Afro-Latin Americans (Spanish: Afrolatinoamericanos), also known as Black Latin Americans[30] (Spanish: Latinoamericanos negros[a][34]), are Latin Americans of total or predominantly sub-Saharan African ancestry. Genetic studies suggest most Latin American populations have at least some level of African admixture.[35][36][37]
The term Afro-Latin American is not widely used in Latin America outside academic circles. Normally Afro–Latin Americans are called Black (Spanish: negro or moreno; Portuguese: negro or preto;[38] French: noir). Latin Americans of African ancestry may also be grouped by their specific nationality,[39]: 3–4 such as Afro-Brazilian,[40] Afro-Cuban,[41] Afro-Haitian,[41] or Afro-Mexican.
The number of Afro–Latin Americans may be underreported in official statistics, especially when derived from self-reported census data, because of negative attitudes to African ancestry in some countries.[40][34] Afro-Latinos are part of the wider African diaspora.
