If Tito is black, and Margarito is white, whats Cotto?

[Dice]

You are right, PR is a country!!!!! All of the americas are mixed up.You have Caribbeans, Central americans , south Americans, North Americans, Well is in north America where you have more diversity, race wise!!

You guys technically arent a country but i'm saying, these guys are callin Tito black and sayin Puerto Rican is not a race and that he is black but to me Tito, and Lopez and Cotto are all Puerto Ricans and not black

[Thread Stealer]

Christ, what is wrong with people?

"Trinidad is not black, he is Puerto Rican"



The U.S. was not the only place that African ****** were dropped off at.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Your genes, not your skin color determs what race you are. So Miguel is Puertorrican, simple as that!!!!!

[Vasyl’s dad]

Well people are saying Trinidad is black cuz of his skin and so is Gamboa, so that would mean Margarito is white cuz of his skin according to these people, so what does that make Cotto

Mongolian

I'm a tanned skinned Dominican so I am black to?

We are a country, we have an olimpic team, ect ect. But thats another story. Well titos´s skin is black so he is black. But he is Puertorrican race wise. And Miguel is withe skined but he is Puertorrican.

they're all latino, **** people who try to put latinos in different racial categories when most are actually a mixture.

Most people dont know that Hispanics/Latino's do not represent a race.
They are mostly a trihybrid structure of races.

There are only 5 Primary Races in the World.

Asian,African, Melanesian, European, Native America

Scientists studying the DNA of 52 human groups from around the world have concluded that people belong to five principal groups corresponding to the major geographical regions of the world: Africa, Europe, Asia, Melanesia and the Americas.

Puerto Ricans Genetics

Puerto Ricans are, in descending order:

1. European/Caucasian,
2. Amerindian/Taino
3. African

A 2002 study of Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of 800 Puerto Ricans found that 61.1% had Amerindian maternal mtDNA, 26.4% African, and 12.5% Caucasian. Conversely, patrilineal input showed that 70% of all Puerto Rican males have inherited Y chromosome DNA from a male European ancestor, 20% from a male African ancestor, and fewer than 10% from a male Amerindian ancestor. This suggests that the largest components of the Puerto Rican genetic pool are European/Caucasian, Amerindian, and African, in descending order.

Mexican Genetics

Hispanic are made up of a trihybrid structure with

1. Native American
2. European
3. African.

Native American contributions ranged from 35.58% to 57.87%; in the East region the values ranged from 0% to 21.27%. An African influence was similar in both regions, ranging from 0% to 17.11%, with a tendency of increasing in the East region. These data reflect the different origins of the Hispanic populations that led to the present ones. In the West, Hispanics are mostly of Mexican origin, and in the East, they are predominantly of Cuban and Puerto Rican origin.
The effect of gene flow on Hispanic populations from different geographic regions of the United States was analyzed using six autosomal DNA markers (LDLR, GYPA, HBGG,D7S8, GC, and HLA-DQA).

Why all the goddamn race threads right now? Don't people on here ever get tired of talkin bout this kinda ****?

Definition: race (n) a human population considered distinct based on physical characteristics.

It is important to note that race is predominantly a social construct - in other words, scientists have discovered that only 2 percent of our genes are ultimately responsible for the visible differences such as skin color. Although it is not an exact science, social groups play a very important role in defining the rules of race. For example, in some cultures a light skin mulatto who is also upper class may be considered White, while in others, this same individual would classify as Black.

A lingering relic - depicting our history of legislating race - is the "one drop rule" which stipulated that a person with any amount of Black blood was to be classified as Black regardless of appearance. More recently, however, celebrities of mixed race backgrounds, such as Tiger Woods and Mariah Carey have challenged us to adopt less of a black or white approach to the concept of race.

Despite the ongoing challenges with racial classification, race nonetheless continues to hold significant social implications across the globe.
