What nations have a large amount of Miscegenation (mixing of races; interracial relationships)? (living, rated)

[zacatecana]

All of the Latin American countries are a mixed race for the most part.
I vote Mexico to have the most mixing of races.

"Mexico alone is truly mestizo: it is the only nation in the hemisphere where religious and political-as well as racial-mestizaje took place."
Alan Riding, Distant Neighbors: A Portrait of the Mexicans (New York: Vintage, 2000), page 4.

Regardless of what you see in the U.S., I've heard the actual event of mixed couples having babies is small. I think I heard around 2% of White people in the country have kids with another race. It may be higher, but it's definitely still taboo in most people's minds.

Blacks and whites have high tensions in America and that doesn't stop us from procreating with each other

I see it so much in my circle of friends and family that it doesn't make me think twice. It's just people marrying other people and starting families.
However, I have relatives in the south who are surprised when they see mixed race couples. I guess they don't see it so much where they come from.

You would be very surprised. The number of mixed race people in SA (9% of the population) is almost as much as the white population (11%). In spite of the country's history, violent racial tensions and the laws in the books aimed at keeping the races separate, inter-racial relationships were not as uncommon as one would think.

Brazil, Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Panama, etc...most places throughout the Americas...but much less in Canada and U.S., although they are changing quite a bit as well. Even in the U.S., there has been a lot of racial mixing, although nowhere near as much as everywhere south of the U.S.

Argentina and Chile seem to be exceptions however. For whatever reason, they seem to have an abstence of indigeneous population, and lacking mestizo as well...I don't know the history as to why. Same with Costa Rica. those three seem to be the Latin American exceptions.

Most everywhere else in the Americas is VERY MIXED. I think in U.S. & Canada, it would be California being the most mixed by far....but I think its changing throughout the continent with this generation being more open to interracial marriage, etc. Although nowhere near as open as everywhere south of the U.S. border.
