[b] [QUOTE]Originally posted by USA: In LatinAmerica: No One Drop/Hypodescent rules, social race evolved/developed in a color continuum. One drop of black blood did not make you black, it made you something else. Likewise no reverse onedroppism, one drop of white blood made you something else. To use a crayon example I read on another forum: Gray is composed of black and white. Gray is neither black or white. In the USA, Gray was called black. In LatinAmerica, gray was called gray. Thus if a sufficiently mixed/lighskinned (Jeremiah Wright, Alicia Keys, etc.) AA who is considered black in the USA is in Colombia (just randomly standing there) and someone yells out "el negro", they would completely miss them. That was the main point. But you are correct in the observation that if let's say Alicia Keys went on concert in Colombia, they know she is an American singer, so they would not use their definition of black on her and call her AfroAmericana (the USA term). But is she was a native Colombian, they wouldn't label her black. [/qb][/QUOTE][/b] USA - what you say is technically correct, but at the same time, it is dis-ingenious. The population demographics of Latin America is of a mixed-race people. Except for Chile, though Whites have the power and wealth, the majority is non-white. Therefore racial politics could not possibly be the same. If on the other hand, you are trying to suggest that there is no racial discrimination in Latin America, then you are sadly mistaken. Additionally, Latin America has the greatest incidence of racially obsessed and confused people in the world. [/QB][/QUOTE]Your first sentence " USA - what you say is technically correct" directly answers my post and confirms that it is on point. The rest of your post is the typical response I previously stated (full of assumptionts of things I've not addressed or implied/stated) Much wrong with what you said but this is off topic.
