On Espanoles

Espanoles in the caste categorization referred to Criollos. I have fixed this mistake. It did not refer to peninsulares. I have fixed this.--83.51.46.1 (talk) 18:27, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimately, the link is based on the division in Spain between Old Christians and New Christians. Those of Moorish, Jewish, Black, Indian background were lumped together not so much because of their racial background but because of their background as people who have not been Christian for various generations. This is hard to explain but is useful to disentangle the confused link between both concepts. When Spanish Americans began to become acquainted with the concept of race, the idea of purity of blood fit in well with that of race and there was a natural progression from one to the other. --Php2000 (talk) 18:19, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
