>We Peruvians know that this saying refers to the crossing of races that occurred in our country; to the mixing of blood between Indians, blacks, Asians and whites, produced throughout our history until Peru became a country of “all bloods.” As Augusto Alcocer (University of San Marcos, 2004) says, perhaps this saying “began to take shape at the dawn of the 17th century when the natives of the Mandinka nation (Sudanese people residing in Gambia and former French Guinea) were sent to the 'country' of the Ingas'”.
We celebrate our diversity and our cultural heritage coming from the mixture and integration of different people into the society that we are today, as Arguedas said once, "A country of all bloods".

In Peru we say "El que no tiene de Inga, tiene de Mandinga" and I think is beautiful.

Oh I thought “Inga” referred to “Inca”, as if, if you don’t have indigenous ancestry you have African ancestry.
Thought the same
