The phenomenon of referring Latinos to their racial background, particularly by adding the term afro to the front of any Latino country, is becoming increasingly more common due to the perceptions and beliefs of the Western/American society and this in no way or form is reflected from the views of Latino societies. This reference which has only been recently used in mainstream information is due to many and various reasons. Partly because this is a way for the underprivileged African-descendants population to empower themselves against the dodgy two way governments of most Latino countries that is, the majority White/European descendant rich upper-class with no real middle class instead by world standards would be considered lower class poor Amerindian and African-descendant class of whom which live in their homeland Latino countries. Partly because it has become socially 'cool' to be black or of African ancestry in today's Western/American society due to increased exposure of black artists impact on the music industry and the social segregation in which some chose to display, particularly gangsta rappers in referring to themselves and other African-descendants as a double-standard term being nigga. Somehow this viewpoint has entered the minds of Latino youths with African ancestry and has been in return adopted by a percentage of these Latinos. This also could be due to many reasons like as a way to rebel or create a sense of uniqueness. There are many more reasons why the term of AfroLatino has surfaced but it should be known that this phrase in no way reflects the viewpoint of Latino culture

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Afro-Cuban, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Dave 11:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Please stop removing "Afro-" from Mariah Carey. If you feel that it is incorrect to say that, provide sources on the talk page. Thanks. --Spangineerws (háblame) 13:57, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
