Mayans? Today's Hispanics are descendants of the Mayans and the indians and the blacks.

"Hispanics imported over 90% of the blacks to the new world." No. "It is estimated that more than half of the slave trade took place during the 18th century, with the British, Portuguese and French being the main carriers of nine out of ten slaves abducted from Africa. [43] The British were the biggest transporters of slaves across the Atlantic during the 18th century." [44 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade "Britain followed in the footsteps of the Portuguese in voyaging to the west coast of Africa and enslaving Africans. The British participation in what has come to be called the 'nefarious trade' was begun by Sir John Hawkins with the support and investment of Elizabeth I in 1573. ( 15) By fair means and foul, Britain outwitted its European rivals and became the premier trader in the enslaved from the seventeenth century onwards, and retained this position till 1807. Britain supplied enslaved African women, men and children to all European colonies in the Americas." history.ac.uk
