Some of the things you said are a bit odd, but people need to realize genetic averages are just that. If you were to average Americans they would come out as a mix too, so average racially diverse people in Latin America is odd. Even among whites there are white people who are 100% European and than those with admixture, sometimes the admixture can still be high but they look white so they are white and this distorts the average IMO. For example my family are 100% Eastern European but we've been in Latin America for 3 generations.
Good video. Just some thoughts: For some reason when you were talking about Argentina you really tried to emphasize that the reason why they received so much European immigrants was because the Pampas and surrounding regions' temperatures were "milder". While that is true to an extent, it really wasn't the deciding factor of European immigration. Many Europeans immigrated to Brazil and Cuba, countries that are (mostly) tropical, and countries that have mild temperatures like Argentina like Peru, Ecuador, Chile and Bolivia (the last two are actually "colder" than Argentina) received little to no European immigration. Temperature wasn't that important: jobs and economic opportunities were.
No one on earth is 100% Latino will never be a race, because their ancestors cross over from Asia, biologically Latinos are of indigenous eastern European and Asians descents.
In Latin America it doesn't matter if you are black, white, meztiso, indigenous or mulatto. The only thing we know is that we have all been poor at some point. 💀👍🏽
I think the usage of these two terms vary a lot, depends on who you ask, sometimes "latino" and "latin american" can be used interchangeably. For instance, I speak brazilian portuguese. When we are not referring to ourselves as simply brasileiros, we're saying "latinos" rather than "latino-americanos", but I suspect it's because it's easier to pronounce, lol
@@GingaLoquendero55 Yeah, Iberian-American is the better term. It is generally difficult to find terms that accurately describe vast and racially heterogenous regions like the Americas.
@@GingaLoquendero55 well that's maybe because canada almost everyone speaks english too, instead of latin america that is 100% romance lenguage. But yes i agree, canada may be also get integrated in the term "latin america" but that doesn't mean that the term "latin america" is wrong just because is mostly using excluding canada, and guyana speaks english. About Haiti you are wrong, Latin Americans do include Haiti when they refer to Latin America
thats not true, indigenous is more of a cultural thing not a blood quantum thing, giving that the Yaquis of Mexico for example are considered indigenous people but according to a DNA study on them, the average is only 56% indigenous
In Mexico, being indigenous is a cultural issue rather than genetics. There are also different classifications of mestizos, indo-mestizos, mestizos, harnizo or euro-mestizo and castiso. A person with a percentage of 75% indigenous and 25% European would be Indo-mestizo.
What gringos don't seem to understand, is that the rest of the world is NOT interested in giving clasifications to every single person. Jesucristo ayúdalos!😅
¡Alguien lo dijo! I never understood this US obsession with classifying people, look there's certainly differences but at the end of the day it matters very little, everyone wants the same: peace and prosperity
One thing which is also important to note is that most Latin American families can be composed of people with different attributes depending on those genes, something that Disney's "Encanto" nailed perfectly- whereas a couple of your relatives can be white as snow, some can be very tan and vary in features wildlyyyy
This is only surprising from a North American perspective where racism is so prevalent and overt that interracial marriages are seen as taboo. In Brazil, for instance, nobody bats an eye when they see an interracial couple. My father is mulato, my mother is white and I’m pardo, then my wife is a white European and my son has a white skin and blonde hair, but it’s thick and wavy instead of thin and straight… just another Brazilian family. When all the relatives get together, it’s a representation of the whole world’s ethnicities there, mostly white, but with pardos, blacks, mulatos, Asians and even middle eastern people and we all share the same Brazilian identity, which I think is very cool and you won’t see that anywhere else in the world, even the US that claims to be a melting pot.
@@395leandro When I look at Brazil's political leaders, wealthy class, tv hosts, and tv/movie stars, etc., I don't see a reflection of the mixed family and population of the people you speak of, nor what I saw of the people there on my numerous visits. We may speak about race differently, but Brazil definitely has as much of a racism issue as the U.S.
Because race is a substitutes for a caste system in the US. But, to be fair, Latin America is, in many ways, far more racist than the US. Latin Americans hide behind talk of racial democracy and descriptions of everyone is mestizo. When the rubber meets the road, whiteness or looking more white than Indigenous or Black is what matters.
0:01 *Francisco Lachowski* is a *Brazilain* model. Brazilians can be light-skinned; all the way to being “dark/black.” Just like *America* we have white & black *Americans* 🤷🏼♂️
This is why I don't like using name of color to refer to race. I prefer to just use geographical area to refer to race origin. European and African is still too broad of a region to pinpoint a certain race, but it's clear where Europe end and Africa start. Egyptian is African but they don't have deep dark skin like Sub-Saharan Africa. People from Solomon islands have deep dark skin but they're not "Blacks" as in black African, they're Melanesian. These naming of Black and White race is the origin of Papua New Guinea. Because the Portuguese explorer who first land there thought that Papuan people are like African specifically Guinean because of the skin color, hence New Guinea. TL;DR Use geographical term rather than color of the skin.

In fact, this mentality is not only American, but also European. In most Latin American countries, white people continue to hold most positions of power. Most middle-class neighborhoods are white, most doctors are white, most politicians are white, and so on. So this already happens in Latin America, but the way it happens is silent and sneaky...
Good catch of the crazy mix of South America. But you overlooked the arab and slavic immigration to Brazil. We have several millions of lebanese, syrians, turkish, ukranians, polish, russian, pomeranian (and I could go on) descendents mixing with every other ethnicity you mentioned. Such a melting pot.

