The quoted figure for Puerto Rico (46%) is radically different to that on the Puerto Rico article (12.4%). I note also that it's unsourced. FrFintonStack ( talk) 02:36, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
I've removed the gallery in the infobox per WP:NOETHNICGALLERIES but, in doing so, it came to my attention that there was an under-representation of Afro-Americans from Hispanic/Latin America, as well as Canada.
While there are copious "lists of African Americans" (as in those in the U.S.: as politicians, scientists, etc.), there's doesn't appear to be anything parallel for other parts of the Americas. Just as a thought, perhaps such lists should be developed. -- Iryna Harpy ( talk) 05:17, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Number 5 7 12:59, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Afro-American peoples of the Americas → African diaspora in the Americas – The current title is rather clunky, and potentially misleading. It is certainly not a likely search term. In common use, the descriptor "Afro-American" is restricted to inhabitants of the United States, rather than the Americas as a whole. The term " African diaspora", however, is unambiguous, and seems much more natural. IgnorantArmies (talk) 15:21, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
As per Afro Latin Americans, its more than a million not 100,000. Asilah1981 ( talk) 13:42, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
Iryna Harpy in Latin America, Moreno is used for people with visible Black African ancestry - it does not refer to having dark skin or hair as the Spanish word means literally. The term negro is mildly offensive and perhaps reserved for someone who really feels he is solely African in origin, which is rare in the Americas anyways. Barack Obama would most certainly self-identify as Moreno in Venezuela. Cultural perception of who is and is not black seems to really distort these figures. Asilah1981 ( talk) 07:21, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
Hmmm, well not to worry Iryna Harpy I don't believe in this white-washing concept and find it quite rooted in U.S biases. Thing is there are millions of people in the Americas, Europe and MENA region who have some level of African Ancestry but that does not make them part of a diaspora unless they self identify as such. The issue is whether self-identifying as Moreno implies acknowledgment of African ancestry or not. I thought it did, since I have always seen Moreno used as a euphemism for "black" in the Spanish Caribbean. But perhaps I am mistaken. In any case 900,000 seems about right to me.

I came across this today. This is not my area of expertise, & I thought someone might want to weave it into the article.
