This is how the Spanish Empire actually worked: 30,000 peninsulares (Spaniards) ruling over 14 million creoles (whites born in the Americas), mestizos, etc. Revolutions led by mestizos and creoles paved the way for the egalitarianism and racial mixing we have seen since. 1/3 <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/BorealBaron/status/1841912365152965090" color="blue">x.com/BorealBaron/st…</a>
Creoles resented their second-class status but feared that a rebellion could lead to a racial war and a loss of economic privileges. It wasn’t until Napoleon destabilized Spain that they decided to follow the example of the United States.
The racial measures introduced by creole leaders like José de Francia stemmed from his resentment over the discrimination he faced from the Spanish. As a creole, he could only become a provincial representative.
You see people posting these memes for various reasons, both positive and negative, that attempt to contrast this empire with others as a "wholesome chungus racial utopia." Likewise, terms like Hispanidad and "Hispanic" weren't used until the 20th century.
These nations gained independence more than 200 years ago and have since seen a massive population explosion. Unlike the Anglosphere—where the U.S., UK, and Australia can rely on each other—those who claim such heritage in the Spanish context exist only online.
