What's even more strange (for Americans) is that demographically, the large majorities of Hispanics are not mixed with Black peoples.

Perhaps, most are not significantly mixed with blacks, but I'd wager that a fairly great percentage have slightly detectable African admix, based on certain structure graphs, studies and 23andme results.

In any case, the demography of Latin America is not the same at all that the demography of Hispanics in the U.S. In the last group there is a predominant presence of Mexicans and Caribbeans. But in Latin America Mexicans are only 1 in 6 Latinos, and Caribbeans are only 1 in 20 Latinos!!

That seems about right. I'd say my area has mostly Central American Latinos.
