What are casta paintings?

Casta is a term which means "lineage" in Spanish and has been interpreted by certain historians during the 20th century to describe mixed-race individuals in Spanish America, resulting from unions of Spaniards, Amerindians, and Africans

Explanation:

Casta is a term which means "lineage" in Spanish and Portuguese and has historically been used as a racial and social identifier. In the context of the Spanish Empire in the Americas it also refers to a now discredited 20th century theoretical framework which postulated that colonial society operated under a hierarchical race-based "caste system". From the outset, colonial Spanish America resulted in widespread intermarriage between from unions of Spaniards, Amerindians and Africans . Basic mixed-race categories that appeared in official colonial documentation were mestizo, generally offspring of a Spaniard and an indigenous person; and mulato, offspring of a Spaniard and a black African. There were a plethora of terms for mixed-race persons of indigenous and African ancestry used in 18th-century casta paintings yet they are not known to have been widely used officially or unofficially in the Spanish Empire.

wow this is going to be a long one

cats shouldn't be kept inside their whole life they should be out in nature in the fresh air but because of our technology advances it has become unsafe for our furry friend to be outside in the city's, because they could be hit by vehicles. in city's yes i agree being inside isn't the worse thing, but if you live somewhere rural you should let your cats outside, yes some animals hunt cats but i don't think cats should be kept inside confined to such a small space.

btw this is my opinion
