Afro-Latinos share their favorite dish 

I miss Gadiel, his personality is so big so bright and comes across so welcoming.

"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.

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.

I love seeing content like this! 🇨🇴🧡

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.

Love to my Afro-Latinos 🇩🇴🇭🇳🇨🇺🇵🇦🇭🇹🇧🇿🇨🇷

As an Afro-Latina, I needed this so badly. Thank you! 🖤😭🖤

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💯

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.

Finally a beautiful Afro-Nicaraguan girl..... yes we have black people in the motherland #proudnicoya!!!

They need to find more Afro Cubans and Ricans for these segments.. Panamanians and Costa Ricans..

One time for the Black Nicaraguans! ❤️❤️❤️

“They brought me out of retirement” AND IM SO GLADDDD cuz gadiel..baby daddy husband 😫te extraño mi amor

OYeeee Gadielll que lo Que!! It’s so good to see you back!! PeroLike is not the same without you! Good seeing you!

I loved this 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

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!

My people are from Guyana, Guyana, and Curacao. I am also part of the lgbtq community too! Thank you all for the representation!

Gadiel! Love seeing dark skin afrolatinas representing! #chocolate

We Dominicans are proud of our African roots but in all we are also proud of our European and Taino roots which also enrich our culture as well.

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

FINALLY, LATINOS ADMITTING THEIR BLACKNESS!🙄💜💫

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

Thank you guys for sharing this. It’s so hard explaining my culture as a non Spanish-speaking Afro Latina. People are even more confused with Panama.

Really appreciated the much needed discussion on this topic finally ! Now for some great food 😋 ✌🏾

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!!!

As a Belizean, I grew up eating fryjacks for breakfast. My grandma would put honey on them

GADIEL!!! I feel like he would come back from the grave for the food. XD

This make me feel proud of being Latino and understanding what they are saying.

this is such an important conversation that we all need to have in the latinx community! too bad I can only upvote this video once

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.

Wow!!! I enjoyed this deep conversation 👍🏾

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? 🇵🇷🇵🇷

We need some afro Brazilians in these videos pls😌

This was such a nourishing, empowering Afro-Latino meal.❤

Love the Afro Latinx crew!

Brazil is in latin-america, Brazil got the biggest black community... So where is Brazil?🤔

Love Gadiel! Thank you for making a pit stop and hopefully we can see you more IF you really did come back from retirement ❤

It's a serious dicusion, but despite of that, I was looking at those empanadas the whole time. Hehehe! 😋✌️!

I loved this!! Thanks

I love this channel !!!!! ❤ 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

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.

Missing Brazilians broooooo ! How many times I gotta knock on the door cara ?!,???

If I was in this I would love to introduce my AfroMexican dish

Gadiel suavemente besame lol 😆 I so serious 🤣

As an afro Latina my favorite snack to eat consists of steak empanadas with Mexican rice 😋🌮🍛🙌🏻

I miss you, Gabrielle! I miss Pero Like.

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.

Gadiel! Long time no see!

Ayyye vigorón 🇳🇮🇳🇮

Gadielllll😭❤️

I love this.

I see Gadiel finally growing some beard 😏

My favorite dish my mom would cook is oxtail !

This was great... Thank you!

Love this :) I wish Gadiel can be my bestie love his vibes :)

i love gadiel he so funny 😭

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.

I'm Asian and I love you guys.

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.

United we stand divided we fall together we can end racism and inequalities

Gadi!!!!✊🏽🙌🏽

Oh yea..rabo!! The best thing on earth

'Onestamente !

We miss you in Texas Gadiel on RU-vid, your humor and food adventures with your family and friends my brother!😎👍

😍Gadiel!!!!!

Is Belize a Latino country? I thought it was English speaking

We in the broothl of the caribean rd like cwca and our brothers the haitians.

There is a Afro Latino restaurant in bell gardens.

I'm Mexican and I want to try food from other latin countries

6:43 exactly!

5:00 ✊🏽😤

Hiii I’m now hungry 😩😂

Why is it that this channel can never find Afro Cuban‘s

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

Galdeli got three sisters.

GADIEL!!!!

What is the place that Gadiel says he got the food from. I couldn’t quite get it.

Gadieeeel XD

Gadielllll 😭😭😭😭

I thought Gadiel left

In Venezuela we don't make those race remarks, we know that our heritage is made up of multiple origins.. according to historians if you ask us for a race, we are MESTIZOS
