There was basically a mestizo majority immediately after the independence...so, in a unique case in all the american continent, the elite ruling class was mestiza/castiza, while many of the successive immigration waves were europeans, almost all low class immigrants.
The Gauchos (cowboys) f. ex, in Argentian, Uruguay and southern Brazil, and where else? What are they? What do they fit in? Are they white, mestizo or castizo?
