Does Bolivia or Peru have more pure Amerindians(%)?

[G.Tucker]

mestizos in Peru account for 60%. Bolivia's mestizo population is supposedly 68%, but other sources say the country is heavily populated by Quecha and Aymara peoples. Both of these countries are the most heavily amerindian-influenced in South America without a doubt, but I would say that Bolivia in terms of culture and genetics is far more amerindian than Peru.

My estimates of Bolivia: 20% pure Amerindian (no euro); 40% indo-mestizo, 28% mestizo (40+28=68); and white 5-10%

Peru 2017 census: 26% Amerindian (mostly Quechuas); 60% mestizo; 6% white; 3.6% black

How many of the 60% mestizo would you say are indo-mestizo? (Bolivia= 40/68= 59%, i.e. just over half of mestizo are indo-shifted).

Total Amerindian pop of Bolivia= 20+40=60%

Total Amerindian pop of Peru= 26+?

So all this means: 20% pure Amerindian (no euro); 40% indo-mestizo, 28% mestizo (40+28=68); and white 5-10%?

I would say this is about accurate for Peru (I know Peru pretty well, I lived there for 6 years). Not sure about Bolivia. I personally think Bolvia is more amerindian than Peru, but I am not sure.

Imho southern Peru is very similar to Bolivia both racially and culturally (Puno, Cusco, etc.), while northern Peru is more like Ecuador.

How does Lima compare to the rest of the country?

Lima depends a lot on the neighborhood. Poor areas are very indigenous, while the upper middle class areas are VERY European. Overall, I would say it is definitely less indigenous than many of the southern cities and maybe slightly less European than some of the northern cities (Trujillo, Piura, etc).

The northern part of Peru is where more people self-identify as white, while in many parts of the south almost nobody does:

Neither, white and blacks together only make up 10% of the population.

Peruvians aren't an ethnicity LOL.

Lmao, you know what I meant, mestizos and indomestizos.

[Erronkari]

G. Tucker, judging the DNA tests Bolivia is super amerindian influenced....






I think that Perú is more Euro than this.
In Lima I saw that mestizos 50/50 and indomestizos were practically on pair and more than people with 100% amerindian looking.
Apart that in Miraflores, Lince and other wealthy neightbours harnizos, castizos and even whites are numerous, apart of many East asian descendants and finally some afro-peruvians in places like Rimac or La Victoria.
Bolivia don't has such diversity.

[G.Tucker]

Yes, I find very accurate, bro!!

A bit off topic but is it easier to pass as White in Brasil compared to Hispanic countries since they only use black, brown (pardo) and white?

Most castizos (maybe harnizos) would be white in Brasil, no?

If we exclude Cuba, Argentina and Uruguay, absolutely.
Because in many brazilian cities there are many +90% Euro by genetics in all the social-ecomomic classes.
