Why is Chile significantly more european than Peru?

[Voskos]

I love both countries btw.

The good explanation to this is the previous high native density. In fact Peru received many spanish colonisers, more than countries like Colombia, Venezuela or Chile surely, because it was the center of the Viceroyalty.

You can even perceive this inside of the countries. In Mexico the center and specially the south, regions with developed-urbanised-agricultural civilizations, are much more amerindian than the north of the country, where the natives organised themselves in tribes and didn´t practised the agriculture; and most of spanish colonizers moved obviously to the center-south.

Other case are some bolivians regions-cities in the Altiplano, for example Potosí was a very important city thanks to its silver mines (the biggest in the world on history) and thousands of spanish moved to the city. Nowadays the city is very very heavily amerindian (I made some calculations some months ago and the criollos were less than 1%, a very marginal number), while the most european city in Bolivia by far is Santa Cruz de la Sierra, in a region where civilization didn´t developed before the spanish arrival.

There are differences within Peru as well. Southern Peru is VERY amerindian, especially cities like Puno and Cusco. Northern Peru (particularly the big northern cities like Trujillo) is still indomestizo on average I would say, but there is more European blood there as well as more Spanish influence in the culture.

I wonder why people keep mentioning Mexico it has nothing to do with amerindians but the reason Peru received less Spaniards. Mexico had a larger amerindian population in Mesoamerica yet Mexico still 50% European by autosomal. While outside of Lima Average European admixture is 0-30%

indomestizo is more than 75 Amerindian. minimum 60. no northern city exceeds 60% even according to the study you posted
Northern cities are close to the balanced mestizo, but since you are European, you may not know how to classify Latin phenotypes
Cajamarca, Trujillo, north is like 10-15 more European than Lima according to the CANDELA PROJECT.

the north is NOT indomestizo

Peru barely surpasses the 25% European ancestry, the North Is barely 40% Including the middle class.

Perú in average is like 25-30 euro
the north is around 40 euro.
Most Peruvians are middle class, why not include them? nor that it is a privileged minority. well

I think it's time to grow up, stop trolling and accept reality. On the other hand, there is a study about it.
so there is not much to say so it doesn't matter, leave your resentment with peru (or trauma). Be more reasonable than the other Chicano.
