country to hell"
I'm the same. It's true. Only race is HUMAN. Everything else is ETHNICITY and we have a LOT of those in us. Love it, though. Would rather be Boricua EVERY lifetime.
@@roseg2239 many US americans think black is better so don’t act like we the only ones who have any prejudice. Yall just hate white people so much and want everyone else to hate thhem.
@@roseg2239 "White" and "black" are not races. Insecurities based on hatred whether by self or someone else is another story. It does not make the U.S. concept of "race" valid. Most of it comes from Democrat Party talking points, the same party that supported enslavement of Africans and natives.
Plus there's a municipality called loiza which ia very black. Many parts of the islands have very interesting backrounds. The other day I was talking with my grandfather and learned that my mothers side is mestizo + French , and that my father s side was a whole mix of different things ( you had Basque, mestizo, taino). There's also many people of non-spaniard heritage where I live. Many of the people in my area have Italian and corsican ancestry, hell there's even some Jewish in there.
No .. you guys don’t claim to be black because a lot of y’all feel like it’s an insult. I’ve told Dominicans , they’re black & every response was as if they were disgusted.
I am Dominican and I just wanna thank you for talking the time to inform others (ignorant or not) about the Latino Caribbean people. Like I said, I’m Dominican and I identify as a Latina but I know that I’m also bi-racial. Other people need to realize that our ethnicity, nationality, and/or culture doesn’t define our race ✊🏼

I am Dominican but I identify myself only with the Caribbean, not with the Latino only because I speak Spanish, the Caribbean culture has three African and European Taíno cultures and if I say that I am Latino I only lean towards the European and I am rejecting the others
I was born in Havana Cuba and I am light skinned with European features. My DNA has me at 33% West African. My darker skinned cousins have less African dna than I do. 😂. Go figure. Caribbean is all beautiful and I love Puerto Rico too.
I am a fair-skin, red-headed Cuban with light eyes. My DNA is 60% from Spain, 17% from various countries in Africa, and 10% Native American with traces of Jewish DNA and South-Eastern Asia. DNA from Latin America and the Caribbean is very interesting
This was really great! Very impressive. You included many groups of migrants who often times get overlooked by other narrators. Another group,of people who also traveled to Puerto Rico (I’m Puertorican) where the Corsicans. Who played a role in the coffee plantations and politicos. Really enjoyed this. Thank you!
Hispanic and Latinos are not races. People in Latin America are white (Caucasians), black (African) and Native, those are races. The rest of the population are mestizos (mix races, mulatos). The biggest problem with white people is that they have to call us something, give us a name to put us all together. They think that all brown people are Mexicans (Mexico such a great country) but they know that this assumption is "politically incorrect." Therefore they created that stupid term Latino or Hispanic.
Personal insecurity because when they travel to Europe they realized that are the most hated country in the World and are considered or seen as ignorant because they do not know their own history.
@@williamstriker8051 isn't peurto Rican, really just a nationality not really an ethnicity? If Spain never gave up PR to America in 1896, we would be calling ourselves spainards still. It's kinda confusing, really and interesting to think about.
HOUSE The Misfit GRAVES : Is Not Confusing For Me! When It Comes To Nationality And Races! I'm Spaniard And German As Well Part Puerto Rican!. I'm A Clan To That As Part Puerto Rican!. You See!!. Is How You Fit Yourself Dear!.
My grandfather was Dominican and identified as Black. His mom was biracial (Black and White) and his dad was Afro-Panamanian who moved to DR. As a result half of his siblings were dark skinned with afro textured hair and half were light skinned with wavy hair but all of them identified as Black people when they moved to the U.S.
Because of the American one-drop rule, originally set up to keep the bastard children begotten on black slave-women by their owners from having any right of inheritance, they had no choice.
Excellent summary of the history of our races mixture in the Caribbean! Well documented and complete! Bravo! I am going to send the link to all my American friends to see if they finally understand our diversity and free their mind from their prejudices!
Chris Ayala he said he said he loves not he is and u can be garifuna from Honduras Mexico maybe El Salvador and maybe Panama and Belize and Costa Rica it’s not just Guatemala.
I appreciate your overview and that you recognize the diversity. Most Americans think that all Caribbeans are black and they fail to see the diversity.
That's because in the United States they have what's called the one drop rule, a person can be identified as black, if they they have at least 5% or more of African ancestry, that person can be identified as African.
I recently did my DNA test and found out that 73% of my DNA read western European. And my biological father was from Cuba.Your video was very informative now I’m just trying to understand this culture but I was raised in California. I have a lot to catching up to do.I just found two siblings on the East Coast with blue eyes light complected like my kids but they speak Spanish. I don’t, I wasn’t raised around that.
I'm Puerto Rican and I think you did a great job with this video. My great grandparents are from Canary Island and not a lot of people know that many of our ancestors came from there. Thanks for this video

