Mexico is but one South American country that historically refused to acknowledge African ancestry as a separate ethnic group, in part because African Mexicans held three roles in Mexican history: as freemen, as slaves and as overseers of the enslaved indigenous. Refusal to acknowledge African heritage started to change in 2015 when the census contained an ethnicity question. However, ‘colorism’ - pigeonholing a person by the darkness level of their skin - remains a basis for discrimination.

“Are there Hispanic black women?”

Yes lots of them. Southern Spain was and is full of mixed African and peninsular Spaniards. Then there are millions of Cuban, Puerto Rican, Trinidad and Tobago, any of the windward islands also Spanish Afro-Caribbeans of various levels of mixed blood. Hispanic literally means of Spanish descent in language ,culture and genetics.
