[edit] Is Portuguese not an ethnic group?

According to our own article here on Wiki (Portuguese people) Portuguese are an ethnic group native to Portugal. Thus, the name of this article should be changed. Also I've never heard of the term "Afro-Portuguese" used in any scholarly writings. The article should definitely be moved to a better name.

What do you propose (the term Negros Portugueses, by the way, is used in academic sources)? And why do you believe the article is POV? The Ogre (talk) 19:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

That's my point. The term "Afro-Protuguese" is not used and is made up by whoever started this article. The title is someone's POV so that's why I put the tag there.
