These figures are out of date. They are figures from the sixties, when the Portuguese administration was still separating the cape verdean society in races.
After the independence (1975), the government(s) of Cape Verde has(have) no longer made statistics concerning the people's color of skin. In a country where the miscegenation process began 500 years ago, it is impossible to set the exact separation between races.

@ TenIslands, why did you revert it back from mulatto to mestizo or "mestiços". The people of Cape Verde are NOT "Mestizos". Mestizos means people whose parents are European and Native AmerIndian ancestry or Asian ancestry. People of Chile, Argentina, Mexico, state of Hawaii, other parts of the United States, and parst of Canada have a large mestizo population ( Native AmerIndian or Asian and European ancestry) source1 source2. Mulatto means people whose parents are African and European ancestry like Halle Berry and Mariah Carrey. I highly doubt that there are any Native American Indians or Asians (Philippines and Macau) in Cape Verde.
If I don't recieve any sufficient/realistic answer on this, then I'll change it back to Mulatto.-- Pilot expert 18:54, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
