How white is Chile?

[Kamui]

Ehh I wouldn’t put to much emphasis on solar radiation, the last skin tone map I saw did and according to it Peruvians are the same skin tone as South Sudanese people lmfao

Amerindian peruvians have less time in those places than south sudanese people. Inuits and siberians(where amerindians come from) are much more lighter.

Por sobre el 70% de los chilenos son blancos (al menos en Santiago). Esto definiendo el término blanco como se define mayormente en habla hispana. Ahora, entrando en el extraño concepto de “blanco” que muchos manejan acá, donde se utiliza el nombre de un color para describir rasgos (y a todo aspecto europeoide le llaman “blanco”, aunque sea más moreno que el asfalto) diría que aprox. un 40% de los chilenos tienen altas probabilidades de que en un experimento sociológico bien ejecutado pasen fisonómicamente desapercibidos en al menos un país de Europa, un 25% aprox. pasando bien (típicos) y un 15% aprox. pasando relativamente (exóticos).

I visited Chile and it felt like I was in Spain. People look quite Spanish with a lot of beautiful tanned girls.

Northern European appearances are mostly found in the upper class and to a lesser extent in middle class.
Here is study that shows Santiago chile neighborhoods by european admixture. One neighborhood is 80% euro which is high.

Idk man but for people who haven't seen that many mestizos it can hard to tell a castizos 70-85 european admixture apart from a white. Even some harnizos too who are 60-70% European
Edited the map also includes some places from Chile

I would say this seems correct.

I used to live in Las Condes, I'm around 73% European and I'm pretty average there. My mum lives in Villarrica and about 48% seems right.

Lo Barnechea is a posh suburb in Santiago. Camarones is a tiny town in Northern Chile very close to Peru and Bolivia.

Molina is your classic rural town from Central Chile. Lautaro, Pitrufquén and Nueva Imperial are all in the nucleus of the Mapuche area. Temuco is the largest city in that area. Gorbea is the only outlier. We've got a Senator (Ena von Baer) who is from Gorbea and she is pretty German, so maybe there's a lot of German descendants there which may push up the average a bit compared to the comunas in the rest of the region.

If your going by the census that Chile is over 50% white then it is inaccurate. As a Chilean user named Costas who used to post here; said people with light skin identified as white in the census.

We don't get asked about that in the census, but I remember Latinobarómetro shows that over 50% of Chileans identify as white. However, white here = light skin. It's not seen as a race but rather as a skin colour.

Use me for example. I'm around 25% Indigenous on 23andMe, but my "skin colour" results on 23andMe itself are still this: https://imgur.com/Ry2GQPm

So there's many Chileans who are mixed but will still identify as white since their skin is light.

Which is the criteria of what is white?
If by white you mean full european genetically then, around 5% of chileans are white. Mainly german/brittish+spaniard.
If by white you mean phenotyplically, based in genetic studies around 35% look white(mainly iberian or east european) based in phenotype and genotype correlations. Basically most people start looking white at 70% of european admixture(some no, but they are outliers).

This proportions boost in Santiago which stores more european admixture than the overall country.

I am Chilean and I agree with you. Spot on, although I think the percentage of people who are "fully European" is probably under 5%.

That girl is haitian for sure... no doubt.

Those photos were taken in 2004 so you cannot for certain.

Spaniards according you

Chile's whiteness is overrated, Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil, respectively, are more European than Chile.

Anyway, most Latin American countries, regadless of whiteness, are disfunctional.