Las Casas entered through Jamaica and Pinzon through Oriente and killed them all...Read the diaries of Las Casas...The only Tainos in Cuba now, are the ones fleeing from Venezuela and other South American countries...Maybe a mixed family of someone who married a Mexican or other, when the Perez Prado and Beny Moré era...Pinar del Rio has a large French mix population too...Raul Paz is frenchie...Look him up too...Cubans are a ratatouille of races, but, Tainos is not one of them...
@@ladyaly864 that’s completely false. There’s many Tainos in eastern Cuba, and you’ll find Taino dna in many Cubans from central and eastern Cuba, not as much in western Cuba
Great job!!! I learned a lot and now understand my heritage a little more. Thank you for researching and sharing this material with the world. Your work brings us closer together as a society.
Good unbiased historical break down Mason. As a Caribbean 🇹🇹🇧🇧 man with extensive historical knowledge of the Caribbean this was a pretty precise overview in 15mins. 👏🏾 You know more then most US born Caribbean Latinos about their history and genetic make-up.
Interesting history. Amazing how people who spoke different languages came together to form families and societies. My family came from Spain, entered the US through Florida, traveled west through Louisiana and finally to Santa Fe New Mexico. I'm the 6th generation but my grandparents came to Denver in 1941 where my mother and father met. My father is of Spaniard descent also.
I have everything I need !! Taino, Cuban, Spain, Africa, Chinese, Morocco, Arabian, Italian, Scandinavian.... but the must importan part, Im from the Caribbean!!!
My parents are from PR and DR. According to my 23andme ancestry DNA test, I am 66% European, 16% Native American, 12% African, 3% Middle Eastern, and 3% unidentified.
I am Dominican, the majority of “dark Dominicans” are of Haitian descent. We do not count Haitians as Dominicans even if they are born in the island because WE GO BY BLOOD 🩸 you MUST have at LEAST 1 Dominican parent to be considered Dominican. Haitians DNA makeup is very different than ours which is why even if they are born in DR they cannot be considered Dominicans. Now, there are A LOT of Haitians born in DR speaking Spanish who call themselves Dominicans because that’s all they know. However, REAL BLOODED DOMINICANS are VERY different than Haitians. Culture, languague, religions, music, food EVERYTHING. Also, they are MOSTLY monoracials while us Dominicans are MULTIRACIALS. Keep in mind that there are over 2 MILLIONS IF HAITIANS IN Dominican Republic‼️ a lot of people see a Dominican like me and don’t even think of a Dominican because they are used to seeing HAITIANS as Dominicans 😒 Haiti and DR are like Mexico and the United States! Same connected land but VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
@@MythProducingcitizenship works different in different countries. Due to our constitution is by blood, it's the same case with haitian btw, if two dominicans moved to haiti and had a kid there, their wouldn't be haitian, their constitution also gives citizenship based on blood, at least one of the parents has to be haitian. There are other ways to get it of course, if you were to get your aplication for residency approved, after living in DR, after living there for 2 years you can also apply for citizenship :) but in the case you had a kid there with another foreigner, you would also need to apply for the citizenship of your kid. I hope this explained how this works and greetings🇩🇴
@@Paocean17 I am a proud Palestinian Arab Muslim, and I had the great pleasure and honor to live in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico plus I visited Cuba. As a result I am trilingual and tricultural (Arabic, Spanish and English) and am madly in love with the people, culture and islands of the Hispanic Caribbean. However, as an anti-racist and anti-imperialist activist, I find it repulsive in this day and age to base legal nationality on blood. The modern democratic concept of citizenship is not based on blood but on settling in a country for an extended period of time, speaking the national language, adopting some portion of the local culture and getting involved with the local community, whether by means of total assimilation of or acculturation creating a hyphenated identity. The sad fact is the imperial powers until today have divided and conquered the island nations of the Caribbean, all of them by dividing them by racial mixture, language and culture. This is a great historic tragedy and major source of oppression, which if the native peoples of the Caribbean islands don't overcome, their societies will never progress to modern, powerful, sovereign nationhood. I send my love to all the wonderful brothers and sisters of Cuba, the DR and PR, and pray that very soon you will wake up and unite not only as Hispano-Caribbeans but with the other islands as a united Caribbean People. Amen.
