😂😂😂

Hombre tu nacionalidad nadie te lo quita pero tu origen genético osea Mestizo ,es bueno saber que es Nacionalidad y que es origen de una persona .

Now I can't unsee it

Bruh 💀

😆🤣😄😂

Latino no es raza,sino persona que habla una lengua latina ☝ es incultura decir latino como si fuera una etnia una raza no . No entendiste que es ser Mestizo verdad .Peor no entenderás que es America Hispana peor comprenderás la America Lucitana y Francofona

Exacto ,los Mestizos también somos los odiados y marginados por nuestro origen y no se puede decir que eres Mestizo porque te odia socialmente

Si

Ur still my brother ✊🏼✊🏽

Welcome to the club. Embrace it. It's good to know where you come from.

It's cool how we have blood form native Americans

By the EZ in ur last name u are... every last name that ends in EZ are Spaniards last names... just like Lopez, Perez, Sánchez, Rodríguez, Gutiérrez, Pérez, Gómez, Álvarez, Cortez, González, Fernández, Martínez, Jiménez, Hernández. Domínguez, Vásquez, Suárez, etc

Recently? You must not have read about La Conquista...🤔🤔🤔

@@bryaanrazo eh not really, since criollos, mulattos, trigueños/ triracials, and indígenas have those surnames too...

Entonces no eres Mestizo eres Mulato o Trigeño . Porque tienes 3 raíces entonces eres TRiGEÑO ,un Mestizo solo tiene dos raíces Nativo Americano +Español Ibero=Mestizo . Para que tú seas Mestizo tendrías que solo tener sangre Nativa Filipina +Española ibera =Mestizo ,pero tienes también raíz China entonces eres TRIGEÑO 3 ramas .

@@Merry19ss I'm sorry Mary, I don't speak Spanish, but I can somehow understand what you're trying to say. To summarize, the Castillian colonizers created a different racial caste system in the Philippines compared to Latin America. These are the following racial categories that are established by the Spanish Colonial Government in the Philippine Islands: Castellano/Peninsulares: Spaniards who were born in Spain. Criollos: Spaniards who were born in the Americas. Insulares: Spaniards who were born locally in the Philippines. Indio: A local Filipino that is of pure or predominant Austronesian lineage. Negrito: A local Filipino that is of pure or predominant Melanesian/Papuan lineage. Sangley: A local Filipino that is of pure or predominant Chinese lineage. Mestizo de Español: A Filipino with mixed Austronesian and Spanish lineage. Mestizo de Sangley: A Filipino with mixed Austronesian and Chinese lineage. Mestizo de Tornatras: A Filipino with mixed Austronesian, Chinese and Spanish lineages. I'm Mestizo de Tornatras, since I have Austronesian, Chinese and Spanish in me. Everyone in the islands whose of mixed heritage is considered a Mestizo. I hope this is helpful. Muchos Gracias.

The Spanish colonized the Philippines

@@GaryHField I’m Chicano (Mexican American). I’m 55% Spaniard. My last name is my real last name and is of Galician origin. I’ve traced lineages as far back to Navarre and Andalucia.

@@thearyamehrrf6886 really? Wow. Our Spanish ancestors are from Aragon. But most Mestizos in the Philippines traces their Spanish lineage to Basque region. The Spanish conqueror of the Philippines, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, was a Basque. There are fewer Mestizos in the Philippines than in Latin America. Only about 10% of our population have Spanish lineage as compared to Latin Americans, most of you guys have Spanish ancestry.

Nah you don't have any heritage from any of those

You are still native. You are not a new race. Don’t distance yourself from us.

Same here, and I’m neither a white nationalist, a hispanista, or indigenist, I’m a proud mestizo first😎

@@DameOfDiamonds you have no heritage atleast the Europeans from Europe still hold on to their tradition, can't say too much for you so called "Americans" true Americans are Indigenous people.

