I've seen this "issue" in other sites not only in youtube. What the OP says is many times true and I think is because Americans are more use to seeing White/Black mix people than White/Amerind mix. Also, they use the one drop rule more with Blacks then any other race.

BTW, Are you Dominican Bellame?

what I mean is this issue doesn't really exist in real life, mexicans are just seen as mexicans and dominicans are just seen as dominicans.

Although I do agree that on those types of forums, it's very common for people to consider mexicans who look like george lopez to be "mestizos" and dominicans who look like A-Rod to be "black". Another common pattern is that they will respect the mixed-raceness of puerto rico and cuba, while making the dr seem like the odd "black" country with has more similarities with Haiti than with the other two hispanic islands
