Who’s “Whiter”, a Quadroon with a Euro Haplogroup or a Castizo with an Amerindian Haplogroup?

My vote is for the quadroon

Bump

Both are 75 percent White 25 percent non White so both as European/white as each other. Assuming we're on about Y haplogroups, I'd say the Quadroon since he can pass on his paternal European lineage but it's just a slight advantage.

+1

But the Castizo would blend better

If you mean YDNA haplo, which would be the most important for men. the quadroon, but slightly, because both would be 75%, if they were to be "assimilated" the quadroon would blend easier cuz of european clade. in 4 gens autossomal would be almost gone, whilst the HG would still stay strong up there.

While in the short run, castizo would blend easier in looks, also one could say amerindians have some ANE admix, making the blending easier than quadroon, but honestly it all a bit of randomness.

Silly question but let's say I agree with both you guys.

Neither are more White than each other, haplogroups are not that important in this situation imo.

In this specific situation HG aren't as important, but assuming each interbreds further with 100% Europeans for another 7 generations, both will groups of descendants will be near enough completely European by blood, around 98 percent at least, but the quadroons descendants will also be European by paternal HG (assuming a direct paternal line is kept going) whilst the Castizo's will still have the Amerindian HG. Essentially you can eventually dilute the non Euro till it's near non-existent, like these Americans with 1 percent Cherokee, but the Y dna can't be, unless one line has no male kids; that's why I give the very slight edge to the Quadroon, but 99 percent of people don't know about HG's and don't care either way.

Even though both are equally European, phenotypically a castizo would probably be “whiter”.

More like 99.8% European in 7 generations.
