I AM NOT GOING TO GO BACK AND FORTH WITH YOU ON THIS. HOWEVER, HERE ARE SOME LINKS FOR YOU DO SOME COMPLETE RESEARCHES OKAY

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_America

BY THE WAY, YOU LIED ABOUT SAYING HAITI IS NOT ON THAT LIST YOU SENT ME ON YOUR REPLY WHICH BYTHE WAYI SAID HAITIANS ARE AFRO-LATINOS.

READ THIS hsp.org/default.aspx?id=355 BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU HAVE SELECTIVE READING BY READING ONLY WHAT YOU WANT TO READ. HERE IS A QUESTION FOR YOU; PERHAPS A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

HOW DID WE EVER COME TO TERMS WITH CALLING A PERSON OF COLOR IN AMERICA "AFRICAN-AMERICAN HUH?

IS IT NOT BECAUSE IT IS SOMEONE OF AFRICAN DECENT LIVING IN AMERICA?

OKAY, THE TERM "AFRO-LATINO" IS DUE TO PARTS THAT HAITIAN ARE AFRICAN DECENTS LIVING IN LATIN AMERICA WHICH IS THE REGION (CENTRAL AMERICA).

FOR YOU TO COMPREHEND:

World FactBook Records On Ethnic/Race Categories: Data are presented in grouped form as follows:

African American - African American (Person of African Dedents or Ancestry who were brought to North and Central America having lived and bared children there for generations).

Asian - Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Asian Indian, Other Asian, Cambodian, Laotian, Vietnamese, Thai, Other Southeast Asian such as Filipino & Pacific Islander - Guamanian, Hawaiian, Samoan, Filipino, Other Pacific Islander

Latino - Mexican American, Central American and the Caribbean, South American, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Other Latino, Spanish origin and Hispanic where Romanca Language are spoken.

Middle Easterns - Jews, Arabs, Jesuits and Gentiles and many more of mediterrainian decents or ancestry.

Native American - American Indian or Alaskan Native

White - Caucasian of any European ancestries and such as Spain, Portugal, Great Britain and France includingmany more other Europen regions and entities.

Mullattoes - Other mixtures of race, breed composing of one, two or more of all or any of the given ethnics listed above.

*** THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE WITH CALLING SOMEONE HISPANIC AND LATINO.

LATINO IS MORE BASICALLY BASED ON THE GIVEN REGION, AND HISPANIC IS BASED ON EITHER OR BOTH THE LANGUAGE AND HAVING BEING DECENTS OF SPAIN.

GO BACK AGAIN AND THIS TIME MY FRIEND LEARN HOW TO READ THE WHOLE THING.

HERE IS THE SAME LINK YOU SENT ME:

lanic.utexas.edu/la/region/map/

YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE FACT THAT IN EARLY DAYS OF HAITI, IT USED TO BE REFERED TO IN WHOLE AS SAINT DOMINGUE, HISPANOLA WHICH MANY HAD CONSIDERED THE WHOLE ISLAND AS DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

MAYBE VISUAL PICTURES WILL DO IT FOR YOU SINCE YOU SEEM TO BE A BIT SLOW AND QUITE RETARDED ONTHE SUBJECT MATTER.

HERE travel-images.com/latin.html I HOPE THIS LINK MIGHT HELP YOUGET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING.

IT IS HOWEVER ALWAYS ONE'S CHOICE TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS WHATEVER THEY WISH. BEING CALLED AFRO-LATINOS DOES NOT IN ANY WAY MEAN YOU ARE FLATTERING EUROPEAN SPANISH HISPANIC PEOPLE NOR DOES IT MEAN THAT YOU ARE DENOUNCING OR DENYING YOUR AFRICAN ANCESTRY.

IT MEANS SIMPLY THAT YOU ARE USING FACTS OF THE REGION OF WHERE YOU ARE FROM AS THEY CALL IT "LATIN-AMERICA" TO PROPERLY INDENTIFY YOURSELF AS AN INDIVIDUAL HAVING BEING FROM THAT PARTICULAR REGION AND AS TO WHAT YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE RELATING YOURSELF TO OR AS GIVEN MUCH STUDIED FACTS.

PEOPLE HAVE ALLOWED PRIDE, PREJUDICE INTO THE FACTOR AND CREATED DIFFERENCES JUST SO THEY COULD INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE PEOPLE FROM BEING A CERTAIN ETHNICITY OR RACE OR WHATEVER...

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHY AND THE HOW ECUADOR, COLUMBIA AND VENEZUELA AS WELL THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC CAME ABOUT HAVING THEIR FLAGS?

I THOUGHT NOT.
