Motto on Chile page
Hi Nathaniel,
I hope you don't object to my reverting your translation of the motto too much, but there was some discussion previously on that page over what was the best way to translate that motto and the general consenus was "By reason or by force" although what you had put might be literally correct. I have a great affection for Lima and Peru. I was previously married to a Peruvian for many years and I lived in Rimac (Ciudad y Campo) for some months and I know Arequipa, Huancayo, La Merced, Satipo and Juaja. I started articles Mantaro Valley, Casma Valley and have done quite a bit of editing on Peruvian Cuisine. I am now living in Concepcion in Chile.

Sumac & Flórez
For both Sumac and Flórez, THEIR OWN identity was the PRIME FACTOR. Only THEN was phenotype also a contributing factor, which complimented their identity. In Perú, where around 37% are mestizo, and 45% are Amerindian, people like Flórez that have a slight non-European admixture (in his case Afro-peruvian admixture) are the one that are classified and classify themselves as being the white population of Perú (15% of the population).
If you insist on placing Flórez as a mixed race Peruvian, which at the end of the day I admit he is (although the admixture is small), then I suggest you place him as an example on the Mulatto article. But as I said, for all puroses, in Perú, Fl+rez and people like him (with slight non-European admixture) are that country's whites. If not, then Perú has no whites.
