(Anonymous) 2012-03-15 06:44 am (UTC)(link)"Especially since black North Americans are generally the same type of mix as black Hispanics/South Americans: Afro,Euro & Indo. In fact if you think about it black should really just mean mixed since most people traditionally thought of as black are mixed. "
Generally the same type of mixed? This surprises and interests me actually. Do you have any links to studies of this? Many genetic studies in DR have shown that most of the Dominicans who participated were on average practically 40-60% African/European (including the darker and lighter skinned people). Only a minority of the people have more exclusive European or African genetics (near the borders or cities where mostly Europeans/Africans stayed). PR is about the same except the majority are more European.
Tbh I find what you're saying a bit hard to believe, That the majority of black north Americans have the same genetic makeup as Caribbean/South American black Hispanics. The ethnicity of the peoples involved are different with the common similarity being African ancestry from slaves. According to one study, the European ancestry in Dominican Republic is apparently more likely to be Semitic also, which greatly surprised me. South Americans are a lot more likely to have Amerindian ancestry than Caribbeans, also.
I do believe that there are places where black north American families are more likely to be racially mixed, but not quite the amount and to the extent that black hispanics/latinos can be and not the same ethnic makeup (other than African).
Who knows though. More studies would be interesting.
