Some of the info in this article is distinctly not NPOV (e.g., " Even though they are treated wrongly they overcome prejudice") and I wonder about some of the other statements, for example
- All most all Puerto Ricans have some African lineage. The actual racial statictics of Puerto Rico are not known (this is contradictory)
and
- an additional 11% are pure blacks
apart from the fact that racial purity is a fiction, how can one be certain (given the way slaves were treated, given the fact that few people know exactly who their ancestors were) that most of these people have no non-African ancestry in the time they have been in Latin America?

- Yes this article is far from good. It may have even been a cut and paste from another webpage, as it had no wiki formatting before I got to it. If you can verify the copyvio, feel free to delete it. Otherwise, maybe we should add a POV disputed tag to it, since I don't know the source of the info. - Taxman 03:01, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
Checked some of the relevant web pages, and the numbers look ok (if you substitute "predominantly African ancestry" for "pure black". It's probably fixable. I can only find exact phrases on sites that take their content from Wikipedia, and looking at the edit history it looks written rather than copied. I'll add the "disputed" tag and then figure out how to clean it up. Guettarda 13:58, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
