I would love to see a Latin American version of this pic. Do they depict mixed races? The only mixed race image on this picture is the Filipino. And, yeah, it's wild. Reply to this

The paintings: they are obsessed mostly with mixed races. They want to codify them. This was started in the colonial period, by the Spaniards and the Portuguese. There are many names for mixtures, e.g. "running donkey" (gray-brown-white blur) ... etc. I've seen paintings in Cusco of IR weddings ... right now I have in my hand a book, "La pintura de castas," by Ilona Katzew, Yale UP, with examples of mixed race portraits from 18th century Mexico. The most standard poster is with all these little squares, each one bearing a different portrait, and a label naming that particular mixture. Reply to this
Wild. I've seen many pictures like this from Latin America, but never a U.S. one.
Thanks for revealing it!!!