@rashidal-banna6082 thank you for your opinion and comment, but we, the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, do not need to change our makeup. PR, DR, and Cuba are among the happiest and friendly people in the world. We love each other because, from the beginning, the Tainos from these islands were extremely close to each other and were relatives according to the historical context. Also, we have accomplished many to the point of blood to be who we are as a people. Therefore, we welcome the people of the world to join us, but it ends when people want to change or come against us. We, three, historical have fought for each other till this day.
DOMINICANAS ARE MIXED PEOPLE MOST OF THEM PART WHITE PART BLACK AND LITTER OF TAINO NATIVE AMERICANS CUBA IS THE SAME AND PUERTO RICO TOOO WE RE PROUD TO BE LATINOSSSSS LATINOS ARIIBAAAAAAA
Bebesita Frances lmfao just by reading ur name I can tell ur Haitian..why tf are u Haitians so obsessed with being Dominican, I’ve known many Haitians that lie about their nationality..ur not Dominican so don’t even try 🤣..ur not Latino nor Hispanic...
I, as Puerto Rican, have to give kudos to you. Very accurate. I've Vasque (Spanish), African, Moroccan, French and Taino (Native American) heritage. Que viva el Caribe!
Really cool and well informed description. Major love to all Caribbeans ! This video and your comments help us yanquis understand and relate ! Viva el pueblo, que viva Puerto Rico, y que Vivan los derechos de nosotros Americanos.
Jovany Rosa Leon a slur? When has a word like mulata became so offensive? It's the fastest easiest way to describe a mixed person. I guess that's in P.R, not in D.R its a very common word. Like "bola" for u guys is the part of the male's genitals, for us in D.R bola is considered hitching a ride.
Nice report. Just a couple of additional points: Taino is actually pronounced Ta-ee-nō In addition to Spanish, Canarian, Taino and African, the European side of the Puerto Rican race is made up of Scottish, Irish, French, a splash of Dutch and German and Corsican. The latter being the 2nd largest European / white race in the mix.
@Chris Ayala by your lack of intelligence I can assume you don't have the job, money, wife, family, house of your dreams. You never made it bruh and this is why you are angry and dissatisfied with your own accomplishments and failures. This is why you try to make yourself happy by trying to make others sad so you can feel betters about your own sadness. Sucks to be you!!!!
For those IGNORANTS in the comments! DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 🇩🇴 and DOMINICA 🇩🇲 are two DIFFERENT COUNTRIES! He is talking about the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 not Dominica 🇩🇲. Also, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC IS VERY DIVERSE! The people saying we are black are thinking of Haitians! We are TWO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND DO NOT HAVE THE SAME DNA MAKEUP! Also, Mulatto and Mestizo is NOT THE SAME A BLACK! Goodness!
@@youtubeanalyst6223 Jummm we have huge problems with that ...they making a pasive invasion ...I hope our government do the right thing when it comes to that to preserve our culture
For those people saying that Cubans has no Tahino blood and saying that white Cubans are pure white: Just an example. My mom looks white and she took an acestry dna test and these are the results: 87% white 9% Native American (Tahino) 4% black Most of us are mixed and has Tahino blood as well
@@leahakel6383 Native Americans didn't come from Asia, that's a Bullshit Eurocentric Lie. Native Americans are diverse amongst each other and have absolutely nothing to do with Asians.
W. Pedro Segura-Moore I'm half Cuban but was adopted by two African American couple. Didn't learn anything about my culture until last year when I found my Father
I am Puerto Rican and my dna came back 66% Spanish, 16% Native american (taíno) and the remaining dna is spread throughout west, east and north Africa. I found out i had a second great grand parent that was 100% Nigerian. I am proud to be Boricua!