What race are the latinos? - All, none, who cares. Americans are obsessed with race, and they're always asking, investigating and talking about it, which is something really annoying and cringe as f. Race in Latin America is not the big deal. There are racism and colorism (not like in the US), but class is a more important divisive issue.
In Brazil race doesn't really matter, I'm not saying that racism doesn't exist here, but what I mean is Americans seem to care and be more sensitive about it in a way, almost making it seem like a Black vs White thing. We prioritise not seeing what color you are, no matter if you're of African, European or Asian descent, we're all brazilians, and we also value our indigenous people, never ignoring they ever existed. I remember on tiktok, americans were saying my friend is not brazilian just because her parents are japanese (but still born here), so I don't get the difficulty to grasp the difference between ethnicity and nationality when it comes to the mix of people from Latin America.

So para constar que, a maioria nos bairros nobres é branca... então sim... no Brasil existe o racismo e não é pouco não!
In Latin America race is mostly how about you LOOK. In Brazil we have maaany problems regarding racism, just like the USA, so we do see race and talk about it. The difference? In the USA they want everybody to have a freakin PEDIGREE to be white, like… you’re only white if your genetics is PURE white (and this, to me, sound so bizarre… so “supremacist”) In Latin America if you look white, you’re white. If you look black you’re black. Because a cop won’t ask your dna test before shooting you unfairly. An HR interviewer won’t ask too see your family tree of the last X generations before thinking you’re more or less qualified because of your looks. Racism doesn’t really care about your background in most cases. I know a woman that has a mixed race/black mother and an white European father (immigrant). She was born extremely light skinned, green eyes, straight light brown hair and with extremely European facial features. She doesn’t look like her mom at all! She considers herself white, and why shouldn’t she? If she went around calling herself “black” because she has a black mother actual black people that suffer racism consistently would be MAD. Her husband is mixed race/mostly white and they had a baby. Their baby is light skinned, with european facial features, BLOND with green eyes. He’s white. That’s how race works here. 🤷🏻♀️ Oh, and in this very specific case, they ALL consider themselves brazillians. Even the woman whose father was an immigrant simply consider herself Brazilian, just that. Because she was born and raised here. Simple like that.
In the United States, they not only differentiate if you are white because you are of European descent, but they also care about where you are from Europe, they even distinguish if you come from Germany, the Netherlands, Italy or Ireland, even with last names. They have a obsession with that. They separate themselves with White American, German American and things like that. It would be very bad for Latin America to let that part of the US culture begin to influence.
@@netero1682 Saldly, already is infuencing plenty people, especially young people. Being chronically on internet and with most of streaming plataforms and social medias being american there is a lot of influence.
The thing in the USA is that because they always cared so much about pedigree and racial purity, a white American is very very distinguishable from the rest of Americans. Also, in South America the majority of Europeans came from the Mediterranean (Italy, Spain, Portugal and France) who among Europeans, tend to be of darker complexion (olive skin, shorter, darker hair and eyes). So in South America, being white is a much broader spectrum. White passing (people with mixed ancestry who look/pass as white) was a thing in the USA, just like in South America. But looking/passing as white in the USA is much more difficult, because you basically need to look like a Scandinavian, and looking like a Scandinavian when you have African/indigenous ancestors is not very common (it can happen, but mostly for people who have strong European ancestry from both sides of the family). Argentina is definitely closer to Brazil, except in Argentina nobody ever discusses their race. You said something about your mother or that other woman you know, considering themselves white. Well in Argentina the vast majority of people have never considered themselves any race. We are taught from a very young age in school that race is a dated concept that has no biological basis. So we don’t divide ourselves into racial groups. Everyone knows where their family comes from, but that’s it. It’s not uncommon for us to discuss where our grandparents come from, but the conversation revolves around culture and family history, not to prove our racial purity or anything like that. For example, it’s normal for people to talk about the little Italian/Spanish town their grandmother was born, it’s actually quite common for some Argentinians to travel to that little town to go meet their distant relatives or see the house their family was originally from. But it’s not exclusive to Europe, people do the same with their Latin American ancestors, or even with their Argentinian ancestors from other parts of the country (at least here in Buenos Aires, it’s full of people from other provinces. Almost everyone is either originally from an other province or their ancestors came from there). I imagine something similar happens in Brasilia.
@@agme8045White passing was never really a “thing” in the US…well the way you’re thinking of it. Racial mixing was considered taboo indications of such were the “1 drop rule,” if you had any parent, grandparent, great grandparent, or anyone along your direct line that was anything other than Anglo-Saxon you were exactly that and not Anglo-Saxon. (Ellen Craft a woman you wouldn’t be able to tell apart from any other “Anglo-Saxon” white woman was a slave she was considered black because her mother was black information like this for some reason is kept out of textbooks by choice). Some American whites are surprised to have African ancestry as some of these people escaped slavery and blended into white society by pretending to be white as wells as during reconstruction and Jim Crow. Also other Europeans within the US adopted this same rule because they were not considered to be genetically “white” like the English men were, but were considered to be higher racially amongst the hierarchal standard of “race.” To keep their place amongst the hierarchy of race they implied the same rule and so on further downward until you reach African/black at the bottom. Early US history racial mixing was rather a low occurrence but when it did happened it was mainly more prominent within the lowest on the racial hierarchy “blacks”…due to implications deemed cruel by modern standards. Mixture within European ancestry is a mix of old…the purchase of Dutch, French territories etc countryside settlers mixing with the English but primarily it’s a recent phenomenon mainly from the 1830-1850s British, Irish, and Germans attracted by cheap farmland 1st stage industrialization/mass migration as well as the 2nd mass migration after WW2 which brought millions more of other Europeans (Italians, British, Irish, Germans, French, etc.) to the US which was the largest migration of Europeans to the US. “Whiteness” became more homogeneous later on after the 2nd mass migration, as demographics changed the racial hierarchy still existed, its expansion allowed other Europeans to be on the top but the 1 drop rule still applied to everyone else that did not fit under it’s more modern definition. These parameters contributed a huge factor as to why racial admixtures as what we see today in North America are significantly less mixed than South America.
@@ingrid6295Honestly I prefer US’s version which may sound odd…since this is coming from an African American man. Not sure about the rest of South American countries but Brazil…which is a very mixed society I may add is practically hell on Earth for people that share my skin color and phenotypes. Brazil may not apply segregation on an ethnic/DNA based level but they do apply it on the skin color/phenotype level…at a much stronger level of enforcement than North Americans I may also add. You’ll be hard pressed to find Afro-Brazilians allowed to live amongst white-Brazilians or being able to move up the socio-economic ladder with the ease you have in the US. I tell any and every African-American complaining about racism in the US if you want to see real racism go live in Brazil. The race issue in the US has nothing to do with racism…in the modern day here, it comes down to personal flaws “accountability” many rather blame and put that responsibility outward instead of where the issue actually lies which is you.
