Ok, then a pure Caucasian from Argentina is not gonna look different from a pure Caucasian from Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Mexico, etc etc.

The point is, it's not like Asia where groups have been there for thousands or years. The Koreans adapted and have their look, which is different from Cambodians, who look different from Indians, etc.

Yea, its true countries in the New World don't have a look. There is no 'American look'. But certain races do make up the majority of these New World countries.Countries near the middle Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean are more African influenced, even the Latin American countries, Cuba, DR, and PR are far more Afro influenced than the rest of Latin America. Also, which US states have the highest percentage of blacks, the South, states that border the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of mexico.
While, you go to the Pacific ocean, and it gets more native influenced.
They got different cultures as well, for example Puerto Rican culture is similar to Dominican, and Cuban culture, but NOTHING like Mexican culture. The only similarlity is the Spanish language, and even there they have different dialects. PR spanish is almost comparable to urban American english, while Mexican spanish is comparable to Hillbilly American english.

Though, the only 2 countries I would say are REALLY hard to tell apart are Americans and Canadians. Very similar culture.Toronto almost feels like a weird combination of Boston and Chicago.

Yes they are mostly white. 50% are Italian descendants while the rest are Spanish and German descendants.

Well yeah, and so is English, Irish and Scottish. Not to most people, though, and they're culturally so similar.