Punta is a Garifuna Music genre as well as cultural dance. It is as poetic folk art genre through which social commentary is frequently expressed. The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

In all latin america basically
Didn't you hear the video we're all mixed, it was "surprising to hear that Puerto Rico n Cuba have a majority European admixture". If you've ever been to Puerto Rico you would see it....the majority of Puerto Ricans are Spaniards, Spaniards are not as light skinned as Germanics....
What about people like polynesians and melansian
Angel Mora-there are ONLY THREE "human races" on planet earth.
This is scientific and genetic FACTS
1.) Black
2.) White
3.) "Yellow"
When these 3 "races" mixes they produce human beings of different shades and "colors"
They ALL stems for THREE races period.
I’m Cuban, and what annoys me a lot is that in the US I can’t say I’m Caribbean. I don’t like the term Latina or Latinx because I grew up in a place where no one uses such terms, and culturally we are all so different. Caribbean is the best I can get. But in the US people don’t seem to know that Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean, and they tell me that if I’m not black I can’t be Caribbean. It’s so frustrating! Anyway....Thank you for your video! I’m a new subscriber.
Hey! The Hell with what anyone else says or thinks!!! You identify as Caribbean so be it!! If they don't get it that's on them. Now if someone is genuinely interested in what you mean by being Caribbean educate them yet if they want to try and tell you who and what you are tell em' to kick rocks!!! God bless from your Puerto Rican Caribbean brother!!!
Use Caribbean if THAT is what YOU PREFER, Please, Please , Please do not let anyone change or call you what you do not like. Their are so many who do not like the term LatinX. If someone correct me or I ask them what they prefer I respect that person. Kindly correct them and move on from there.🙂🌄🌍

I am Dominican, I consider myself mix...in the USA. However, we really don't care about that. We don't use those terms in the island.
La Dama del Caribe That is not what I've heard, even from Dominicans. In fact, I personally know a few, and they consider themselves to be African/Black first. Also, they actually stated that most Dominican people have a level of self-hatred, and want to associate with almost anything else besides African/Black. Slave history is not discussed, skin complexion is a topic: lightskinned/white is preferable over dark skin. However, the food is African in origin, the dance and music, Origin of Africa, almost every aspect of the Island was originatrd from Africa. It's funny how Hispaniola consists of Haiti and DR; however, the major distinction conspicuous. Haitian people know and except their history; Dominicans, for the most point do not. A person who denies their origin IS-a sad, lost person.

Greetings from PR. I can attest to the diversity of the Caribbean. I interact, have family and friends of every shade of the human rainbow.
My family as well, I think this is the reason racism seems so alien to my mind. I have twin Uncles on my mother's side and no one believed they were brothers, let alone twins. Louie is darker, with black hair and brown eyes while his twin Joel is pale with crystal blue eyes and fair hair. We are just people, race is a silly distraction.

@@Renzee-ct4wz I agree that unfortunately in many peoples minds there is a physiological war going on. I am sorry for anyone caught up in it. We are all humans. It is a false narrative about Jewish slave masters, and Jews controlling the slave trade.
"Other studies, by Harold Brackman and Saul Friedman, reached similar conclusions. In a 1994 article in the New York Review of Books, David Brion Davis, an emeritus professor of history at Yale University and author of an award-winning trilogy of books about slavery, noted that Jews were one of countless religious and ethnic groups around the world to participate in the slave trade:
The participants in the Atlantic slave system included Arabs, Berbers, scores of African ethnic groups, Italians, Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, Jews, Germans, Swedes, French, English, Danes, white Americans, Native Americans, and even thousands of New World blacks who had been emancipated or were descended from freed slaves but who then became slaveholding farmers or planters themselves.
Davis went on to note that in the American South in 1830 there were “120 Jews among the 45,000 slaveholders owning twenty or more slaves and only twenty Jews among the 12,000 slaveholders owning fifty or more slaves.”

