i have a theory that with the african american, they are teaching latin africans to embrace more of their africanness. because of that they are revisiting the colonial days. in the books it says there are only mestizo, mullato in latin america. but that is stereotype. but on one side of the theory, i think they are trying to eliminate the mestizo so that the only latin americans remaining are mullato. there were different people before the colonial and slave trade days but i wont talk about that unless it is necessary i guess
