South Korea vs. United States

Colombia, during the Korean War, was indeed an allied of the United States but as the main purpose was to protect the country of South Korea and Colombia entered on behalf of the United Nations, South Korea should be the named country rather than the United States. This is how it's said in the anglophone countries, just in case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pipeafcr (talk • contribs) 00:28, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Colombian cuisine

In this series of edits you seemed to have removed mention of a lot of food related subjects such as the coffee growers axis and subjects like enyucado. Please go through and restore those you have removed. Candleabracadabra (talk) 14:27, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Afro-Latin American

Regarding this edit[1] on the Afro-Latin American page, I recently did a review of most of these population figures and there were indications that the figure on the census might not be accurate - according to the Minority Rights Group (a group that regularly makes reports on minorities to worldwide governments and the UN): "This is 16% down from the government's previous estimations in 2002, which put the total Afro-descendant population at 26% and which is the figure still currently used by the United Nations. Census figures also continue to be disputed by Afro-descendant leaders such as Luis Giraldo Murillo Urritia, ex governor of the department of Choco, who claims that the Afro-Colombian population is as high as 36-40%"[2]

Given this I wasn't sure which figure to use, but eventually went with the higher CIA estimate which just as reliable, more recent, and seemed in line with the previous census and UN/independent estimates. I'm not going to insist on using the CIA figure but I thought I'd let you know in case you weren't aware that the 2005 census is generally seen as understating the real figure (presumably due to people with 3-way or Native American mixture choosing "Sin pertenencia étnica" or "Indígena" over the "Negro, mulato, afrocolombiano" option).

Hello, the figure that drew up the CIA is totally incorrect since it is based on perceptions and not in official statistics, the Colombian Government in the year 2005 census really only gave visibility to minorities such as Afro-descendants, Gypsies and Amerindians. In addition the mixture of races in Colombia had been mostly between European and Amerindian because this type of mixture was promoted during the colonial period but instead the Negroes have little mixing with other ethnic groups because they were slaves at that time but also many Europeans do not have Amerindian blood that gives them a social status lower in Colombia. Therefore blacks in Colombia does not have much genetic mixing with other ethnic groups because Blacks have been considered inferior in Colombian society by mestizos, Europeans, native Americans and other ethnic groups. There are mixtures with blacks, but they are not significant in Colombia.

The correct figure is the one made by the Colombian Government with official statistics, only CIA uses false perceptions of Colombia's population. --Theryx7 (talk) 07:53, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
