FYI, I grew up in Latin American, although I am not Latin American. From Paraguay in the South to Mexico in the North, most Latinamerican countries are mostly inhabited by Indios and Mestizos. Colombia, Venezuela and Costa Rica have a strong Spanish (and other European) presence. Now the situation looks way different in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay where there are virtually no Indios left and most of the population are of European ancestry or are light-skinned Mestizos.

There was a lot of German immigration into some of the South American countries. My grandmother's next door neighbor for a lot of years was an ex-nazi who married a dougla woman. When I meet some folks from the Central American countries they are VERY insistant upon their 'purity' and others seem to have a more 'who cares' attitude.