​@@sebastianalvarenga8724Mestizos means you're white

You’re a mestiz@ overall. Harnizo and castizo are mainly used by people in the United States, not by Latin Americans who live in Latin America..l

@@anonymousboi949 En EEUU no tiene nada que ver con estos términos Castizo,Mestizo,Criollo,Mulato ,Teigeño,Zambo ,hecha para tras etc son términos del mundo Hispano no del mundo Ingles-USA . Castizos ,Criollos ,Mestizos... etc los usamos normalmente en America Hispana/Latina porque si aquí se Dan normalmente . Lo más raro es escucharlo en EEUU ya que hay les dicen Mixtos ,biraciales esos son sus términos. ☝In the US it has nothing to do with these terms Castizo, Mestizo, Creole, Mulatto, Teigeño, Zambo, made for after etc. They are terms of the Hispanic world not of the English-USA world.🙄 Castizos, Creoles, Mestizos... etc. we normally use them in Hispanic/Latin America because they are normally given here. The strangest thing is to hear it in the US since they are called Mixed, biracial, those are their terms.🤌

@@Merry19ss no, muchos latinos (principalmente mestizos y indios) en EEUU que quieren ser blancos usan los términos “harnizo” y “castizo”, mientras que la mayoría de los latinoamericanos no lo hacen. Por supuesto,esos términos provienen del mundo hispano,pero hoy en día,la mayoría de Las personas en el mundo hispano no lo usan,además de los mestizos (principalmente indomestizos)y indios que quieren ser blancos.

​​​​​​@@Merry19ssserá en tú país nada más, porque en México nadie usa harnizo ni castizo, porque es una reverenda tontería que ya no tiene ningún sustento, éso lo enseñan en la escuela primaria a los niños y saliendo ya nadie lo recuerda y a nadie le importa, lo único que medianamente se usa es el término mestizo, que ya a estas alturas simplemente significa que tienes antepasados indígenas y españoles no importa en qué grado ni orden, pero como la mayoría ni sabe quiénes son sus antepasados, ni de dónde vienen y tampoco nos importa, mestizo también es cualquier descendiente de español con indígena con africano con filipino con chino con japonés con árabe, etc. Si a caso una que otra persona que milagrosamente puso atención a su clase de Historia de México (porque nuestra educación pública está por los suelos y ésa materia en específico es de las más aburridas) podrá recitar la lista de los nombres de las castas, pero aplicar éso a la vida real, olvídalo. En México no vamos por la vida diciéndonos unos a otros tu eres harnizo, tu eres castizo, tu eres mulato, tu eres salta pa tras y no se que tantas ridiculeces más, éso ya no existe ni importa. Ojo, no digo que no exista racismo en México, simplemente que aquí te tratan como te ven, que tu papá es mestizo y tú mamá blanca, que una abuela indígena pero un abuelo japonés y por ahí te aparece un tatarabuelo aleman, da igual, acá sólo existen los ricos explotadores que son blancos, los indígenas que hablan lenguas originarias, y que sí son los más discriminados y luego estamos todos los demás que no somos ni uno ni otro y que simplemente sobrevivimos como podemos y nos va mejor o peor según si somos moreno claro, moreno oscuro, si vivimos en zona urbana o semi urbana o campo, si pudimos estudiar o no, si tenemos palancas para conseguir un buen trabajo o no, si vives en el norte, en el centro o sur del país y punto, no hay más, pero no usamos ésos términos novohispanos como tú afirmas. Así que no metas a todos en el mismo saco, sí somos latinoamericanos y tenemos cosas en común pero también tenemos muchas diferencias y no puedes andar por ahí hablando por toooooda latinoamérica como si conocieras a profundidad la psicología y la cultura de cada país que la conforman, habla por tú país nada más o si naciste en Estados Unidos, mejor ni opines de latinoamérica.

Yes, Besides majority European countries such as: Argentina Uruguay and Chile, Majority pardo and Afro Latin countries such as: Brazil Venezuela Dominican Republic and majority indigenous American countries such as: Bolivia Peru Guatemala

Sea o no Mestizo lo tienes y no por ello lo desprecies .

Las personas que aceptan Mestizo, Latino, Latinx, Raza, Hispanic, etc. Todo este tipo de mentalidad viene de los pulgas europeos. Cuando llegaron nos llamaban "Indios" nos quitaron y destruyeron todo lo que era nosotros. No somos de la India, somos de Anahuac, miles de anos de civilizaciones. Hasta todavia muchas personas, maestros y personas de academia, que no son de Anahuac, nos llaman, Nativo Americanos, Indios, Indios Americanos, etc. Yo y mi familia somos de Anahuac, lengua Nahuatl, sangre Nican Tlaca.

