I’ve noticed Costa Rica defines white and black in a different way that what I’ve encountered in the U.S. That complicates your question but either way I think Argentina has way more whites than Costa Rica

Yes makes sense. Also i know they dont have a huge white population in comparison to uruaguy. I mean because they are right beside honduras and El salvador which have a much higher rate of african and native americans
