[C. Clear]

Asad, I think you should pay more attention to the point L. Wilson is bringinh up than brushing it aside with maybe’s. While it is true that they might have more of a cultural identification than a racial one it is also true in Latino culture that African derived culture is a huge part. For a Puerto Rican, or a Dominican or that matter a Cuban to identify themselves as black when so much of the physical appearance and culture falls into that category. I have heard some Latino’s argue that since Latino culture is a mixture of Native, African and Spanish Culture that it escapes Racial category. Yet they also forget to mention that depending upon the person’s country of origin one of those three tend to dominate the culture as opposed to being evenly mixed. (e.g. Mexican Culture which is very Native American derived as opposed to Caribbean Latino culture which is very African derived.) I understand L. Wilson’s point fully and I don’t think your maybe’s are enough to brush it aside. Some serious thought must be given to his question.
