Answer:

Criollos

Step-by-step explanation:

During the colonial period in America, there was a hierarchy established in Spanish and Portuguese colonies in which the people that were born there with parents from Spain or Portugal were considered to be below people born in Europe and they were called criollos. However, they were considered to be over people with mixed descend, Amerindians and enslaved Africans. According to this, the answer is that social hierarchies dictated in Spanish and Portuguese colonies that migrants born in Europe were peninsulares and people born in the Americas of Iberian parents were called criollos.
