That’s a complicated question I don’t have a good answer for. There is definitely a racial component to it though.

  And which race would Latino represent?

    If you're Latino you are much much more likely to be mestizo. Which basically means it's a confusing mix of Spanish, indigenous american, and African. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mestizo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mestizo And I'm not sure it's easy to tell to what degree/how much of a mixture you are.

      Judging by [0], the whites are most prevalent non mixed ethnicity in South America and if you also consider that Mestizos and Mulatos are half white that also means that means that large majority of the population is white to some degree.

        Two things 1) if the first table is self identified data I would strongly expect it to underrepresent how many people are mixed. Unless you have gotten genetic testing, it’s hard to know like I mentioned. And there is social pressure to identify as white. 2) Even then, whites are still pretty much a minority in most countries, especially the ones that have more significant immigration to the US.
