White is the self-identification of many Latin Americans in some national censuses. Ĭomposing from 33% of the population as of 2010, according to some sources, White Latin Americans constitute the second largest racial- ethnic group after mixed race people in the region. Most immigrants who settled the region for the past five centuries were Spanish and Portuguese after independence, the most numerous non- Iberian immigrants were French, Italians, and Germans, followed by other Europeans as well as West Asians (such as Levantine Arabs and Armenians). ĭirect descendants of European settlers who arrived in the Americas during the colonial and post-colonial periods can be found throughout Latin America. Latin American countries have often tolerated interethnic marriage since the beginning of the colonial period.
