en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taíno >The Taíno were an indigenous people of the Caribbean. >The Taíno were the first New World peoples to be encountered by Christopher Columbus during his 1492 voyage. >Frank Moya Pons, a Dominican historian, documented that Spanish colonists intermarried with Taíno women. Over time, some of their mixed descendants intermarried with Africans, creating a tri-racial Creole culture. 1514 census records reveal that 40% of Spanish men on the island of Hispaniola had Taíno wives.
Same with portuguese, anglos mixed much less it seems. What would compel strong white men to mix with the natives? Why didnt they bring their families to settle?
My theory: their catholic faith and the implicit egalitarianism that it carries. See later Jesuit expeditions. More simple theory: just horniness, men would fuck whatever if nothing else available
that's an interesting question user According to what I've heard it varied quite a bit Most Catholic colonies widely interbred with the natives, this included "new France" (canada and the mid section of the United States) and much of Central/South America Protestent colonizers (like the British) did not interbreed, and as a rule ethnically cleansed the areas they lived in. For example, the Mi'Kmaq natives in Nova Scotia were removed after Canada was taken over by the British and sent to Louisiana to become what we now call "Cajuns"

My theory - some people are genetically predisposed not to inbreed, so they look for genetic diversity. That's why opposites attract. And why half-casts are attractive as hell.
Nolan Rogers
These were their options. Sailors are not exactly the cream of the crop. People who have options don't sign up to go drown at sea. When presented with the opportunity of a good looking wife, they took it.
Xavier Collins
This is a shill.
Justin Allen
Europeans were all African, until whites from out of nowhere harassed them all out. It sounds unbelievable, but it happened.
It was the most common with the Portuguese they even had laws recognizing half-castes as full citizens with equal rights. No wonder they could never compete with the other European powers in the New World.
Christian Cooper
It's quite simple, the island women fucked like animals while their continental cousins were far more reserved. Plus why not marry a woman you conquered? It's quite optimal.
Justin Sanders
it wasnt just sailors mixing, also why would they choose amerindian wife over a spanish one, only thing i can think of is either the novelty or they were pushed into it by their clergy authorities
Evan King
WE
Austin Cooper
that pic's gotta be a joke you dont marry the conquered you rape, kill or at least enslave them, thats what all other civs did
Michael Miller
Just re-read my previous statement.
Lucas Garcia
And change your flag while you're at it. It looks like a knock-off of mine. The sun is a star, even.
>why would they choose amerindian wife over a spanish one I'm claiming ignorance here, but just how commonly were women part of the settling effort? Don't think there were that many in the early decades but have no data on this. If you're coloniser, unless you brought your family, you are either unmarried and will go for the locals or dgaf because the wife is half a world away and go for the locals
John Bailey
Finnish settlers in North America mixed with natives quite a lot.
Tons of male soliders + no European women = settle for the native women
Julian Young
We're still here
Angel Campbell
There were competing theories about natives from influential Europeans during the early colonisation period, particularly with the discovery of the Americas. Some Christians circulated writing about equality. Others wrote that scientifically, natives were inferior, though it often served a commercial purpose to dehumanise natives so that it became okay to enslave them. Many people, obviously, still believe that natives are inferior. And some natives believe that Europeans are at least 1% neanderthal.

An old guy I knew gave a toast once: >Here's to Necessity - the Mother of Invention, and the Father of Half-breeds....

>1. Look out your window >2. Look at South America >3. Look at everywhere else the Spanish landed and stuck their penises
Samuel Taylor
Miscegenation was illegal in the US until the 1960s amnongst blacks but between whites and natives it’s always been really common even if officially its been looked down upon. Look at Oklahoma for example
Evan Collins
For the same motivates Asian women are preferred to white ones.
Elijah Nelson
Why didn’t we bleach them one last time
Isaiah Gutierrez
You're a part Maori mutt
Austin Powell
Spaniards and Portuguese sent soldiers and sailors to enslave local populations, Anglos sent families to colonise and populate areas. Spaniards treated the new world like something just to take from, Anglos treated as a place to build and expand. It’s a different mindset.
Alexander Miller
>nature made the human species one of the most genetically diverging and diverse species, with dozens of different races and over a thousand different ethnic groups >somehow nature also wants us to ruin this diversity by mixing
Jonathan Barnes
>What would compel strong white men to mix with the natives?
You probably wouldn't understand. It isn't something a weakling mutt with no testosterone or any accomplishments in his life could understand.
It's like... men get a boner and fuck the whores of the defeated tribes in the pussy. Which then creates a race of mutt warriors at their service.
And then they keep fucking the mutts in the pussy again each time they get a boner...
It's somethign really, really hard to make you understand, user.
Brody Wright
Anglos didn't interbreed because they brought white women with them. The fact that the territories they settled were pretty much empty also helped.
Basically, you fuckers arrived late to the game but you chose the best land and chose to actually colonise it in a patrician way.
>But only in North America and Australia, though.
Isaiah Roberts
The clergy authorities just offered "license", they were not the cause.
There were no white women enough to go around. The people who were to go to the Americas more often than not had no acess to white women.
It was pretty clear to them that they were better fucking the natives. And if they rose to an exhalted position they could then get a white woman.
Their role was to whiten the natives to creat a medium range class of administrators and to break the chances of the natives rebelling successfully.
Why don't you read your own fucking History, mutt?
Landon Lee
Only in places where different races are close did they mix. Thats why im blonde and have blue eyes with 10% East Asian admixture. Or why Southern Europeans look like sand niggers.
