Schwarzenegger apologizes about Latino blood

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger apologized Friday for saying during a closed-door meeting that Cubans and Puerto Ricans are naturally feisty and temperamental because of their combination of ?black blood? and ?Latino blood.?

LOL. I agree. And how can Latino be a combination of black and latino...what is a latino without black then? 😕

The man speaks the truth, and the truth offends people.

He was describing Cuban and Peurto Rican, not Latino in general.

Is it even accurate to say Cubans and Puerto Ricans have "black blood"? I thought they were a mix of Spanish and the natives who were there first. Hatians are black. Cubans and Puerto Ricans aren't.

I think a lot of Cubans have a good bit of african "heritage"(?) in them as well.

This all occurred during the colonial slave trade era.

Yep, I can't speak for Cuba but in Puerto Rico there are those that are more "spanish" like me (very light skinned) while there are other puerto ricans that are very dark skinned and have significant african roots with folk music and foods (as well as clothing and special days) that are based on african culture (as well as native Taino indian). Wish I knew more really (guess its time to pick up some books).
