@Nerv - VAyes and the caste system clearly favors those of European descent.

@ExternalPepsi there are definitely white Mexicans. If you watch mexican TV with the sound off about 80% of the shows you would think were made in America or Europe. The people you think of as Mexicans are basically not even allowed on TV. White people run Mexico.

@Nerv - VA They're a small minority though. The people I think of as Mexicans are your average Mexican.

Here are a few interesting maps.

@ExternalPepsiyeah because white Mexicans have no reason to leave Mexico.

They’re not sending their best.

I agree just saying the ruling class you probably couldn’t differentiate in a line up from white Americans.@ExternalPepsi

There are plenty of very white looking ones that are still very Mexican

Mexico’s just very thoroughly mixed.

Mexican as in citizens but clearly of European heritage.

@Nerv - VA Yeah probs not

Surely some exist in Brazil as well considering Portuguese influence.

There are tons in Brazil

How many “white Mexicans” insist on being minorities though?

Yea there’s a lot of Italians and germans in Brazil.

Jorge Ramos is clearly white, but makes his living on attacking this country’s white majority.

Brazil is very interesting. There are people who are lighter skinned than I am I’ve met. Then there are dark blacks

Southern Brazil is very white

It’s the passport most used in fraud because of the diversity

Brazil is the same demographic situation as us, only a few more decades ahead.

Yes ^

Argentina has a pretty strong white majority though, from what I’ve read.

Very much

With very little native presence, and almost no blacks.

I go down there with my fiancé for polo. All white.

Outside of the cities at least

Which can be more mixed

@Alexander Pechorin What do the percentages look like?

Well I don’t spend much time in Buenos, which is mixed. The ranches and stuff we visit are nearly 100% white. They look like Germans who have Spanish names

Although, keep in mind, I think “white” as a category is very loose in Latin America and includes middle easterners of all varieties and people who are like a quarter non white.

It can be very easy to get an isolated picture. SA countries are very segregated, including Argentina

Our developer team is all Uruguay based. A few of them moved to Austin and I flew out to see them. Probably half of them looked like me.

Didn't expect that from Brazil

I was under the impression that Argentina is majority white. Not sure where the 30% came from

Stan Lee died

@ThisIsChris I've argued for that in the past

@TMatthews DNA studies show 75% European
