Im not really able to distinguish between various types unless they're clearly 90% dominant Iberian, Amerindian, or black. Otherwise they just look like they could be any mix like 50-50 European/Amerindian or 50-50 European/black or 30/30/30.

Same reason why blacks, Aboriginals and Asians all look similar to some people.

Nope

Amerindian is not dominant over European Caucasian, the Mestizo phenotype depends on the mix, the most similar to the south euro are called Harnizo/Castizo.

SSA is dominant with different look Mestizo, only those with low SSA mix are confused look.

Tri-Racial looks similar to Hindus-South Asian if the mixtures are balanced.

Yes, there are Amerindian sub-races with different phenotypes. For example, tri-racial Brazilian is different from tri-racial Central American.

They don't. Latinos aren't even a race.

I doubt most of the triracials look like that. Maybe few

They do not look similar and Latino isn't a race yet. It's an identity for Latin Americans of many races living in USA.

Its not even a race; but the opus magnus of latin america (at least hispanic america) are the mestizos (people close to 50% amerindian 50% european) that are in all the subcontinent except in Uruguay and Caribbean hispanic islands.

There are some Mestizos in those countries you specifically mentioned too: Luis Suarez, for starters.

Luis Suárez is castizo.

What I meant is that he looks clearly part-Amerindian.

Well I've seen how South American members here are good at identifying Indians. They have to look different to triracials.
