Dominican follow up

A good follow up post on the subject. A documentary on "latin-America's" African roots. Two issues I have with the trailer:

1) While many of the Indigenous people were killed, they were not simply wiped out as we know it here in the States even though they are made to be invisible.

2) object to referring to Africans as "Latinos/as." as was done in the trailer. I know what they mean but my previous post underscores why I don't like calling African people anything other than.
