I think Seychelles and Mauritius takes the cake as well as Reunion, France. I think the average citizen in Reunion is triracial or 25% (one grandparent) or more of each race. Brazil is the only other country besides these core mentioned places were Ttiracial people make up a considerable amount of people in the country.
As long as you can prove that you have 1/8 of Hawaiian blood, you can apply for the Kamehameha School (school reserved exclusively for Native Hawaiians).
You can easily find someone in Hawaii who is 1/4 Hawaiian, 1/4 Chinese, 1/4 Portuguese and 1/4 Japanese.
Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Chile - Mestizo (purely a White European and Native American mix)
Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela - Tri-racial Mestizo (White European and Native American with a slight touch of Black African)
Paraguay also falls in the first category. Costa Rica in the second one.

Most people in those countries have European, African and Amerindian (Native American) ancestry at the same time.
more or less, not really. At least in Colombia, it depends on the region of the country, among other factors. In many areas of the country, a lot of people only has indigenous/Spanish ancestry; in some others, like the Pacific coast, you could find people with pure African ancestry. While in some areas of the Caribbean coast, you could find people with Spanish, African and Amerindian ancestors, but also Syrian-Lebanese, Italian, East Asian, etc.

You may know people with these mixes and I am pretty sure any country that is moderately western with at least 50 million people will have at least one of these mixes, not to take away from your comment but the U.S only has like 2% noticeably mixed people, and even if you expand to includes those 20% or more you may reach something like 30% of the population.
33,000,000 people were identified as multiracial given that option in the last census - this is still a recent identifier. The US has tons of names for bi-racial and tri-racial people depending on the state. The US has a more significant, genetically European plurality than some Latin American countries, but you're just mindlessly understating the extent to which the US is mixed - which is a lot. The comparisons to Australia, the UK, etc, are all made with the US, which shows people intrinsically misunderstand the extent to which the US is an ethno-racially mixed nation - much more akin to Brazil or Cuba than the UK or France.
And no, most western countries don't have significant diasporas of a majority of those national/ethnic groups, like the US does.
