Afro-South Americans

african.mapper:

The term Afro American is not widely used in South America outside academic circles. Normally Afro–Latin Americans are called Black (Spanish: negro or moreno; Portuguese: negro or preto; French: noir) and are seen as part of the general Latin demographic, especially in countries where they have a considerable presence. South Americans of African ancestry may also be denoted by the prefix Afro- plus a specific nationality. The accuracy of statistics reporting on Afro–South Americans has been questioned, especially where they are derived from census reports in which the subjects choose their own designation, because in various countries the concept of African ancestry is viewed with differing attitudes.
