What is a black Hispanic? hispanic + amerindian or hispanic + african.

At least here in Mexico, no one will think at themselves as black. May be the term should be hispanic non white

What about elsewhere in Latin America? For example, in Cuba, there is a large Afro-Cuban community, isn't there?

There are black people all over Latin America. During the slave trade, about 60% of slaves wound up in Portuguese and Spanish America.
