I’m Afro Latino I don’t understand why it’s so hard for some to grasp! We are Latinos who have origins in Africa just like African Americans

[Winnerzcircle]

People are so obsessed with race and culture. Its starting to become cringe.

[maxxbarzz]

Funny tho. Most Latinos will try to identify as white

[jlcii]

As someone who is afro and Native Puerto Rican from one parent and black white mix from another, I appreciate anyone willing to take the time to explain to people what afro Latin is.

[doncnunez]

[christiangallardo]

afro mexican from la costa chica we ain’t forgotten

[coolkennth]

Latino is an ethnicity only as a technicality in the us census

[dcoldestjenkins]

Many of us do get it. I'm a Foundational Black American.

I find it kinda weird that she has to explain this to Afican Americans cause all the ones that I know already knew this. Its just a few of hy white friends that do not know and would literally tell her to her face that she is not Latina because she does not look it to THEM. Sad as it is I wish I were joking I have seen it happen. A person that we work with is 100% Latino and my white co workers/ friends tell them they are not because the person does not resemble the Latinos that they are used to seeing in Arizona. Mind you this person's first language is Spanish. Smh

I’m blexican, lol I’m half Mexican and African American from Los Angeles, and people ask me all the time why I speak Spanish so welI. I’m first generation Mexican American. I am Afro-Latina, if some one says no I am not, I let ‘em know our experience is different. Same boat, just a different stop during the Slave Trade.

[queen_of_domination]

She’s nuts!!! I grew up around Afro-Latinos. There was nothing to explain.

[Dogtubee]

U never had to explain the term to aa . Just tryna start something

[jaylindr]

Proud Afro Latino 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇺🇸🇺🇸 My family is Dominican from New York!

[lorenzorenzulli]

Hello I have a question for you guys in the comms: as she has mentionned Haïti, are black people in french outer seas territories in the amazonian forest (french guiana) and the Carribbean (Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint-Martin) are considered also Latinos ?

[dwj]

As a black man like myself I say welcome.

[Jesusisking-ce]

“End of the day though you are not biologically white just to remember that”🗿

[kells-vp]

Black isn't a It's is a color.

[NikkNakk]

I'm sure that you have to clarify this with some White Americans as well. At first glance, I'm pretty sure that they classify you as BLACK

[lordschild]

It’s always “African Americans” when in reality we don’t be giving af about y’all… Lol I keep telling my ADOS brothers and sisters “we need to separate ourselves from this weird ass diaspora”…

[ArticSun]

1. Black is a color not a race. 2. Highly melanated people were here way before Columbus. 3. I'm going to let you do your research and find when south America became Latino..
