I saw a special on this with the same host in Mexico last week. He said in america if u have 1 drop of blood your considered BLACK. In Mexico if the same rule applied, every mexican would be BLACK! <-- More slaves were taken into Mexico and Peru, than the USA! And instantly the population began mixing.

U can find the others via google.. Brazil, Cuba..

Africa
Portuguese Africa

through the 16th century.
While the Portuguese may have originally reserved the term crioulo for people of strictly European descent, the crioulo population came to be dominated by numerous people of mixed Portuguese and African ancestry. This mixing happened relatively quickly in most Portuguese colonies of the time. The growth of a mixed population was due to both the scarcity of Portuguese-born women in the settlements, and to the Portuguese Crown policy of encouraging mixed marriages in the colonies to create more stable populations.

The crioulos of mixed Portuguese and African descent eventually gave rise to several major ethnic groups in Africa
