Amazing Study Reveals male European settlers mated with native and African women, and slaughtered the men

What is up with all these studies lately that just repeat what Latin American peoples have been saying all along? I guess they serve some purpose, like us being able to say: See, I told you so.

The latest study, published in the Public Library of Science Genetics journal reveals:
European colonisation of South America resulted in a dramatic shift from a native American population to a largely mixed one, a genetic study has shown.The international team of researchers wrote: "The history of Latin America has entailed a complex process of population mixture between natives and recent immigrants across a vast geographic region.
"Few details are known about this process or about how it shaped the genetic make-up of Latin American populations."
While we never understand the genetic processes that caused the mestisaje that forms a huge part of Latino culture, I'm sure a few people could tell you about the historical process (and without using the word "mate" like they did in the BBC article, as if the indigenous and African women were mere animals not victims of rape).

THANK YOU! More white washing off history by BBC and other white owned media to romanticize this brutal past.
