The official racial information of the census doesn´t seem to be accurate:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezu...ropean_descent

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Venezuelan

The darkest parts of Venezuela are some few lowland coastal pockets, that are full of blacks and highly black admixed people, which include the easternmost part of Sucre state (Peninsula de Guiria), the Barlovento region (lowland coastal region in the east of Miranda state), the coastline of the states of Vargas (not so much in the cities of La Guaira, Macuto, Caraballeda and Catia La Mar, where the population is more varied) Aragua and Carabobo, the Aroa Valley (in the north of Yaracuy state) and the south eastern coasts of the Maracaibo lake, in Zulia state.

They Tuy Valley (in Miranda state) and the Callao Region (in the north east of Bolivar state) have also considerable SSA mixture, but not that high as in the aforementioned regions.

The lightest and more Euro/Euro mestizo region is the Venezuelan Andes (mainly Merida and Tachira states, and to a less extent Trujillo state) are mostly white/Euro-mestizo, and when you are in there you would feel about the same as if you were surrounded by Paraguayans or Chileans.

In the rest of the country (most of the territory) most people fall into a spectrum that includes triracials and mestizos in diverse proportions, with important white/castizo minorities, and important heavily black admixed minorities, but as I said, most people falling into a spectrum in-between those two extremes.

The SSA input in general decreases as you get farther away from the Caribbean coast, though.

Very interesting explanation!
But what is really interesting too, is that according many DNA samples Venezuela has a LOT of individuals 80/90% Euro, almost the 30% of the population, it's A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

I think that I fit in best with group 2.

Yeah, but that's based on individuals who have been tested, most of whom are people from middle to upper classes.

I wish that high percentage of Venezuelans were into that Euro range (to feel more racially identified with my country), but I doubt it is that high. Venezuelans in that range are perhaps somewhere between 10-15% of the Venezuelan population.

If we included individuals =+70% Euro, it is possible that they get close to 30% of the Venezuelan population. Yeah, that's more possible.

Anyway a country with that % of +70 Euro is really Euro influenced.
