At present, the black inhabitants of the Bay Islands or islanders are called Black caribs, and they are not a genetically homogeneous group, in addition to those that have a strong European phenotype, as these are the black with English crosses that are characterized by themselves in their own language as browns and the less crossed are referred to as 'colored'. The proportions of these various racial groups are not homogeneously distributed in the island territory, which reflects that there is no racial segregation in the islands. However, these are socially recognized.18