It's very common to have different skin colours in the same family in Brazil. Both my grandfathers were black. Both my parents were mixed race but my mother has light skin and my father has darker skin. I was born white as a candle with blond hair. But genetically I'm still 21% West African (according to 23nme). I have a first cousin with very dark skin and her sister has light skin. Another first cousin who is very white and blonde. It's pretty common.
Most Brazilians (and also Latin/Iberan) are of mixd race and native and European Iberian South American descendants and the Portuguese being the majority in second the Spanish (even those of the South, a small portion is descended only from Germans but much later not the foundation because the ones who founded Brasil and create the luso-Brazilian identity were the tree first ) later, when they arrived, Afrcans began to marry and mix with him, being more common in the northeast region, which also has more the mixture of the three races. Catarina Paraguaçu Catarina Álvares Paraguaçu was born in Bahia(n the place were the most blacs older afrca concentrate)it is presumed, in 1503. Indigenos Tupinambá, wife of the Portuguese Diogo Álvares Correia, the "Caramuru" and the first woman to establish a family, in terms of Westrn Christan civilization, in Brazil. According to a baptismal certificate, held on July 30, 1528, in France, her real name was "Guaibimpará", according to the record of Friar Santa Rita Durão in his poem Caramuru. In this sense, it played a fundamental role in the integration of the peoples who formed the Brazilian people, constituting the mainstay and origin of the family in the country. Dona Catarina Paraguassú, wife of Diogo Álvars (the Caramuru), is considered a Tupinambá princess by her descendants, in the same way that Dona Maria do Espírito Santo Arcoverde, wife of Jerônimo de Albuquerque (the Adam Pernambuco), is considered a Tabajara princess by descendants and chroniclers. It is a genealogical memory that confirms and reaffirms the ethnic identity of Brazilans as descendants of Amerindans Our vocabulary, the name of the city is states is in the Portuguese language, Catholc and also Tupi-Guarani
This happened because even though they are blacs skin but they are also mix I’m morena, brown because I’m mix of Portuguese and native amerindians and my niece is blond even though my sister has the same color as me
True. That also happens with African American families. But, Brazil's racial caste system elevates people who are white passing. Historically, that wasn't necessarily the case in the US. People who had Black ancestry were Black. There was some privilege associated with lighter skin/more European features (colorism), but the law brutally enforced the caste system. Violating the caste system and trying to pass as white could be fatal. So, that led to the creation of a Black American ethnic group with its own dialects, cuisines, literature, art, and music. Although the One Drop Rule is no longer legally enforced, Black Americans don't divide themselves into black, mulatto, pardo, etc. as done in Brazil and other parts of Latin America. That's why you see people like Mariah Carey or Beyonce identify as Black.)
Noticed that US citizen have a weird obsession with brazilians heritage and argentinans. However, at the end, both countries most problems comes from clasism than their phenotypes (there's not such thing as race)
Brazil has one of the largest genetic variations in the world. The country has welcomed people from all over the globe, including Arabs, Lebanese, Syrians, Turks, Ukrainians, Poles, Russians, Pomeranians, Chinese, Japanese, Africans from various countries, and many Western Europeans-all mixing together. The average Brazilian typically has ancestry from at least three major groups, but it can be much more diverse. I can speak for myself: my ancestors came from nearly every continent. My lineage includes Arabs, Ethiopians, Jews, Germans, Portuguese, Brazilian natives (Indigenous peoples), and some from West Africa. This diverse heritage has given my family some very interesting traits. For instance, my grandmother is black but has a significant amount of Indigenous DNA from her mother. My great-grandmother, on the other hand, was as white as a sheet of paper.
Eu tinha muita vontade de fazer um exame de DNA meu para saber a salada de fruta que ia dar! Infelizmente nunca consegui juntar as histórias adequadamente dos meus bisavós ou trisavós.
Yeah thats true but actually on average 50% of all the immigrants that immigrated to Brazil left so while yes there might've been a large community of Ukrainians, Poles and Russians in Brazil in the late 1800s that doesn't necessarily mean there still is one.
In Mexico we have a philosopher named "José Vasconcelos" who had some questionable ideas about race. His book "The Cosmic Race" said that a "superior race" was going to emerge in Latin America, which consisted of having the best traits of the other "races" because of the theory that the best genes are obtained through race mixing by natural selection. He was Minister of Education in Mexico during the 30s and tried to be president of Mexico. He was one of the great thinkers of the "mestizo" identity and that race mixing was seen as something good (unlike in the United States).
Well he was on to something. In 2014 a scientific report came out, stating that the ideal human being was a Puerto Rican woman. Precisely because of the genetic admixture between European, Native and African. The perfect human didn't have to be from "Puerto Rico" precisely but the model most closely resembled a female from Puerto Rico. Since then, some have debated the report but it's a good theory I suppose.
@@magnusallmighty5000 Genetically speaking. Being mixed race allows a person to have more genetic variation or diversity, which can protect against diseases: “In what he called a “thought experiment,” Pachter looked at all the mutations in the database, noting the ones with beneficial and disadvantageous effects. His argument: the person with the most “good” alleles and the least “bad” alleles would be the “perfect human.” It just happened that the sample closest to this arbitrary constructed ideal came from a Puerto Rican woman.”
Why don’t people understand Latino is not an ethnic group, is just a geographical group? I’m blond, I have blue eyes. I descend of Portugueses, Greeks and Hungarians. I also have as small part of indigenous and African ancestry. I’m Latino just because I was born in Brazil. But I’m a white person. Actually, anyone can be Brazilian because there are people from everywhere here.
Mesmo que tenha pessoas de todos os lugares, vale lembrar que pela história a aparência do brasileiro é a do mulato, cafuzo ou bandeirante, mas isso é outra história. É um fato que um descendente de europeu nascido aqui é bem diferente de um europeu em questão de comportamento, já que foi "abrasileirado". Ele foi para o interior e adotou a cultura caipira, que não é nada mais nada menos que uma herança bandeirante.
In reality, we are an ethnic group, or rather, we are a pan-ethnic group. An ethnic group is defined not only by genetic ancestry, but by shared cultural identity and value system. From that point of view, we are an ethnic group, but a better definition is a Pan-ethnic group. A Pan-ethnic group is the union of various ethnic groups that are similar to each other, or the grouping of a large group with similar characteristics.
In the Americas there are two large Pan-ethnic groups, the Anglo-Saxons who would be countries like Canada, the US, Barbados in the Caribbean or Belize, etc., in the Latin groups there would be countries like Brazil, Mexico or Argentina. The Anglo-Saxons would have a cultural base in the British Empire, they would speak English, they would have a Protestant religion and a value system somewhat different from the Latins, the Latins would have a cultural base in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain / Portugal), they would speak languages of the Latin family, they would have a religion based on Catholicism and a shared value system slightly different from the Anglo-Saxons.

