Is Costa Rica really white?

[Carlito's Way]

like us lol

dominicans in america come from the whitest regions too

but thats due to classism, the higher classes will migrate more due to easier access to documentation and visas as well as to get away from the struggles and curroption of our homeland

same with mexicans hahaha

Self reported, my friend.

I read in Encyclopedia Britannica and other sources that the Central American country of Costa Rica has a white majority of up to 80%. Is it true that Costa Ricans are mostly European?

You can always use youtube to find out.

That depend of your conception of white. If yiu consider harnizos and castizos white. Costa Rica was pretty white until the 80's. But if you don't consider those white, it's probably that less than 5% were white. In other words, Costa Rica never was white.

Costa Rica until the 80's was of harnizo and castizo(and some purely whites)majority. Those groups compress between the 77-82% of countries population. After the 80's one of our president decide to open borders to Nicaragua. Nicaragua is a country with indoamerindian majority people with Sub Saharan Africa DNA as well. Most of our nicaraguan inmigration is poor, have a lot of kids and depend of our welfare. Most of them come steal State's lands and build "tugurios" and "precarios", a type of poor houses that are made with cans and bad wood.(that explain why in the past our poor population was predominanly european, but now looks like nicaraguan population). Another element that decrease our population of white skinned people was the internal migration of people of the other three province(that are the less european). Limón, Guanacaste and Puntarenas. (Note: the less european province have less population and the most european countries have more population).
The last element is that nicaraguan inmigrants and descendants have a lot of kids while the ethnic ticos (of predominantly european majority with some mestizos, mulatos and blacks) are not having nothing (the same story that happen in white countries and their not white inmigrants). Now we are equal or less white that other countries like Chile and Paraguay.

Most of our european contribution was of regions of Spain like Galicia, Asturias, Castilla y León and País Vasco. Most of the spaniards inmigrants that build Costa Rica were poorly farmers and they mix with colonial mestizos and mulatos to create the Costa Rica that exist before 80's.

-This explain why we were a secure country, with high IQ in comparission to our central american neighborhoods, the less problematics. That explain why we don't have fewer places with amerindian names in comparission with our central american neighborhoods and why we are the most developed country in Central America while we be the country with less colonial legacy and the worst treated by Spain. (this one not includes Panamá, that country were part of Great Colombia).

What about Brazil?

Indeed the 4th is Brazil, around 70% Euro.

Costa Rican national football team in 1990 and 2002. I think the images speak for themselves.

Costa Rica was never as white as Norway or Iceland, but back in the the 50's or 60's, Costa Rica was around 70% white (mostly Spaniards). These days, with massive unregulated immigration from Nicaragua, Costa Rican average citizen is around 35-45% white.
We were told that immigration was good and that we should welcome everyone, regardless of their background, with open arms. Sadly, when we realized we were lied to, it was too late. Costa Rica is destined to be on the level of Honduras or Nicaragua.
I hope Trump keeps the United States from becoming another Costa Rica or Argentina.

Yeah but Argentina’s problem is not with immigration. Yes, we have plenty of Bolivians, Paraguayans and Peruvians, but the US is much worse! It’s Argentina that could become like the US, and not the other way around.

Bolivian/Peruvian/Paraguayan immigrants and their descendants account for 10% of the population aproximately, concentrated in Buenos Aires (in “villas miseria” they make up almost 80% of the population) and to a lesser extent other big cities. The US, on the other hand, already has a 16% Hispanic population (mostly Mexican and Central American), 4% Asian and rapidly decreased its white population from almost 90% to 65% in a few decades. That’s sad!

I agree that we should halt immigration from certain countries and regulate it according to our own interests, though.

Costa Rica, on the other hand, looks very fucked up with Nicaraguan immigration. Contrary to Argentina, your population was very low (like when Argentina received Euro immigrants) and the impact was bigger. Plus, being a much smaller country the concentration of immigrants is bigger.

In Argentina, currently immigrants make up 4% of the population, while during the great wave of immigration from Europe, people born in Europe accounted for 30%. They made up 80% of the workforce in the Pampean area and Patagonia, so the impact of the current wave of immigraation is not that big compared the last one.

Nicaraguan inmigrants and descendants can be 20% of country's population. 400k legal, 400k ilegal, 10k of newborns(of 70k) per year since 2001. Also they have their ghettos as "villas" in Argentina called "tugurios" or "precarios". But the main difference is that they makeup 20% of population, they are in all Central Valley and race mixing is taking place. Also, in Argentina the large diaspora are paraguayos and some of them can reach in the harnizo range. Contrary to nicaraguan that are to the amerindian to zambo range. So they are having a high impact in demographics. The last thing to ad is that media is shooting us with a lot of propaganda and our current president is compared to Macron and Trodeau. Also, Costa Rica is agree with the Migration Pact of the ONU.

And i think that nicaraguan ghettos are more dangerous than "Villas" in Argentina or Campamentos in Chile. Take look at this.

Those ghettos seem to be very dangerous. It’s sad how Nicaraguan immigrants are rapidly changing the demographics of the country. I hope they can be eventually assimilated into the Costa Rican culture and the criminals (non-citizens) deported. But I guess political correctness must be very prevalent and there probably aren’t politicians willing to take the necessary measures. It’s not only a Costa Rica thing, though.
