Great waves of Europeans (Caucasians) emigrated during the 1700's, 1800's, 1900's years to South America. There are a higher % of Caucasians in Argentina and Uruguay than in the USA. As a matter of fact most, Argentineans considerers USA a land of mostly dark people and I guess some American racist must be surprised! (Argentina has the fourth place of Irish emigration, the fourth place of Eastern Europe Jews, the second place of Italians, the third place of Germans emigration in the world.)
Mexico got it name from the Mexica People. The Aztecs??? Didn't anyone pay attention in class? Mexico was all indigenous cultures until the Spanish came along. Once that happened, as it did in America, all of your blue-eyed races were introduced. Of course, it's more than that...but, pure Indios Mexicanos don't have blue eyes!! I know that because I have dark hair and eyes just like my ancestors before me.
Only a small fraction of Caucasians are blueeyed or blonde...
In Spain, from 10 to 20 percent.
Blue eyes and blonde hair are not relevant traits in etnography.
The movie actor Anthony Quinn was born in northern Mexico, of Irish parents.
Irish father, Spanish-Mexican mother. Like Vicente Fox....
Mexican feminist author Elena Poniatowska has blonde hair and blue eyes ; she was born in Paris of a Polish-French father and a Spanish-Mexican mother (her mother's family were amongst the wealthy aristo types who fled when the 1910 revolution occurred...)
There are isolated places in India where what we call European features such as red hair exist. Once that owe nothing to the post 1600 movement of Europeans into India.
Chile is another place where 19th century waves of immigrants left a signficant population that looked like what we think of as Europeans (the point about most Europeans not having blond hair or blue eyes is well taken).
Just look at you local Spanish TV stations. Most of the actresses are blond and blue eyed.
Well, I doubt they are real blonds. Nit even in Swedish television you will see that many blonds.