The original Brazilians are the ones that mixed with the indigenous, European and blacks everything after that is the results of immigrants from other countries. It's common sense you wouldn't call a Japanese born in Brazil a Latino because he's actually an Asian Brazilian.

SEE ? THANK YOU. NOT ALL DOMINICANS ARE BLACK. I'm a white Dominican myself, and I believe I shouldn't be discussing my race, when everything that I ONLY TRULY care about is MY NATIONALITY. nationalities DON'T HAVE A COLOR. now, there's a truth Y'ALL can't DENY, and that is that around 70% of Dominicans ARE MIXED RACE, meaning, that they're either mixed to certain patterns = European+Native ancestry, OR, European+African ancestry, AND/OR, European+African+Native ancestry. the common denominator here is an european ancestrial base, not african. there's NOTHING WRONG in clarifying our truth, because if it were a lie, we would succumb to anyone else's distorted perceptions. our dear neighbors do have a major AFRICAN base, and THAT SHOULDN'T BE NOTHING BAD. the thing is that WE SHOULDN'T be squarreling about this ever. race ISN'T A DETERMINATING FACTOR of a person's success. okay ? PELÉ WAS DARK-SKINNED AND WON MORE WORLD CUPS THAN MARADONA (well, they both were good players, not going to lie 😅 I LOVE BOTH), but hey, messi is also an exceptional player, and he isn't dark-skinned. see, this is just for historians. we're all tracing back to the dinosaurs era to see if having a lighter or darker skin makes you acquire superpowers. the thing is, THIS IS EARTH, MY BOY. THE REALITY IS THAT EVERYONE CAN SUCCEED. we should just STOP talking about this woke DEI discussion about "races." RACES ARE JUST A SOCIETAL CONSTRUCT, they DON'T depict reality. just enjoy life and breathe, gosh. we need humans, not walking DNA verifiers.
I think Dominicans especially in US do a great job telling Americans that majority are not black just like census shows people claim. I believe the issue is what Americans vs Dominicans consider black. To give an example & im not saying this is right at all but to me it seems like if your 70-100% African in DR your considered Black & in USA if your 25-100% African your considered Black. My percentages are prob not accurate for most opinions of Dominicans & Americans however I do believe there is a difference in the percentages if we were to break it down between what both cultures consider is black. I would say that difference in most cases maybe not as many Blacks in US have AmerIndian ( Taino, Mestizo, etc… ) in their DNA. During Slavery in US you had the 1 drop rule so that plays a part in Americans determination as well as who’s considered Black. Lately the term mixed is being used more in US especially due to more interracial couples & them having kids. In contrast I’ve heard people say that to Dominicans to say your black is like saying your Haitian & that’s why they rather identify as mixed to show their different. Obviously this all doesn’t rly matter since we’re all humans but it’s interesting to say the least 💯