It depends because south and central America have cities that are considered Caribbean for example Cartagena in Colombia very similar to Dominican Republic 🇩🇴

Not all Mexicans are the same like my friends don't play soccer they play basketball that's how we met.
My great grandfather was fully Taino. They aren’t extinct. They are just in the rural mountain areas in Puerto Rico

Mi gente! I'm Greek-Dominicano, born and raised in Greece to a Greek father and a Dominican mother. Never questioned my lineage from my father's side, as his family was Greek and didn't have any records of having a mixed marriage, at least for a few generations. My mom, on the other hand, became an orphan quite early in her life and didn't knew much about her ancestry, with poor documentation making things even harder. I know that we have some african and native blood on our Dominican family, but I can't be sure when and who was the last "pure gene donor" (If that is even a term for it). All I know is that i was raised in Europe being perceived as a white male for the most part, even though I have a darker complex that you would expect even for a Greek person, especially during summer time. But I never felt I was white, and surely neither black. My father's half, which I'm very proud of, is Greek and is one of the oldest European ethnicities, while my Mothers half comes from another, different type of gene pool, with African ancestors brought by force, native people who where trying to clinch to life by interracial breeding and European/Asian settlers and immigrants. So the latter parts make me feel as a person of the world, having the superpower to call all earth home and all humans brothers. Mi Gente TQM!
That’s interesting there might be something about Greece and dr as my name is greek and it is an inherited family name

In the Dominican Republic (where im from) people dont divide themselves into black and white like here in the US when referring to race, we would just identify as Latino. other then romantic physical preferences, the color of your skin has minimal to no social-political impact over there.
I remember being somewhat confused when i came here to the US and someone asked me if i was Black for the first time, my brain was not wired to see the color of my skin as my race. of course now that i opened my eyes to the paradigm we live in here in the US i identify as Black first, everything else is secondary.
I’m Dominican and according to AncestryDNA I am:
59% African
31% European
6% Native American
4% Others (Middle Eastern, Philippines)
A wonderful mix! I have a Dominican friend who had a similar result to yours.
That's why you're beautifully wonderfully made. LOVE from the Philippines❤
how the hell did you get filipino in u
Nice! I am Dominican, too, and my DNA is composed
48% European (39% Italian 7 Ireland 2% Portugal)
32% African (Bantu, yoruba)
7% Taino
3% Amerindian (Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela)
It is pronounced “Taíno”, or “Ta-ee-no” rather than “Tay-no”. Great video! Much of their language integrated into the Spanish of the Caribbean, and persists today.
You can tell he's missing something when he says "Tano". Lol I'm like where did he learn that from
All the tainos died off , the original ones then you had few mixed race tainos survive
Spanish conquistadors chose the best looking big booty sexy tainas and had babies
Where did that word Ta ee no come from? Did it come from the Indians themselves or is that what the Spaniards called them?
When I was a kid I didn't know that the word cucubano which we were using was a Taino word for the Spanish luciernaga.
This is the best analysis of genetics and racial identification I’ve ran across for the Spanish Caribbean
One can`t no say "you are from this or that race" in Cuba, we are very mix and phenotype can be misleading. In Cuba we have blood from the natives Tainos, Africans, meanly from Nigeria, Congo and Mozambique; from Europe, mainly Spanish (not only from Canarias, but from the North of Spain), France and Ireland; From Asia, mainly China, and Japan. Later on in the 20 century from Russia, and easter European countries. So unless you have DNA test is really difficult for Cubans to say I am from this race. Yes, a lot of people say " I am black, I am white, I am half Chinese" but that is merely describing the phenotype. As many Cubans I thought I am mix of black and north Spaniards (although I am dark blonde) but DNA test let me know I am 70% Irish, 20 % Spaniard and 10% middle eastern, so there you go ! At the end we all came from Africa and we all humans.
I’m Cuban too born and raised so are my mother and father , all 4 grandparents and all 8 great grandparents. Funny you mentioned the main ones in our country of African, European and Asian, because growing up I always knew I had all three of these and when I took my DNA test, sure enough I had them all. African (from my dad) Erupean ,Asian and North African (from my mom).
56% African ( (37% West African Yoruba tribe from Nigeria, Akan from Siera Leone ) Kenyan and North African from Algeria & Morocco) 38% European (20% from Basque Country Spain, rest from Balkan and Northwest Europe), Asian 6% (China my maternal grandmother’s father was half Chinese born and raised in Cuba). I wasn’t at all surprised about my results as far as the three continents I’m connected to, but it was interesting to know specifically where from at least for the African side since I had no idea besides knowing it’d somewhere in the West and for sure in the North.
Ailec Dreifuss spot on ... theres no black and white in cuba everybody is mixed

