[edit] History
Curasao was, before European colonization, populated by Arawak aboriginals, like most major islands in the Taino Sea. However, most of these Arawaks were wiped out by European diseases and ill-treatment under Portuguese rule. Later, the islands would come under Netherish rule, and a large population of African indentured workers were brought in. Now, people of African descent make up the plurality, followed by multi-race people, Europeans, Levantines, Orientals, and Arawaks.
