I wrote the wrong term, probabily. I meant another concept.

Since this latinamerican section was opened, I knew that everybody would discuss which is the whitest latinamerican country.

It is clear that by percentage Uruguay is the whitest, and Brazil has the biggest amount of whites.

But in my opinion is better and ,more interesting to know which are whitest regions of latinamerican countries. Which is the whitest region, village,etc of Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia,Peru, Mexico, Honduras, Paraguay , Chile , etc?.

Are there any Portuguese there? I have 5 matches, and one is a big match - 17.6cm.

It is possible, because Uruguay was part of the Brazilian Empire.

Fidel and his brother raul say that in cuba there aren't amerindians but there i've seen a lot of mestizos like alexis "el panchiniño maravilla" sanchez

Many rural "white" cubans show clear taino or amerindian admixture. Whitest cuban areas are west and central areas outside from La Habana, and Holguin province, and most of them are "white" rural poor people who have been in Cuba for 200-300 years. Although predominantly european, many of them shows amerindian ,black, or canarian admixture who makes them a bit exotic in Spain. 50% of the rural "white" cubans could fit perfectly in Spain, but other 50% have features which make them exotic.