@@manuelramirez-qd2mz “nican tlaca” 😂🤣 As a guatemalan, stop trying to speak for us all. Speak for chicanos and no one else

@@hiphipjorge5755 cool

@@hiphipjorge5755 u do know at one point guatemala was mexican territory

Most mestizos are indigenous people. That word was created by white colonists to separate natives. You can still be indigenous at 50%. You don’t videos of African Americans being called hybrids when most have around 20-25 even 30 percent white

@shivani balbirsingh Yes there is quite a bit of a difference, because Mexican and Peruvian mestizos are usually indomestizos (60-80% Native American dna), while boricua and Venezuelan mestizos are usually triracial, being a mix of Spanish, African, and Native American ancestry.

Pero todos son Americanos Hispanos .

No te confundas : •Mestizo es hijo de Nativo americano +Español =mestizo . •Criollo hijo de Españoles nacidos en las Américas. •Castizo hijo de un Mestizo +criollo=castizo. •Mulato hijo de un africano +español=mulato . •Trigeño hijo de un 3 ramas africano+Español (europeo)+ nativo. •Zambo es hijo de Nativo americano +Africano=Zambo . • Morisco hijo de Árabe/moro +Español =Morisco. ....etc etc .

@@flyinpug3791 Sabes si quiera saber que es Mestizo ,Mulato, Zambo y sus orígenes genéticos, si sabes eso bien sino no escriba.

what is that? have you taken a dna test

what is that? have you taken a dna test

@@chupacabra1022 mesitza means she is of mixed race- a mix of native blood and European blood. It’s very common for people of Mexican descent to be.

@@sapointi I’m Mexican, so saying Mexican was the first thing that came to mind lol my bad

America was named after richard amerike siberian,

@@DameOfDiamonds what? Lol.

im pretty sure its not just a nationality..maybe im wrong but i do know its not a race

@@user-kd5eu9om5r of course it's just a nationality. What do you think it is?

@@goodaimshield1115 yeah sorry looking back at the comment i was wrong lol

Yep, shows their intelligence level. Mestizo is a colonial created word thats meant to separate natives. Should be abandoned

@@flyinpug3791 mestizos are a colonial creation that owe our existences directly to colonialism, the only one pushing separation here is you, trying to separate us and force us to chose one side of our heritage

@@sapointi you do realize Spaniards thought of natives as nothing more than animals? Read a history book. The only one being divisive is you, amigo.

@@flyinpug3791 naw my criolla great grandmother loved my kichwa great grandfather's brown 5'4 self she and her sister had a total of 12 kids with him, she didn't see him as lower than her, she adored him

@@sapointi that’s great. But the majority of them did not at the time. The queen of Spain ordered a law that Spaniards “play nice” with natives. They all rebelled against it and continued. But I’m referring to different times than you are. Again that’s good and all for your family. I have issues with crillos in power (media and government) who push mestizo as it is largely Eurocentric. Wouldn’t you agree?

that makes no sense. which dna test did you take

I'm 20% milk

No one cares

@@flyinpug3791 just reword it to "you're not Indian enough, you don't fit my narrative so I personally don't care because it annoys me that the mestizo demographic isn't solely made up of balenced and indomestizos" were in the 2020s not the 1500s millions of mestizos are majority European stop trying to divide us by our European/Amerindian blood quantums were a mix of European and Amerindian culturally and racially that's all the term means, it's our genetic/cultural/historical reality, we are a product of colonialism, we owe our existence to it

Ayyy another latino Federico!

I’m also the same 😂 relax

Mood: ni de aquí ni de allá but de aquí y de allá at the same time

Just identify as mestizo, it’s that simple.

I never heard of that, usually it’s the opposite, if you have lighter skin you’re more accepted to some Mexicans, because of colorism

cry me a river y deja de mamadas

Am mestizo too. My mother is Ecuadorian (mestizo) and my father is Albanian (white) and I was born and raised in London, UK. Even though am half white and mestizo, I look much more mestizo than white.

