Almondandlime 6,854 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Although plenty do not, most latinos have at least some amount of native heritage, though this is almost never acknowledged. Latinos with some native ancestry are basically seen as a completely separate 'race' from people with some ancestry native to the US and Canada. Somehow I doubt the natives of present day south Arizona were all that different culturally and physically to the natives of north Mexico but one is called a 'native' and the other is considered a latino/foreigner in the US. Why do you think this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapmon's Ahjussi Husband 2,299 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Not all native americans where the same, there were pacific like in Argentina ( Wichi, Mapuche, Diaguita), and then we have incas who were "not that pacific" in Peru, the same goes for the Aztecas who were more developed than other tribes on Mexico, so each country has a different perspective about their native people, just because they were indians doesn't mean they were the same all along America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people talk about people native to the southern US as if they're a completely different race of people to the natives of Mexico even though they're very close geographically. One is a "native american" and the other is just a "latino" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigo 16,433 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Tribal ties, and more mixing among white/black south of the boarder. The mixed peoples became their own 'type' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lol_ 474 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I get what you mean. I'm a Latina myself. I heard that in Mexico they don't have an official census so it's hard to know how many people are Natives, mestizo, or Spanish/French. I am mostly of native heritage (Aztec maybe) and some Europeean on both sides of my family. But yet people don't consider us Natives like the natives in the US lmao. Only Mexican. When I applied for my work permit, I was labeled as Mexican/Latino/Caucasian (even though I don't look "white" ) and not Native. my last name is Spanish though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is a "native american" and the other is just a "latino" Ohhhh I get it, well yes, according to history they are the same: native american; but that's a way to rewritte history to separate themselves so they can bash, feeling the other part is "less human", it happened in South America too with eurocentrism; it's a way of racism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totek 2,527 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I kinda get what you mean Native Americans from Central America and North America are the same and share the same ancestry but they depeloved very different cultures because of geographical reasons so this makes people from the US believe they are different "races" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almondandlime 6,854 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 native heritage irregardless is usually ignored I wouldn't say so. Being like 1/4 native is enough to be called "Native" rather than any other racial heritage you have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
