What shocked me the most was El Salvador! There must have been a lot of mixing going on there if Uruguay has a larger population and Puerto Rico has a higher percentage of Natives than them. Either that or their census has a more stringent definition of who qualifies as Native.

Coming soon....European/Predominately white date.

[Argentano]

The Argentine number is wrong. You need to make this with genetic studies, not with self classification in census or estimations (like the argentine case)

[Costas]

Chilean Mestizos are like.. everyone

Also most people who identify as Native American in Chile aren't actually Native American, they're Mestizos

It's usually left-wing people some of them very European-looking who want to "make a point" and so they say they're Mapuche

Your list seems accurate except the native percentage, there is no way Bolivia has less native (percentage wise) than Peru, Mexico & Guatemala. I would say Bolivia would be #1, then it would be Guatemala, Peru, Mexico, Panama.
I've also always thought Colombia & Venezuelans native population is under counted also.

[Daven]

Umm okay.

[Hasien]

This thread was kinda dumb, the one drop rule doesn't apply to Latin America mixed ethnicities can't longer belong to a certain group unless you look super obvious.

Reminds me how some English media newspaper said that Brazil had 100 million blacks living In the country

[axel.aleman]

Para Panama las cifras de mestizos y indígenas es demasiado alta
Según estudios de gedmatch 30% de los panameños serían mestizos y 10 % indígenas (incluyendo Indomestizo)

I can't remembered your thread , but you did good job. How much Euro/Caucasoid Is the average Panamanian?

40-45% caucasoid, 35% Native, 15% SSA

[Michito76]

bolivia is 62% amerindian, 22% is totally ridiculous
peru is only 24% self-identified
ecuador is 40% approximately 7% is very low, obviously many Amerindians identified as mestizo.
Unless you say that in Chile, for example, there are more Amerindians than in Ecuador.
LOL

you have source about this?
