Limpieza de sangre (Spanish:[limˈpjeθaðeˈsaŋɡɾe]), also known as limpeza de sangue (Portuguese:[lĩˈpezɐðɨˈsɐ̃ɡɨ], Galician:[limˈpeθɐðɪˈsaŋɡɪ]) or neteja de sang (Catalan:[nəˈtɛʒəðəˈsaŋ]), literally "cleanliness of blood" and meaning "blood purity", was a racially discriminatory term used in the Spanish and Portuguese Empires during the early modern period to refer to those who were considered to be Old Christians by virtue of not having Muslim, Jewish, Romani, or Agote ancestors.[1] In both empires, the term played a major role in discrimination against suspected crypto-Jews or crypto-Muslims. Over the years it manifested into law which excluded New Christians from almost every part of society. In Spain's American colonies, it helped define the casta system and was expanded to include those who were not of indigenous or African descent.