Not ngl, I feel like conjugating everyone from South America as just one thing, despite the fact we are clearly from different ethinicities, has the same impact as saying pejorative slurs, like Mulato or the C-word. Specially when it comes to northern colonialistic countries like the US. I feel that if I just went to live there and publicly state the fact that I'm from Brazil, people would treat differently. I am visually and OBVIOUSLY mostly white. If I said so, they'd just be asking some steryotipcal questions, such as the soccer thing (I don't like soccer), the Latinas, etc. It pisses me off when someone who doesn't even live try to categorize our stuff, our SELVES, like if we were their own to toy with.
The term was already used in Europe and still used for all countries that speak a Latin-derived language. Obviously in their own language, so the word “Latino” written like that is for Spanish and Italian. But you are right about a thing: the US census. And the US didn’t include the Latin European countries in that census. So nowadays people who don’t even know the history of that word use it only for Latin America while the definition is different from the one of the US.
@@xhorxheetxeberria-td1hu In Latin or South America and the caribbean, the Indigenous people are referred to as Amerindians. They do not consider themselves as native Americans but Amerindian and this is coming from a person who is Amerindian. It is often used to refer to the indigenous peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean to distinguish them from the indigenous peoples of North America, who are more commonly referred to as "Native Americans"
Gringos would look like Latinoamericans but they put their amerindian population in reservations and that makes their black vs white narrative prevalent.
And they made those reservations for the few natives that survived the a n n i h i l a t i o n and g e n o c i d e, their ancestors endured from the white settlers stealing their lands. Most USA citizens with native dna are actually mexican-american or have hispanic ancestry 'cause unlike the iberians, the British and the germans considered the native peoples nothing but wild fauna, barely s u b h u m a n.
I mean not really there are other factors at play first of the native population in north america was much smaller compared to south americans, also the europen population between north and south america is kind of different north american eruopeans are primarily northern europeans while south american europeans are primarily of southern european descent, although both parts still have signifcant immigrant populations from the the other side of the european continet the fact the white population is more skewed towards north european in the USA and canada and towards south europeans in latin america would still lead to the difference in looks that you generally find between northern and southern europe
@@Victorvondoom9159 That's false because it turns out that all the German speakers (I'm not just referring to Germans, I'm talking about Swiss, Austrians or people from the Volga) who went to Argentina or Brazil were n@zis, but all those who went to the United States were "good people". Even I didn't hear anything about that or the clip operation or why Fanta exists. In fact, I traveled through Argentina and people said that at school they learned German, French or Italian until the 90s but then they imposed American English because it is more. "useful". Even in Brazil and Argentina were most north italians(who looks more like swiss for example) than in the United States where majority were south italians. In fact exists welsh villages that speaks welsh in argentinian Patagonia.
im 50% austrian, 25% italian, 22% levantine and 3% ashkenazi, its crazy when people say that brazilians are not white, since i live in the south of brazil and most people i know are white
It is as crazy as saying gringos themselves are not white because they are born on the other side of the pond. It is that stupid what he US Census Bureau establishes.

I am Brazilian, my paternal grandmother is from Portugal, my paternal grandfather is a descendant of slaves who came to Brazil, born in Minas Gerais. On my mother's side, my maternal grandmother is the daughter of an Italian and my grandfather is the grandson of a Greek guy, a Lebanese refugee , a Italian lady and a descendant of French and the Royal House (Borgonha) of Portugal. I am a complete mix of several different nations.
I'm considered a white Brazilian, I've made a DNA test and found out I'm 64% European, 17% sub Saharan African, 12% Amerindian and 7% north African. Also I'm 8% Sefaradim Jewish and 4% Ashkenazi (from Europe), and 3% Mizrahim (North Africa), so I have just 4% of Arabic ancestry. My European ancestry is mostly from Iberia (32%).
Bolivia was overlooked. Surprising that the average amerindian genetic origin is less than Peru, but culturally the indigenous is mainstream in Bolivia.
Mas o menos, depende demasiado, bolivia para los bolivianos lo consideran la nación de las tres civilizaciones por algo del contexto histórico mas complejo (respecto a lo que dices es bastante cierto en general)
Bolivia is more indigenous than Peru though I think this channel didn't do their research well. Peru has more mixture despite of having a high indigenous ancestry. Not so much the case for Bolivia you need to go to Bolivia to see in
I'm surprised you included Uruguay in your video. It's so often overlooked. I did a 23&Me DNA test years ago, and the results were kind of shocking. The report states that I am 90% European with 9% Amerindian and then some Italian, Ashkenazi, etc. This came as a shocker considering my family tree. Almost 90% of my distant relatives on the app are from Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil or Argentina. It's not surprising since we share similar cultures and customs. Great video.
BZut the staye of Rio Grande was founded by the Bandeirantes which was the mamelucos, mix of whites and amerindias tupinambás too even touth now they look more whites they were mix with natives too🫡
@ac9184 Right, I misspoke. I should have said that I am 90% Iberian with a sprinkle of Italian, Ashkenazi, and other European decents, including Finnish at like 0.2.

My family arrived in brazil in 1880 and since the south was mostly empty we didn’t face race mixing as much as other parts of Brazil

Yes it is similar, but they are racially more separated, compared to Latinos, Latinos on the other hand are more mixed, in addition White Latinos present high levels of Amerindians, in non Hispanic White Americans it is rare to see Amerindian ancestry, usually small traces of Afro are found.
European English? You mean European and English? Cause there's gazzillion of German, Irish, Scottish, Italian, French, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish, Polish, ex Yugoslav, etc Europeans in USA. Not only English European. There's more than 40 million Americans with German heritage alone. When combined (Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Ireland, eastern Europe, central Europe) the majority of the USA-ians would have EU heritage for sure.

