tpiah01:
zambo is not really a pc term. . . . . . . . . . . . mixed race is what is used now . . . . . . . . .

in addition, i wonder if zambo and sambo are from the same root or not.

That is in the United States tpiah01, but in Latin America they have they own rules in regards to classifying people. Again each country is different due to their population in regards to racial categorizing people.


For example if a country is predominately of native american, and with some Europeans, hence they are going to use their own methods of categorizing people.


Likewise if a country has a mainly Afro descendant and European, again they will use their own methods in Cateogorizing people.



Again, if a population has a population of all races again they will use their own method of categorizing people.



For example Paraguay which is a country that consist mainly of Native American and Europeans, and the inhabitants of the country speaks both Guarani which is a native American language and Spanish, and sometimes a mixture of both.

This is people in Paraguay are graduating as professors of the Guarani language.

According to the most recent genealogical testing the average Dominican is estimated to be 58.1% European, 35.2% African, and 6.4% Amerindian overall.[113][114]

Genetic studies of Mitochondrial DNA (MtDNA), which assesses the DNA inherited by female line, found in a 21st-century study that the Dominican Republic’s population racial admixture is primarily European and African, but there is also a noticeable Taíno element in the population.[39] Based on MtDNA tests, approximately 15% of Dominicans are descended in strict female line to Taíno women. Another 15% have Euro-MENA genes, whereas most of the Dominican population, 70%, have MtDNA Maternal side of African origin, meaning that the majority of the Dominican population is descended from unions of European men with African women

Again it depends on the country, because every country in that region has their own rules according to culture, independent of the United States.

zambo and sambo

Zambo (Spanish: [ˈθambo] or [ˈsambo]) or cafuzo (Portuguese: [kɐˈfuzu]) are racial terms used in the Spanish and Portuguese Empires and occasionally today to identify individuals in the Americas who are of mixed African and Amerindian ancestry (the analogous English term, considered a slur, is sambo). Historically, the racial cross between African slaves and Amerindians was referred to as a "zambaggoa", then "zambo", then "sambo". In the United States, the word "sambo" is thought to refer to the racial cross between a black slave and a white person.

The meaning of the term "sambo" however is contested in North America, where other etymologies have been proposed. The word most likely originated from one of the Romance languages, or Latin and its direct descendants. The feminine word is zamba (not to be confused with the Argentine Zamba folk dance, although there is some relationship in the concept).

Under the casta system of Spanish colonial America, the term originally applied to the children of one African and one Amerindian parent, or the children of two zambo parents. During this period, a myriad of other terms denoted individuals of African/Amerindian ancestry in ratios smaller or greater than the 50:50 of zambos: cambujo (zambo/Amerindian mixture) for example. Today, zambo refers to all people with significant amounts of both African and Amerindian ancestry, though it is frequently considered pejorative.