You see, that’s the thing I’ve been trying to explain... I tell people I’m 100% percent cuban but in racial terms there’s no such thing as being 100% Cuban. This video explained that perfectly, the Caribbean is a big pot of races, cultures and ethnicities. That’s why I’m proud to be from where I am 🇨🇺🇩🇴🇵🇷
There is nothing unique about the Caribbean in terms of variety of races . The Middle East is the same. Northern Africa around the Mediterranean is the same and so is Europe with its immense immigrant population and the differences among its Mongolian-influenced Eastern and Russian regions, its Arabian-influenced Southern regions, and its Northern regions with their diverse physically different types such as Nordics and Laplanders who have a strong Mongoloid heritage.
Also, the rest of the Americas, such as Brazil, Central America, Venezuela, etc are similar in racial varieties and admixtures. Furthermore, USA is composed of a smorgasbord of races and those who proudly claim whiteness and blackness are significantly mixed but cunningly ignore it while focusing their racist attention on Latinos. SMH!
@@radrook2153 middle east is not as diverse compared to the Americas, Russia is not really diverse it barely has Mongolian influence
It's not said along RACIAL lines; but ETHNICAL/CULTURAL.
I had a roommate in university from Puerto Rico he was white until I went to Puerto Rico and I met the family. The grandmother was black and his mother was white and brothers and sisters black and mestizos
I am confused now!!!!
Chris Ayala what? Latino is not a race. You can be a black Puerto Rican or a white Puerto Rican. Black and white are races, Puerto Rican is a nationality. Latino is an adjective used to describe people from Latin America.
Genetics. That’s what happens when families are mixed, and people in Puerto Rico have been mixing for centuries.
Chris Ayala have you done research? If you had, you’d know that Latino/Hispanic isn’t a race 💀

The dance represents sexual dialogue between male and female who attempt to outdo each other with unique stylized movements. It is characterized by the shaking of the hips and features an almost motionless upper torso in contrast to the constant movement of the hips, legs, and feet, creating the characteristic shaking of the buttocks found in many African-derived dances.

Hispanic come in all races, with many cultural twist, the Spanish went everywhere.
Chris Ayala nationality=nation which means country. They were right
Chris Ayala ok so with your logic, what is nationality. Just because it is correlated doesn’t mean it’s equal to it
@Chris Ayala this is true, Latinos come in all shapes and colors. I did a DNA test recently and the results were:
Me:🦸♂️
Race: Tri-racial(61% European, 28%African, 11% indigenous Taino)
Nationality: Dominican
Ethnicity: Latino/Hispanic
"I'm not black or white, afro-latino or Euro-latino. I'm just dominican" ;)
Chris Ayala all you guys did was prove my point. If Puerto Rican was a race then it would’ve shown up as a race on your dna test. Of course you won’t come out purely one race and no one will, so counting lying to yourself. On America there is no true American by race except the indigenous. So take that as you will, I’m out ✌️
Chris Ayala wym unlike yours? Bruh I’m Cuban.
Growing in Puerto Rico we never talk about race because our race is a huge melting pot. Race became a talking point after I move to US. Like my friend Ellen once told me: "there's people in this Country that will never let this issue (race) go away and that is going to bring this Country to hell"
I'm the same.
It's true. Only race is HUMAN. Everything else is ETHNICITY and we have a LOT of those in us. Love it, though. Would rather be Boricua EVERY lifetime.

Hispanic and Latinos are not races. People in Latin America are white (Caucasians), black (African) and Native, those are races. The rest of the population are mestizos (mix races, mulatos). The biggest problem with white people is that they have to call us something, give us a name to put us all together. They think that all brown people are Mexicans (Mexico such a great country) but they know that this assumption is "politically incorrect." Therefore they created that stupid term Latino or Hispanic.
Personal insecurity because when they travel to Europe they realized that are the most hated country in the World and are considered or seen as ignorant because they do not know their own history.