My results are almost the same. 59% Portuguese, 10% Nigerian, 10% Native American. The rest were, Middle east, Eastern Europe, and North and West Europe. The latter could come from the fact that my mother's family is from the Northeast, which was a dutch colony.
African men, women, and children were not "slaves". They were people who were "enslaved". The term "slaves" negates their humanity. These men, women, and children were "the enslaved".
Great video content! I live in the Brazilian Amazon. Part of my father's family is from Portugal, and part of my mom's family is from Austria and Native American. I think Brazilians are not Hispanic; they are Latinos. Portuguese and English are my favorite languages, and no, I don't understand Spanish. 😅
That's interesting. Are you close to English or Italians or French ??? Which culture ?? Austria is German. You are half German half Portuguese. Once you are born in Brazil your soul is Brazilian
Is not what you think, it's about what it is. Brazil is Lusoamerican >iberoamerican>latinoamerican (debatable if such thing exist, but if it does...) Hispanoamerican is exclusive to the Spanish speaking countries.
You say Portuguese is your favorite language and yet I am sure you are incapable of conjugating common verbs with accuracy. Have you uttered the basic word “este“ once in your entire life? Guess not, eh? “Esse“ 100% of the time, yes? « Portuguese and English are my favorite languages » As if you knew anything at all about any other languages.
I'm Brazilian and I did a DNA test (MyHeritage) and these are the results: *European: 51,2%* (Iberian, Italian, Ashkenazi Jew, Finnish) *African: 24,8* (Nigerian, West African, Kenyan, Central African, Sierra Leonean) *Amerindian: 21,2%* *Middle Eastern/Nepalese: 2,8%*
Mexico does not ask people their race on their census. The 31% Amerindian population figure comes from the CIA. Mexico does ask about languages spoken at home. Just over 10% speak an Amerindian language at home but some of those also speak Spanish. If the Mexican census did ask people their race the vast majority would probably say Mestizo.
The Mexican government doesn't ask but there are other ways to check. Usually Universities and Hospitals can conduct studies with the data they do have. Our spanish and culture very much shows that mestizo identity since we have a lot of Nahuatl loan words in Mexican Spanish, to the point where it becomes difficult for other spanish speakers to understand us sometimes and vice versa. One thing that does get missed out in Mexico and most of Latin America though is the acknowledgement of African contributions as well as contributions from other parts of the world culturally. I don't personally consider my culture European but something mixed and I just wish the US would think of us that way as opposed to aliens from mars or a white people of some kind apparently. We have strong native roots on this continent but also roots from all over the world.
@@Jorora Few days ago there were a lot of black americans saying that a white girl wasn't white because she was latina 😬 Can you think of a latino telling a black person telling them they are not American because they are black instead of white?
@@Jorora University and Hospital studies are nowhere near as accurate as a well done census. All countries in the Western Hemisphere have loan words from local Amerindian tribes. I speak Mexican Spanish and I can understand Columbians and Chileans just fine. There may be a word here and there that I don't understand in the same way there are British words I don't understand as a speaker of American English. But I can ask for clarification and we then understand each other. The vast majority of Mexicans speak a European language and practice a European religion. Those are just facts. Germany has had contributions to their culture from Turkey to Syria. Doesn't make them not German or not European.
For every indigenous person that speaks their language there are another few which although still connected to their ancestry do not speak the language. This applies in most of the Americas including Mexico. Languages are not being passed down but people can remain connected through family. But that on it's own is not a reliable indicator of the indigenous population.
I'm mexican, all of my great grandparents are european, 7 are Spanish ( Galicia and Asturias ) one is French ( Navarre ), other than "race" I have nothing to do with Europe, I'm 100% mexican in every aspect.

Essentially anglosphere and hispanic world view race differently bc both england and spain do have differences on how they approached colonization. Anglosphere did by segregation and always keeping people in groups apart, while spanish made a bet on syncretism and unified people from many different backgrounds under one religion (not even language bc most native languages were preserved and spanish was not compulsory) and the promotion of interracial marriages. this is why being mixed raced in latin america is way more common than US or any other country of the anglosphere. Also to remark no other continent did develop this trait of blending like latin america did. This is why people in latin america have a collective culture attached to their nationality instead of their ethnicity, unlike americans that always talk about racial identity, arabs in the states and europe almost all still are muslims by 2 or 3 generations, arabs in latin america most end up being catholic by 2 or 3 generations. asians in the states and europe tend to keep themselves to their ethnic group. asians in latin america tend heavily to interracial marriages and in 1 or 2 generations they're fully latinos. africans that came to latin america become heavily westernized in their lifetime and lose many ties with africa. there is no such thing as race, there're people that come from countries that speak spanish or portuguese.

Last time I was arguing that Shakira and Salma Hayek are latinas even when they have arab ancestry the reasons it's because literally almost all of latin America has foreigner ancestry, and few people is 100% native qmerican, so you are born here, you adopt the culture, you are from here that's it. Its not the same like in the United Statesm that they put "asian american" "african american" except for "european american" mmm Interesting...

No brazilian would say or take that tag saying "I'm brazilian" instead. The need of segregation from some people by using skin color as a thing to name before their nationality is as self-derogatory as it is arrogant. And then they ask why they are unilaterally called gringos...
We do not care about that bullshy of race. We are just humans si there is only one single race, the human race. We are elitist, we care a Lot about the social class and status.
I think people think brazilians are blacker than we are because most stereotypes from brazil are from Rio, the state with most black people, except for bahia mentioned in the video... Also football players are mostly black and mullatos.
in fact, foreigners think that the majority are black due to the fact that some data on the black population in Brazil combines pardos with black people, as if pardos people were black, but pardo people are any person who is the daughter of parents with different races, if their father is indigienous and your mother is white you are a "pardo cabloco" for example, and there is also pardo skin color, which is the skin color of Anitta, Neymar, Alane Dias and others
the culture is Majority African and native influenced too. with over 50% of the population being a mix of native black and mixed race its earned that title.
My DNA is 51% European, 32% African, 15% Middle Eastern, and a small percentage from Native people in the Amazon. I am parda, and it makes me glad that some people still acknowledge pardos, especially when people from my own country often try to fit our diverse population into a binary box of either white or black! What an amazing video! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

You didn't mention Venezuela, but it is one of the most mixed countries on the continent, along with Colombia and Brazil. On the street you will find people with all kinds of features. Although our indigenous population is very low, the interbreeding between indigenous people, Europeans and Africans is very high. For decades, Venezuela was an oasis that received immigrants, including Italians, Portuguese and Spanish.
I love how diverse Latinos are! Some countries more than others! My family a mixture of all these.

just want to correct something. Actually Venezuela is the third country that had with the biggest influx of Italian migration. ( Spanish and Portuguese too) Look it up on google. After World War II Venezuela was a prosperous country attracting many European immigrants. they went to Argentina/Uruguay and brazil the most following Venezuela. There were a lot of Venezuelan of italian descent that have left now though because of the socio-politcal situation but there is a big italo-venezolano culture even that we use for memes.

