“Afro-Latino”

Since I live in Panama, what the hell is an “Afro-Latino?”

I await your explanation before I pop.

Like many or most Cubans, Puerto Ricans and Brazilians. Spanish speaking, mixed race, black and native Indio. Mestizo.

Colmado_Naranja is a self described seller/collector of old
Dominican and Cuban money.

From Wikipedia: “According to a study by the CUNY Dominican Studies Institute, about 90% of the contemporary Dominican population has African ancestry.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominican_Republic
http://www.jstor.org/pss/2634170

In the DR, Colmados are neighborhood grocery stores. The image provided in the seller profile is of a colmado (store). They are all over the place. I used to live there.

The name is just orange convenience store. This is the way Colmado is used in the Dominican Republic.