73% European
15% African
12% Taína
Should I say that 2% of the 15% African is northern African?
So Do You Call Yourself A White Dominican Due To Your DNA Being Overwhelmingly European?
@@americanwarrior9591 No. I’m just Dominican.
@@libertasca1636 Okay Cool. But still just because your your DNA I still consider you a White Dominican Person.
@@americanwarrior9591 You’re right
@@americanwarrior9591 white refers to anglosaxons, Germanic, Nordic and Slavic folks. No doubt she’s a caucasoid but white, no way.
I appreciate your overview and that you recognize the diversity. Most Americans think that all Caribbeans are black and they fail to see the diversity.
That's because in the United States they have what's called the one drop rule, a person can be identified as black, if they they have at least 5% or more of African ancestry, that person can be identified as African.
caribbeans tend to have the best looking light skin or blacks i have ever seen
How much black dna makes a person black.
@@robertodelrio0797so if yoy have one drop of white blood, would that makes white.
@@JOSECARABALLO-e1n no it wouldn't make me white however it would give me some privileges and and move up in society.
I recently did my DNA test and found out that 73% of my DNA read western European. And my biological father was from Cuba.Your video was very informative now I’m just trying to understand this culture but I was raised in California. I have a lot to catching up to do.I just found two siblings on the East Coast with blue eyes light complected like my kids but they speak Spanish. I don’t, I wasn’t raised around that.
Major Media freak I’m 73% European and I’m Dominican
Libertas Ca -I see you live in California as well. It’s funny how our genetics make us cousins. LOL I hope you have a great day!
Major Media freak I don’t live in California cousin 😂
Have a good evening 😘

There is still Taenios in a small town in Cuba near Santiago
Las Casas entered through Jamaica and Pinzon through Oriente and killed them all...Read the diaries of Las Casas...The only Tainos in Cuba now, are the ones fleeing from Venezuela and other South American countries...Maybe a mixed family of someone who married a Mexican or other, when the Perez Prado and Beny Moré era...Pinar del Rio has a large French mix population too...Raul Paz is frenchie...Look him up too...Cubans are a ratatouille of races, but, Tainos is not one of them...
@@ladyaly864 that’s completely false. There’s many Tainos in eastern Cuba, and you’ll find Taino dna in many Cubans from central and eastern Cuba, not as much in western Cuba
Great job!!! I learned a lot and now understand my heritage a little more. Thank you for researching and sharing this material with the world. Your work brings us closer together as a society.
I love it when Americans try to put us in a race box.They cant and it frustrates them lol.
A lot of your community is very confused. Most of you don't have an identity and have no clue what you are.
Deanna Harvey u dont know what ur talking about
true they have to called anyone of mixed blood black cause the can not leave shit alone
We are mix thats it
Kelly Shepard i know its mostly black Americans those people are obsessed with us
Good unbiased historical break down Mason. As a Caribbean 🇹🇹🇧🇧 man with extensive historical knowledge of the Caribbean this was a pretty precise overview in 15mins. 👏🏾 You know more then most US born Caribbean Latinos about their history and genetic make-up.
Interesting history. Amazing how people who spoke different languages came together to form families and societies. My family came from Spain, entered the US through Florida, traveled west through Louisiana and finally to Santa Fe New Mexico. I'm the 6th generation but my grandparents came to Denver in 1941 where my mother and father met. My father is of Spaniard descent also.
I have everything I need !! Taino, Cuban, Spain, Africa, Chinese, Morocco, Arabian, Italian, Scandinavian.... but the must importan part, Im from the Caribbean!!!
My parents are from PR and DR. According to my 23andme ancestry DNA test, I am 66% European, 16% Native American, 12% African, 3% Middle Eastern, and 3% unidentified.
I recently took a DNA test here are my results
White:73%
Black:12%
Native American: 6%
West Asian(Middle eastern) : 9%
I am Dominican too!! 🇩🇴❤❤
I took one of those too. I'm Puerto Rican and my results were....

