Are you kidding me? 1/4 of Colombia is White and many other colombian mestizos look White and nearly white.

You do realize that "mestizo" is a blanket term kind of like "Black" is in the US, right? I have met and known people who are nearly 100% Native who have caled themselves mestizos while I've met many people who look White and mostly White who also call themselves mestizos. My point is that Cesar Chavez and Alicia Villarreal may both be "mestizos" but obviously one has a lot more Native ancestry than the other.

Yep, but the White looking Colombians don’t come in big numbers. Kind of what happens to White Puerto Ricans in the US. As I said the Amerindian/Caucasoid/Negroid admixture in Mestizos varies from place to place.
