Every video I see of Cuba looks like Africa.
Why are Cubans so white genetically?

Cuba used to be very white, but after the revolution most of those whites moved to Florida. Blacks, mulatos and some whites stayed in the island.
The majority of genetic studies only take samples from Cubans in Florida.
Where are the samples from? Selection bias could be a big factor if they're from consumer genomics. For instance, the American Cuban diaspora is probably whiter than the average Cuban, and they may comprise a disproportionate share of the data.
Yeah i saw vid of Cuban girl from florida who took dna test and got 98% iberian
Yeah but white Cubans in America are “white”, like Marco Rubio.
Some Cubans look really white, like this woman, she's very famous in all Latin America, she hosts a talk show in Telemundo.
I read that present day Cuba is around 62-70% Afro.Can't confirm cause never been there tb.h
sounds like bullshit desu. it's probably majority mestizo/mulatto
This sounds about right.
Also Cameron Diaz.
I am curious though, Eva Mendes looks like a mestizo but she's Cuban, how did that happen? Same with Gloria Estefan.
cuba is still overwhelmingly white, like 60% of the population identifies as white and there is no reason to believe they are any different from the white cubans in florida
there was never much intermarrying in cuba, to this day cuban blacks and whites are pretty "pure", and there are not many self identified mulattos
They are not. Every Cuban is really black. Only white ones were the ones rich and smart enough to come to America
>Eva Mendes looks like a mestizo but she's Cuban
She might be like 15-20% African tops. At that level of admixture you don't look neither white nor black, but surprisingly mestizo despite not having a drop on injun blood in your system
>I am curious though, Eva Mendes looks like a mestizo but she's Cuban, how did that happen? Same with Gloria Estefan.
probably Canarian or Andalucian. Also the word you're looking for to describe Eva Mendes is castizo as even as her skin looks fairly tan it's more likely that she's beyond 60% european DNA.
White Cubans ran away to America after the revolution because they were the descendants of the former slave masters who were exploiting the masses.
I've seen mestizos and she looks like one. I mean I guess she could be castizo as well but she'd be pretty dark for one and her facial features look less white than a definite castizo like Jessica Alba.
Interesting, thanks.
I believe it's lower than that to be honest. I mean there are mixed reviews all over the place
"Cuba's population is very multiethnic and intermarriage between many groups is widespread. Accurate figures on Cuba's demographics are hard to come by. The University of Miami's Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies found that 62% of the population is black while the official 2002 census found 65% were white. An autosomal study in 2014, however, found Cuba's genetic ancestry is 72% European, 20% African and 8% native American."
Cameron Diaz is different, her mom was white
All of the Caribbean is overwhelmingly black.
Most Cubans in the US are overwhelmingly black.
European-Americans need to go full ethno-nationalist fascism if they want to keep their standard of living.

Official census says 62% white and 30% mulatto
My cousin visited Havana the last year and told me that most Cubans are mulatos, there are some whites but they're very tanned. People like William Levy or Ana de Armas are almost unexistent.
she's only famous because she's white
Can confirm. I am a proud black man.
This desu, obviously the upper classes, similar to what happens in most of Lattin America, were the Batista supporters who fled the revolution in numbers. Even so there's plenty of darkish Cubanos in Florida, they tend to be not as visible because of social stratification and most americans would likely mistake them for Puerto Ricans/Dominicans at a glance anyway.
One white guy in the middle.
I think this samples are from Latinos in the states. Most likely not representative of the actual countries.
Do people still think Hispanic and Latino are racial groups?
Fucking idiots
Rubio would easily blend in in Spain
If I remember right, the spanish went full retard mode and wiped out all the natives fairly quickly.
Spaniards usually killed the natives unless the area was densely populated, which meant they could just tax and convert them instead
The percentages look the same. Cubans are whiter than Argentines in that study.
