And btw, not only because some people got killed, especially because we received a lot of immigrants from Spain & Italy during the World Wars and that's why most of us are white but yeah some got killed too during a big civil war...

you forgot the natives. most people in latin america are native-european mix. and it's because they don't understand latin americans are a regional/geographical identity, not a racial one.
yeah i know, my father's ancestors were from italy. but the history part is important because other latin american countries got heavy european immigration too like colombia, mexico and even puerto rico, but the native popular (and/or black population in the latin caribbeas) in those places was so big and survived so white people are the minority.
