interesting article (and videos) on Blackness and race relations in the Latino community, this could serve for a reason folks prefer one racial group over another.

Money, education, class -- and of course straight hair -- can make dark-skinned Dominicans be perceived as more "white," she said. Many black Dominicans here say they never knew they were black -- until they visited the United States.

In a mess up kind of way, this part of the article TW posted made me chuckle. If someone is ever confused about what they are, leave it to the USA to let you know (even though we don't know ish - SMH)

But in general, that article made me sad. Wow.

About 2 years ago, there was a similar issue in Argentina who say there are no Black people in their country. Everyone knows that is untrue, but, that is the reality of things...