I am Dominican, the majority of “dark Dominicans” are of Haitian descent. We do not count Haitians as Dominicans even if they are born in the island because WE GO BY BLOOD 🩸 you MUST have at LEAST 1 Dominican parent to be considered Dominican. Haitians DNA makeup is very different than ours which is why even if they are born in DR they cannot be considered Dominicans. Now, there are A LOT of Haitians born in DR speaking Spanish who call themselves Dominicans because that’s all they know. However, REAL BLOODED DOMINICANS are VERY different than Haitians. Culture, languague, religions, music, food EVERYTHING. Also, they are MOSTLY monoracials while us Dominicans are MULTIRACIALS. Keep in mind that there are over 2 MILLIONS IF HAITIANS IN Dominican Republic‼️ a lot of people see a Dominican like me and don’t even think of a Dominican because they are used to seeing HAITIANS as Dominicans 😒 Haiti and DR are like Mexico and the United States! Same connected land but VERY DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
Smh seems like an invasion is taking place. Hopefully real Dominicans don’t get replaced cause you guys are beautiful😍
If they’re born and raised in dr they’re Dominicans wytb? That’s there nationality
@@MythProducingcitizenship works different in different countries. Due to our constitution is by blood, it's the same case with haitian btw, if two dominicans moved to haiti and had a kid there, their wouldn't be haitian, their constitution also gives citizenship based on blood, at least one of the parents has to be haitian. There are other ways to get it of course, if you were to get your aplication for residency approved, after living in DR, after living there for 2 years you can also apply for citizenship :) but in the case you had a kid there with another foreigner, you would also need to apply for the citizenship of your kid. I hope this explained how this works and greetings🇩🇴
@@Paocean17 I am a proud Palestinian Arab Muslim, and I had the great pleasure and honor to live in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico plus I visited Cuba. As a result I am trilingual and tricultural (Arabic, Spanish and English) and am madly in love with the people, culture and islands of the Hispanic Caribbean. However, as an anti-racist and anti-imperialist activist, I find it repulsive in this day and age to base legal nationality on blood. The modern democratic concept of citizenship is not based on blood but on settling in a country for an extended period of time, speaking the national language, adopting some portion of the local culture and getting involved with the local community, whether by means of total assimilation of or acculturation creating a hyphenated identity. The sad fact is the imperial powers until today have divided and conquered the island nations of the Caribbean, all of them by dividing them by racial mixture, language and culture. This is a great historic tragedy and major source of oppression, which if the native peoples of the Caribbean islands don't overcome, their societies will never progress to modern, powerful, sovereign nationhood. I send my love to all the wonderful brothers and sisters of Cuba, the DR and PR, and pray that very soon you will wake up and unite not only as Hispano-Caribbeans but with the other islands as a united Caribbean People. Amen.
@rashidal-banna6082 thank you for your opinion and comment, but we, the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, do not need to change our makeup. PR, DR, and Cuba are among the happiest and friendly people in the world. We love each other because, from the beginning, the Tainos from these islands were extremely close to each other and were relatives according to the historical context. Also, we have accomplished many to the point of blood to be who we are as a people. Therefore, we welcome the people of the world to join us, but it ends when people want to change or come against us. We, three, historical have fought for each other till this day.
Thanks from the DR, great video.
DOMINICANAS ARE MIXED PEOPLE MOST OF THEM PART WHITE PART BLACK AND LITTER OF TAINO NATIVE AMERICANS

I'm Dominican and I've always considered myself mulata even though I look entirely white, I have that Afro blood in me.
PattyCakes. The European in you gives you that fair complexion. You're very beautiful
Your pretty either way
Jovany Rosa Leon a slur? When has a word like mulata became so offensive? It's the fastest easiest way to describe a mixed person. I guess that's in P.R, not in D.R its a very common word. Like "bola" for u guys is the part of the male's genitals, for us in D.R bola is considered hitching a ride.
I am mulata Boricua and proud
Uchiha Sasuke lol no black blood gave it
Nice report. Just a couple of additional points: Taino is actually pronounced Ta-ee-nō In addition to Spanish, Canarian, Taino and African, the European side of the Puerto Rican race is made up of Scottish, Irish, French, a splash of Dutch and German and Corsican. The latter being the 2nd largest European / white race in the mix.
These videos are very well presented and informative.
What a good video! Bravo! These make up some of the best people I’ve ever known. Love from Florida!

For those people saying that Cubans has no Tahino blood and saying that white Cubans are pure white: Just an example. My mom looks white and she took an acestry dna test and these are the results:
87% white
9% Native American (Tahino)
4% black
Most of us are mixed and has Tahino blood as well
Not all are tainos those each other are different names with different ways..
