[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] So where do the terms "blackamoor" and "tawnymoor" come from, if not from Europeans describing Africans resident in Europe--especially Spain, Portugal, Italy and Britain from the 8th century onwards. And in the Spanish language the term "moreno"("like a Moor") invariably refers to someone darker than the olive coloured Iberians(Spanish and Portguese). And how do we explain the fact that Cubans( Cuba was once a Spanish settlement colony) refer to their popular "[white]rice and [black] beans as "moros y(and) cristos". The meaning is obvious: the Moors of Spain were black and the indigenous Spaniards were "white Chritians". [/QB][/QUOTE]