Definitely ☺️

@@lorenab5309 you are most probably castizo

@izzy dt I’m 51% native and 31% Spanish 4% middle eastern 4% west African

You’re probably both. Latinos are mostly all Mestizo or Castizo

@@shaunakkapse4254 she doesn't look castiza she just looks like she dyes her hair

The Diego that I’m closest to is an indomestizo, 3/4ths Amerindian, 1/4 Iberian. His dad is Nahua indigenous Mexican, and his mom is a mestiza.

Eh, regions with majority indigenous populations such as southern and eastern Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, and Bolivia have a lot of pure or near pure indigenous populations. Plus most brown Hispanics are either pardo, mestizos who’s dna is over 50% native, or indigenous. Also a study found that around 80% of Mexicans are some shade of brown.

U right tho

​​@@anonymousboi949yea, but in Mexico, the indigenous people are the minority, most of us are mestizos (mestizo in Mexico simply means mixed: indigenous with European, with African, with Filipino, with Arab, or whatever, percentages or order do not matter)

@@aleydisc.7192 yeah I don’t disagree here, and plenty of gringos and Americanized latinos try to push gringo logic of race binaries on latinos, when Latino culture is largely a mix of Iberian, western African, and Native American . But my point is that there’s still plenty of amerindians in Mexico, with majority native states including Puebla,Oaxaca, Chiapas etc.

​@@aleydisc.7192we are still deep in some areas and are making a comeback.

Makes sense since native american migrations into the americas were separated by thousands of years, and especially people in north mexico and the southwest got the genes from the newer waves, lesser extent in southern mexico.

Pero el término mestizo ha evolucionado y ahora simplemente significa mezclado éticamente

Pliny Elder not latinos

Lex Non Scripta Not true. Why would latinos want to replace other people lmao. We’re proud of being ambiguous though

It’s your assumption that this video is a tool to seek empathy. We are simply expressing the experience of our culture. I would be glad to hear your reasoning for this video being delivered for a purpose to seek empathy. - A mestizo

What's that?

@Le fin gourmet 2 o ok. So since we aren't in colonial times the word is almost irrelevant

chupacabra True, but it’s a word used for people who are like ~60% white and 40% indigenous

@@tiny2315 at what percent are you disqualify from that word? why not just call urself awhite person.

@@stillhere3311 you actually look majority European anyways the mestizo spectrum is from euromestizo to indomestizo

Why not? It’s better than using the terms castizo and harnizo.

Why not?? It's a symbol of pride in other Latin countries also.

@@anonymousboi949 Of course, most identify as mestizo in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, but that is ridiculous, because even many who are 100% native identify as mestizo and some even as white, that also happens in the US, many mestizos identify as white , and many natives as mestizos, even many Africans identify as white, it does not make sense. There is no mestizo ethnic group, if you notice the majority of those who identify as mestizo, their future generations become castizo and later simply white, it is only a transitory step. If a native dies and archaeologists find him a thousand years from now, they will make a study and determine that he was a native man taking into account his highest genetic percentage. All humans have some kind of mixture, there is no pure person, for example many Anglo-Saxons have a percentage between 8% and 12% of Afro-sub-Saharan blood, but that does not erase their identity, they continue to identify themselves as white because that is what they are. The Japanese have a lot of Anglo percentage, to see tell them that they are not Japanese, that they are only simple mestizos? Definitely the mestizo does not exist

Indigenous ones are even more discriminated

twisted history no mestizo in USA mestizo are discriminated a lot most American thinks all Hispanics are mestizo

Lol I'm Hispanic and Anglo Americans consider my Mestizo just because Mestizos make the majority of Latin America. Whenever I tell anyone I'm Latin American automatically people assume I am Mestizo lol.

Andrew Armijo what are you european Hispanic It’s like assuming all Americans are white when people say American

Shehzad Chowdhury Yes I am European descent. What are you talking about? Nobody assumes all Americans are white lol but everyone assumes all latinos are mestizo lol!even though Latinos are from Europe! Lol!

Why not?
