The Italians mass-migrators couldn't turn the Mestizo country into white (like you're suggesting). So how could a few Chileans and Paraguayans who are not much more native than the average Argentine would turn it into an Indio country?

Non-mixed white argentines are abot 20 million people, or 45-50% of the population...argentines have 2,0 as birthrate, paraguayos 3,0 and bolivians even higher.

What is the connection of our modern birthrate (1,5) with argentines?

I talked about old european immigration in Argentina, which was mainly from Italy, followed by Spain and Germany.

That it is not easy to change the genetic make up of the country just inviting immigrants. As far I know, Bolivians are not even invited.

Biggest influence in Argentina is still Spanish I think.

There was basically a mestizo majority immediately after the independence...so, in a unique case in all the american continent, the elite ruling class was mestiza/castiza, while many of the successive immigration waves were europeans, almost all low class immigrants.

The Gauchos (cowboys) f. ex, in Argentian, Uruguay and southern Brazil, and where else? What are they? What do they fit in? Are they white, mestizo or castizo?
