what percentage of hispanics have african ancestry?
597797
I don't think that there is a reasonable way to even estimate that percentage because of the undocumented mixing in previous underdeveloped countries and neglect of that sort of record keeping in this country.  Hey, at this point we are all mutts.

I read someone say that Puerto Ricans were of Spanish decent but lets not forget that there are people of African ancestry as well, so it should not be labeled as simply  a Spanish/Latin commonwealth.

I believe that at this point it is 34% and climbing.  Census experts say that by 2010 California will have a majority of Latinos and Caucasians will be the minority...California will be brown like it was originally! Viva la Raza!

OK, Pig...first off it's HISPANICS!! It's called spell check!\n\nSecondly, are you saying North America like the US, or the continent? Cuz Hispanics make up the whole southern central piece of the continent...so I could go on & on about their countries!\n\nReferring to the US, do you eat food? A lot of it is harvested by migrant workers....and some of it is shipped in FROM Latin American countries? Ever heard of Taco Bell (OK, so that's a lil sarcastic, but still) or how about Texas, New MEXICO, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, California....oh soooo many names that have come from Spanish....how about roofing & construction or cleaning houses, etc? Or how about actresses & politicians & school teachers? How about song writers & dancers & the artists themselves? \n\nMaybe a better question would be, what areas have Hispanics NOT influenced? Cuz I can't think of a single one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All Mexicans are Hispanic, but all Hispanics are not Mexicans.  Hispanic refers to the culture of the Caribbean and Central and South American culture. The name derives from the Island of Hispaniola, which was discovered and claimed in the name of Spain

Mexican means you just moved here from mexico. Hispanic means you come from mexican origin.

According to the 2000 Census, 12.9% of the American population claimed African-American heritage either as their only race or as a combination with another race.

The Census does make the distinction. Hispanic and race are unrelated. One can be of any race AND of Hispanic origin. The link below has some info on how the Census Bureau deals with it.

Both are correct.First you are hispanic in the sense that you were born in HISPANIA or Hispanic Peninsula(NOT IBÉRIA, BECAUSE IBÉRIA IS , THAT PART OF SPAIN OR HISPANIA OR HISPANIC PENINSULA THAT  CONTAIN ALL PROVINCES OF HISPANIA EXCEPT LUSITÂNIA/PORTUGAL) and secondly you are latin because Rome invaded and conquered by slaughter and treason Hispania imposing the PAX ROMANA (whatever that means),mixing Hispanic culture, blood and language with their own.So , we are all the cultural result of that event and many more before Rome.

I would say Hispanic anything relating to Spain\nand Latin referring to all countries in Central and South America, which of course, also had their start with Spain to some degree.

Are you kidding? Have you noted that video clips from black artists from USA only have blacks and from white artists only have whites? Sounds like 2 different nations in the same territorry. The president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, is native american. The former president of Peru, Alejandro Toledo is native american too. Any black so far, but the black population of Latin America is not very large. Anyway, Chávez is almost black, the guy must have about 75-85% of black blood. The thing is that here in Latin American things are more naturally, we don't point someone to make part of the government because he/she is black.

not everybody thinks that, when i moved down south that is what everybody thought when they saw hispanic person because most hispanics down here ARE mexican, but up north many people know the difference because more hispanics from other countries live there, it depends where you live

Don't worry about.  Besides, American is a nationality where Hispanic refers more to an ethnic back ground or race.  They are two completely different categories.  Considering yourself as both is correct.
