How did Venezuela end up being a mostly triracial nation?

[Flavio]

Venezuela is 60 percent European on average, much more than Mexico, which is around 35 or 40 percent

[Tooting Carmen]

Thing is, with the only exception of Peru and Bolivia, and maybe Ecuador; any other south american country do have more european contribution than Mexico. And anyone who has traveled a little bit around the area knows it.

Presumably the Guianas are less Euro than Mexico too? But I know what you mean. Anyway, in answer to the OP, I think Venezuela is more Triracial and less Mestizo when compared to Colombia due to the settlement patterns - nowhere in Venezuela saw such a high concentration of Blacks (or Griffes) as did Choco, Buenaventura and to an extent Cartagena de Indias.

And Guatemala, Honduras

They're in Central America. But while we're at it, El Salvador and Nicaragua are also less Euro than Mexico.

He seems to change his mind everyday lol nothing more pathetic than a man who lacks consistency.

I think the answer is pretty obvious:

This exactly. A much greater percentage of Venezuela is located along the coast of the Atlantic from whence slaves were brought. Colombia is split between Atlantic and Pacific and therefore closer to a country like Mexico in terms of demographics.

That doesn't fully explain the disparity though - after all, there are actually more pure/quasi-pure Blacks along Colombia's Pacific Coast than Caribbean Coast.

Well I said SOUTH AMERICAN. I don't pretend to be a wiseass like our californian residents here.

Méjico, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador are the same.

The French Guiana is 45% European, so is whiter than Mexico (35-40% average)

Omg, did you just mention Cartagena in the same sentence as Choco and Buenaventura? Not even close, Cartagena is not nearly as black.
