Latin America

Demographics
     Latin America has a very diverse population with many ethnic groups and different ancestries. Since the 16th century a large number of Iberian colonists left for Latin America: the Portuguese to Brazil and the Spaniards to the rest of the region. An intensive race mixing between the Europeans and the Amerindians occurred and their descendants (known as mestizos) make up the majority of the population in several Latin American countries, such as Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, & Honduras. Starting in the late 16th century, a large number of African slaves were brought to Latin America, the majority of whom were sent to the Caribbean and Brazil. Nowadays, Blacks make up the majority of the population in most Caribbean countries. Many of the African slaves in Latin America mixed with the Europeans and their descendants (known as Mulattoes) make up the majority of the population in some countries, such as the Dominican Republic, and large percentages in Brazil, Colombia, etc. Mixes between the Blacks and Amerindians also occurred, and their descendants are known as Zambos. Many Latin American countries also have a substantial tri-racial population, which ancestry is a mix of Amerindians, Whites and Blacks.This racial diversity has profoundly influenced religion, music, and politics. This opaque cultural heritage is (arguably improperly) called Latin or Latino in United States' English. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_American_culture#Demographics )
     In my opinion, I could see this racial interaction as a problem. Some races might think they are more superior than others, have different like and wants for the government, different culture, and different religious beliefs. They all come from different countries, and if the countries their ancestors are from are in dispute, then possible the countries in Latin America could eventually be in despite.

Language

Spanish is the predominant language in the majority of the countries. Portuguese is spoken primarily in Brazil, where it is both the official and the national language. French is also spoken in smaller countries, in the Caribbean, and French Guiana.

Religion

The primary religion throughout Latin America is Christianity, mostly Roman Catholicism. Latin America, and in particular Brazil, are active in developing the quasi-socialist Roman Catholic movement known as Liberation Theology. Practitioners of the Protestant, Pentecostal, Evangelical, Mormon, Buddhist, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Bahá'í, and indigenous denominations and religions exist. Various Afro-Latin American traditions, such as Santería, and Macumba, a tribal-voodoo religion, are also practiced. Evangelicalism in particular is increasing in popularity.