It means you're from Latin America, it should be a description of someone born in Latin/Iberian America and not as an race or ethnicity. All countries of the Americas are New World countries, just like the US and Canada, it should be fair to treat them as "raceless" as the US.
Latino is a term that means you are ethnically white. Latino comes from Europe it does not come from the Americas. Hence the French gave the name Latin America because the French themselves are Latinos
Logic of the world today: you were born in Rome in the region of Lazio in Italy and you have Italian as your native languages = no, you are not Latino But if you were born in the Andean mountains in Peru and your native language is Quechua and you had to learn Spanish to access better opportunities = yes, you are Latino

9:40 Bolivia is definitely more amerindian background than peru, those percentages should be flipped. Peru is more like 67-70% native and Bolivia is closer to 75-80%
Bolivian here. What happened in Bolivia is that, before Evo and all the indigenists movements, some people identified as mestizo and later because the movement identified as native. What is true, is that the African and European people are a minority. The only blacks that i saw in my childhood were the Brazilians (the dark skinned amerindians where the "negros" of the neighbourhood), and the whitests were the gringos and a couple of Korean missionaries.😆😆 those Asians glowed under the sun and child me though that they were the ultimate white race.
Black people here in Brazil have a great portion of european DNA. Neguinho da Beija-Flor, a known black samba singer, has almost 70% of european genes, for example. It's crazy.
A portion of Latin Americans are White Hispanics because of their high percentage of Spanish ancestry. Both sides of my family are from Mexico, but most of our heritage and genealogy come from Spain. The majority of my family looks like White Spaniards.
Let me explain, almost all White Hispanics have Amerindian Haplogroups, they can be racially 95% White but they still have Amerindian genetic markers, this happens with White Argentines.
The first wave of Spanish migration was almost entirely made up of men, who had mestizo children. These mestizo children mixed again with later waves of Spanish or other European migrants, giving rise to the White Hispanics. This explains why the majority of racially White Hispanics have Amerindian mitochondrial DNA.
I've done the ancestry dna test and I'm Brazilian and as a Brazilian i got like 46 % european, 30% african and the rest native american ( Amerindian ) And in the european part its all mixed.

