"Black African slaves arrived in the Spanish colonies in the early 16th century, where they replaced the forced labor of the indigenous population. Enslaved Africans first set foot in St. Augustine at its founding in 1565 as members of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés’s colonizing expedition."

A race is a group of people settled in a specific territory. The American race began when the first colony within the continental United States, St. Augustine, was formed. The colony comprised Spanish, African, and Native Americans. It was from these races that the first members of the American race were born.

In other words Harry, race is defined by geography. Without geography there is no race.
