Arabs and Europeans were the ones who carved up Africa and other places around the globe without regards to ethnic boundaries, then they have issues with multiculturalism. #Irony

I want to say that the least extroverted people are the Peruvians and Bolivians. They are just like southern Mexicans who are also introverted and very traditional people. Some of them don't even wanna get a picture taken of them because they still have the belief that it will steal their soul.

I think overall, Mexico is more extroverted, then Peru, Then Bolivians because Mexico has the most Spanish / European influence and admixture of the three. Then Peru, then Bolivia

Whites and mestizos are the predominant groups and make up over the 90% the population.

Jews, Arabs (mostly Syrio-Lebanese descents) and Armenian descents are always considered White and were never hidden. Inside the diverse mestizo group there are mixed-race people with African ancestry. According to some genetical studies, the amount of people with African markers is about 2-4%, which turned to be a surprisingly high number, but phenotypically only a small fraction has traits (usually mixed) and few see themselves as Afro-argentines.

Then the next racial group after the two aforementioned would be the amerindian, including native peoples and full descendants. There are many in the northwest of the country, but I guess its number has increased a lot lately due to Bolivian and Peruvian immigration, who settled mostly in Buenos Aires.

Finally we must count African and Asian descendants. There were a good number of Korean and Japanese people who migrated to Argentina many years ago, whereas many Chinese people are still coming. This diaspora in particular is becoming certainly numerous and very visible. Still, Asians and their descendants don't count very much statistically. Then, black people in Argentina. There are mulattoes and full black-argentines who come from many generations in the country, but very few. More commonly, black people in Argentina are mostly very recent immigrants from other Latin American countries and West Africa (especially Senegal).

A group that seems to be very rare in Argentina is people from the Indian Subcontinent, which is kind of strange considering all the diverse immigration.
Contrary to popular belief, Jew and Arab are NOT mutually exclusive:

Isabel Preysler was a dazzling beauty in her young yesteryears. I could just devour her lol.

Anyway, she looks like she is majority of European ancestry, and so do her parents. I don't know why people have a hard time accepting the racial mixture and beautiful diversity of the Philippines, and it's rich strong heritage and connections through and via Spain.
