Peru, his mother's homeland, has a microscopic creole presence, and a mestizo fraction of proportions I don't recall .... it isn't large. Most of Peru is mestizo or pureblooded Andean Indian, indio in Spanish. Zimmermann looks like a Peruvian Indian, and even his complexion is considerably darker than shown on TV earlier this month. When he appeared in new video in a well-lit courtroom, I was surprised at how "bruce" his overall coloration is. He really does look indio.
