Aren't Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay overwhelmingly White (80-90%+)?

Latin American census data is very misleading because it's based on self-identification. These numbers reflect perceived skin color a lot more than they reflect race. Chile is majority light-skinned mestizo and Argentina is mostly castizo. Same for Paraguay, where barely any Whites live at all except for White Brazilian settlers and German Mennonites.
