That's a great question: Afro-Latinos in the U.S. often start identifying more as Black Americans over generations. Typically, by the second or third generation, as they become more integrated into American society, they might shift their identity. This change is influenced by some things such as: Generational Status: The first generation maintains strong ties to their heritage. The second generation balances between both cultures, while the third generation tends to identify more with mainstream American identities. Language: Losing the ability to speak Spanish often marks a shift towards assimilation into broader American culture. Cultural Assimilation: Over time, Afro-Latinos adopt American norms and values, and shared racial experiences with Black Americans can strengthen this identification. So, by the second or third generation, especially if Spanish is no longer spoken, Afro-Latinos may increasingly identify as Black Americans. I hope that helped.

Usually the ability to not speak Spanish is with the 3rd generation. These children do not want to be thought of as "different", so they shy away from Spanish.

​@@afro-latinateacher3336 Thanks . So the would apply to the euro Latinos .the second and third generation will merge with white population. Then mixed race Latino, would they stay identifying Latinos or mixed race Americans?

​@@sharonkaysnowton I don't speak Spanish well , because I learned English first from school. But for me English was more easier to understand and the best tv shows were in English. When they showed the Spanish dubbed shows , it wasn't the same for me..

@@user-gu8fg7ft5b It depends on the child and his/her influences. If you are with a group, you "assimilate" and ecome part of the group. It is just you want to be "Americanized".
