most mexicans are not caucasian, threre are mestizo (Amerindian-Spanish) 60%, Amerindian or predominantly Amerindian 30%, white 9%, other 1% .
but the population of Argentina is heavily made up of inhabitants of a white European background 97% , the largest being Italians and Spaniards.
and Uruguay is heavily populated by people of European origin, 94% of its population is of white European descent.
and 53.7% Brazilians are whites.
so how many totally caucasian people in south america?
that is what I studies from Wikipedia.com
and I don't understand why ''white'' American people think
most people from argentina,chile, uruguay and costa rica are not caucasian,and they don't even think people from Spain,Italy are caucasian.
you know lots of ''white''american have Native American blood,
but they said if you have a geart-geart-geart grandparent is not white then you are not white,why some ''white''american with little Native American blood still consider themselves
''white''

Great question. However, its true most Mexicans are mestizo's, there are also considerably a lot of creoles( mulatto's& mestizo mixture) research negroes in Mexico and you will see. Also, this racial supremacy ideas stem from colonialism stating that white is the greatest. Myself as a white person donot adhere to those archaic ideas. Italians and Spaniards(some) do have a mixture of black and Arabic(moor) ancestry, that is why some of them are dark skin in colour. the Moors did alot of conquering in Europe, that is England, Spain,Ireland and Eatern Europe(the most recent, ex.Albania. Look at the differences in thre Europeans.

"...but they said if you have a geart-geart-geart grandparent is not white then you are not white,why some ''white''american with little Native American blood still consider themselves
''white'' "

Well that's the opposite of what I hear today at least... People used to ignorantly go with the 'one drop' rule, kicking anyone out of the 'white club' who wasn't thought to be purely white.

While today I find that people often now don't want the smaller factions to even be acknowledged...it's like if I'm mostly white, then I'm white and should not even mention the native line (this coming from some Native people), which I find sad. I don't try to claim to be anything I'm not, it's not my place to get in on anything I don't belong in. I have to live the life I was born into...

But I'm not about to ignore the existence of ANY of my ancestors, because if you removed even just one of them, no matter how far back they go in generations, then you are no longer you and probably no longer even exist. No one should ignore their relatives who's genes helped in their existence, you wouldn't be alive without them.

If South usa = southern Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, and Southern Chile than in all probability you ought to assert that in basic terms approximately each and every person in South usa is white yet that isn't the case so South usa does not equivalent customarily white even in spite of the shown fact that there are a number of white people in South usa.