The real history of Chile 🇨🇱 with the Europeans. Draw your own conclusions if you really think that Chile is not a European country (In the ethnic context ) . Just by telling them that we were barely a million before European immigration, the high European descendants will know what we have as Chileans, In fact, the south of Chile was colonized by Germans, we have oktoberfest for example, we also have tea time in England, Most Chileans are white and a mestizo could even be a combination of Croatian and Italian for example 🤷🏻 However, Chile has a variety of European mixture. : I want to edit my comment to say another factor, each country in Latin America has different cultures and ways of speaking Spanish, each country has its own history, you can't say that we are all the same because it is not like that, that is a stereotype. For example, you invented Latins, since Latin is a language from which Spanish, Italian, Portugal, French etc. The problem is that you don't know geography and a high percentage of the "American" population thinks that these countries are not European. By the way, America is a continent not a country, you have dedicated yourselves to writing your own history about us, we Hispanic Americans are very different, many even hate each other, many speak badly of accents etc. By the way, America is a continent not a country, you have dedicated yourselves to writing your own history about us, we Hispanic Americans are very different, many even hate each other, many speak badly of accents etc, that is why each country is different We all have our own accent and within each country there are even more accents. **History of Chile with Europe:** List of European immigrant groups that arrived in Chile during the 19th and 20th centuries: 1. **English:** Mainly associated with the development of the mining industry and the expansion of the railway network. 2. **Germans:** Contributed to the development of industry, agriculture, and culture, especially in southern Chile. 3. **Italians:** Arrived in large numbers, mainly contributing to agriculture and industry. 4. **French:** Stood out in the cultural, educational, and wine sectors. 5. **Croatians:** Contributed to agriculture and cultural diversity. 6. **Swiss:** Especially in areas such as banking and agriculture. 7. **Scandinavians (Swedes, Norwegians, Danes):** Established communities in the south and contributed to various sectors, including agriculture. 8. **Portuguese:** Mainly in commercial and fishing activities. 9. **Poles:** Contributed mainly to agriculture. 10. **Belgians:** Excelled in industry and commerce. 11. **Russians:** There was a small but notable Russian community in Chile. 12. **Dutch:** Mainly associated with agriculture and livestock farming. 13. **Greeks:** Contributed mainly to commerce and industry. 14. **Irish:** Some arrived as part of the Irish diaspora, contributing in various sectors. 15. **Czechs and Slovaks:** Contributed to cultural and labor diversity, especially in areas such as agriculture and industry. 16. **Hungarians:** Contributed in various fields, including agriculture and education. 17. **Scots:** Participated in commercial and financial activities, especially in the banking sector. 18. **Austro-Hungarians:** Including Austrians and Hungarians, they contributed in various fields such as agriculture and commerce. 19. **Romanians:** Although in smaller numbers, some Romanians also emigrated to Chile, participating in commercial and artisanal activities. 20. **Bulgarians:** A small but notable community that mainly contributed to agriculture and commerce. 21. **Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians:** Part of the migration wave from the Baltic countries, some of these immigrants settled in Chile, contributing to various industries. 22. **Finns:** Although in smaller numbers, some Finns also emigrated to Chile and contributed to the timber industry and agriculture. Each of these groups uniquely contributed to the socioeconomic and cultural development of Chile during the 19th and 20th centuries, leaving a significant mark in different regions of the country. **Fun fact:** **Spaniards:** Although Spanish colonization had already left its mark on Chile, there were additional migrations of Spaniards during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The impact of these groups varied by region and time period. In Santiago, European influence was reflected in architecture, education, economy, and culture. Many of these immigrants founded businesses, schools, hospitals, and contributed to industrial development. In southern Chile, especially in regions such as Los Lagos and Los Ríos, European influence is even more notable. German, Swiss, Croatian, and other settlers transformed agriculture, introduced new farming techniques, and contributed to the cultural diversity of the region. In summary, European immigration during the 19th and 20th centuries left a profound and lasting impact on the society, economy, and culture of Chile, especially in Santiago and the southern part of the country. During the 19th and 20th centuries, the Chilean population underwent significant demographic changes due to European immigration and other factors. Although Chile’s population in the 19th century was relatively small, around 1 million inhabitants, by the 20th century, the population had grown considerably. The arrival of European immigrants, along with natural population growth and other migratory flows, contributed to an increase in the total number of inhabitants in Chile. European immigration not only added genetic and cultural diversity but also influenced the country’s social, economic, and political structure. Beyond the demographic impact, European immigration brought new ideas, technologies, and practices that contributed to the development and modernization of Chile in areas such as agriculture, industry, education, and science. In summary, European immigration during the 19th and 20th centuries played a significant role in the transformation of Chilean society, contributing to demographic growth, cultural diversity, and the country’s economic and social development.
a Paraguayan here! We are a country with a high rate of Italian, Spanish and German immigrants. Curiously, we are the only country in Latin America with 2 official languages: Spanish and Guaraní (native language). Guaraní is spoken by more than 90% of Paraguayans, no matter if they are indigenous, mestizo or European descent!
As a Mexican I can say that Mexicans and Chileans are similar to each other especially northern Mexicans maybe to some extent Colombia and little bit of Venezuela and Paraguay
Yo como mexicano cuando fui a Chile si me pareció cierto parecido a la gente del norte y occidente mexicano en el sentido que el mestizaje fue más "parejo" quizás pegando más al lado europeo pero casi 50/50
You know I just clicked the video to see what you had to say about argentina. We generally get a lot of shit from other countries, mostly outside latin america just because we have almost to no black presence in football teams. I'm glad to see you also included Uruguay, which is generally overlooked.
In short, Brazilians are Portuguese from the Americas, mixed with indigenous people at the beginning of the discovery and with Africans in some regions of the country. Brazil has millions of descendants of Germans, Italians, Polish and Japanese. This image that Brazilians are Cariocas (from Rio de Janeiro) is fallacious, the country is huge.
@@flowershower6857 Essa é sua opinião. Há uma grande população negra e parda e em muitos lugares há uma maior concentração, mas isso não é regra. Nada contra negros e pardos, mas o sangue indígena foi miscigenado em todo o país, há mais dna indígena agora do que no passado, mesmo que alguém aparente ser branco ou pardo. No sul há mais miscigenação africana ou indígena? No norte há mais indígena ou africanos? Acontece que esses governos republicanos e progressistas querem que as pessoas se declarem e se auto imaginem negros.
@@flowershower6857 That's your opinion. There is a large black and brown population and in many places there is a greater concentration, but this is not the rule. Nothing against black and brown people, but indigenous blood was mixed throughout the country, there is more indigenous DNA now than in the past, even if someone appears to be white or mixed race. Is there more African or indigenous mixing in the south? Are there more indigenous people or Africans in the north? It turns out that these Republican and progressive governments want people to declare themselves and imagine themselves to be black.
@@cinzamarelo segundo testes de dna, a maioria dos br sao mais afros q indigena em todas regioes exceto norte. E sim, o sulista é euro dps afro dps nativo. Dna n mente
The thing for Brazil is that outsiders will NEVER know what race we are, because we are all the races there is in the world, from European to Asian, to Arabic and Black, of course, so, there's that, we are all, we are our own.
Latin America, specially Brazil, is the only place in the world that mixes 3 populations from completely different regions of the world. That defies traditional racial classifications and show that the concept of race isn’t simple at all and there are no lines that separate a race from another. This, mixed with all the minor immigrations from even more regions of the world (japan, middle east, eastern europe) just add one more layer of complexity to the problem. If you want to imagine how a multiethnic world without borders would be, just take a look at Brazil.
Just to give you an idea, my future wife's grandparents on my mother's side are Japanese, on my father's side they are Italian, Portuguese and French, my father is black, my mother is of Portuguese descent. This is Brazil, the great ark of nations 😊
True. Yet, Brazil pretends to be a racial democracy when it is very much a racist country that rewards whiteness much more so than the US. Brazil's culture has been traditionally anti-Black with limited social mobility, little access to economic opportunity, terrible police violence, etc. So, yes, people can have a mixed background, but to have real success and acceptance, one has to look white. From an American perspective, it's weird to hear Black Brazilians discuss the kind of casual racism they encounter like anti-Black sayings/idiom, cruel criticism of their features, etc.
@@ScoobySnacksYum You're not wrong. Racism in Brazil is odd to say the least. It's a remainder of the slavery that went on until 1888, we just can't overcome the slaveowner mindset. It's hard to describe Brazil's racism: it's more economical than ideological, we crave for an mostly enpoverished population that works for the cheapest of salaries to do all the dirty jobs the elite and middle class doesn't want to do. It's not that we hate black people and don't want them to even share the same ambient than white people like american racists. We want to see black people always on the bottom of society, working for the rest of Brazil on the nastiest of jobs, it's a mentality that greatly opposes the american liberal capitalist mentality. Racism in Brazil is less comportamental and more systemic, we call it structural racism. The worst part is, since black genetics have been greatly dilluted on our society, we can't draw a line anymore so it's common to see mixed people with at least 40% african genetics being racist against people that has only 10% or so more, it's all about the looks as you said.
