White Latin American - Populations

Populations

In terms of absolute numbers, the largest White population in Latin America is found in Brazil, with 95.3 million whites out of 191.9 million total Brazilians, or 49.7% of the total population. Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela contain the largest numbers of whites in Latin America. In terms of percentage of the total population, Argentina and Uruguay have the largest white populations, with roughly 90% of their respective populations being White. Depending on the definition of "Latin America", the smallest White population is either in Honduras, with only 1% White, approximately 75,000 people, or in Haiti. Guatemala's census groups both Whites and Mestizos (people of mixed White and Native American ancestry) in one category, so the exact percentage of White Guatemalans is undetermined.
