Overwhelming majority of Hispanics from Latin America are mixture of European, Indigenous/Native peoples, and sub-Saharan Africans. Hispanics differ with European whites in culture, genetics, intelligence, political preferences, and pretty much every measure upon which differences between races/peoples are measured.
I think that this has less to do with genetics/IQ than it has to do with the differences in Colonial history between the former Spanish/Portuguese colonies and British Colonies. Even if you look at the former colonies in the Caribbean which are majority black, the British ones are better. Where would you rather run a business or go to court, the Bahamas (or Barbados, Bermuda, even Jamaica) or the Dominican Republic, Cuba or heaven forbid, Haiti? If we're going to compare Latinos to Europeans then I only think that its fair to do it in the context of the new world, so basically North and South America. Obviously the two continents and their countries were all discovered, settled and developed in different ways. We're talking about a 400+ year timeline here and a lot of shit went down in those years, which has contributed to the relative success of the nations.
