Racist terminology

Hey so 'miscegenation' is a deprecated racist term, but it's used in its original (explicitly racist) sense here. Article could use serious cleanup / rewriting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.85.94 (talk) 15:10, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Many mulattoes became landowners and enjoyed privileges by being estate owners, often to the detriment of the natives. Several places were populated with mulatto families as they settled in prosperous neighborhoods, like the neighborhood of Angel in La Trinidad of Sonsonate, and neighborhoods in San Vicente, San Miguel, and San Salvador."

It's a rather fanciful notion to assert that descendants of African slaves, whether mixed or not, were ever in a more favorable or higher social standing than the indigenous population given that laws were eventually passed to cease the enslavement of the native population only for their labor to be replaced by the approved importation of African slaves. This decision in and of itself reinforces and backs up that indigenous lives were perceived to be of a higher value and priority than African ones.

Especially in countries where African slaves comprised just a tiny percentage of the overall population compared to a much larger pool of people of native ancestry such as in Mexico and El Salvador.

Although there is a citation provided for this claim, not all articles are created equal as some are of a very dubious academic nature and can be more accurately described as mere conjecture of an unqualified author rather than an expert’s comments based on actual reliable sources.

There are plenty of sources that cite that African slaves and their descendants have usually, if not always, being at the bottom of social hierarchy across Latin America, with a few exceptions here and there.

Confusing meaning

What does this mean? The April 1, 1528 arrived an African with his tribal costume yet. Robert (talk) 17:56, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
