the first one is correct, peninsulares were indeed born spaniards who held important positions and same with milanos being on the lowest rung on the social ladder and were typically slaves, creoles were spanish because they were born in spain, tho mestizo people from usa were generally american or hispanic, and could even be mixed with black, not much spanish and indian and native people generally had to work for their money but still never received a whole bunch. hope this helps!
