Talk:Uruguayans

"White"
In this article there is a section title as "White", when the correct term would be Hispanic and Latino being that Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese, French and even Romanians and Moldovans are many times classified as Latinos and being part of Latin Europe. Also Spaniards and Portuguese are named as Hispanics being that they come from what was Hispania, besides the fact that Hispanic means, "Hispanohablante/Spanishspeaker".

I'm Uruguayan and I have asked many of my people about how they would title themself and the great majority answer, Hispanic and/or Latino, but not White, it's more common to hear a Uruguayan call themself Afrodescendant or of Black race. Whites are the Russians, Germans, British, Danish, Finnish etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Santiagokdasilva1 (talk • contribs) 03:46, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm from Uruguay too and about 90% of the country is White. The term latino is widely used by Spanish speaking Mestizo population in other countries of America and it's associated to a cultural phenomenon that doesn't exist in Uruguay. During 31 years I lived in Uruguay, I've never seen a native not even on TV but this article claims we have 2.4 % of them. There are blacks and whites but no native communities in Uruguay. These 2.4% should be classified as mestizos but not Amerindians.--Charrua85 (talk) 15:13, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Luiz Suarez.
Suarez's picture should be in there. He's probably the most famous Uruguayan right now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.179.55.162 (talk) 23:15, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Oriental/orientales
It might be worth noting that Uruguayans are referred to in official documents as "orientales". Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 15:22, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
