Stay misinformed. It is obviously your right to do so. Most Americans are White. Is America a White country? Are there no Black Americans or Black Americans of mixed racial ancestry?
There are people of African ancestry in Argentina. There are communities of Afro-Argentines who have not fully assimilated and intermixed with those of European ancestry. There is also rarely discussed Afro-Argentine de facto 'genocide'.
Knowledge is power.

The rest of the world sees the US as being a "white" country cause most of us ARE white.
You are quite right that Argentineans are not nearly as white as the world thinks they are. In nearly every region the native dna reaches between 10-25% in various genetic studies that have been done.
The United States is not a "White" country. That my friend is a fact.
I don't think he was asserting that perception is reality. He said the world sees the U.S as being white, not that it is. Although, since the majority is white, I suppose it really depends on how you qualify what race a nation is.

Well if you add all of the White Mexicans to the total .. I believe White America is around 80%
My grandson is bi-racial. He tells people when asked, that he is white, when I asked him why once, he said it was because his dad walked out of his life and moved out of state to avoid child support enforcement. I explained to him he is bi-racial and someday people will recognize the term. He said but Grandma, you, grandpa, my mom and stepdad have raised me, my dad and his family have turned their backs to me, while both sides of mom's family have loved me and made me feel like I belong with them. They accept me for me.
He may feel that way, but we insist upon him saying he is bi-racial. We know his dad's family loves him, but he feels rejected by them.
There is no way scientifically to classify someone definitively to a particular race. There are no characteristics that all members of a race share that cannot be found outside their race.
You can classify someone to a phenotype. You could possibly find others with similar features, but the rest of their skull and how it all fits together is different.
