What is is cape verdean black?

Cape Verdean people are a mix of African, European, and Indigenous ancestry. The majority of the population identify as mestizo or mixed-race.

The experience of Cape Verdeans with systemic racism and discrimination varies depending on their individual geography and positionality within broader social structures.
