... any country colonized by Spain will look like that. Cause, yk, they killed almost all the indigenous people. It's nothing special. You can also learn today that in all of the south hemisphere the seasons are "reversed". It isn't that the summers are cold, it's winter here and summer where you are, at the same time.

You need to do some backpacking!
Argentinians are indeed mostly European, because (1) there was almost no slavery there, (2) the country carried out a genocide against its indigenous population between about 1870 and 1890, and (3) it received massive numbers of European immigrants between about 1880 and 1930.
The average Chilean, on the other hand, has about a 44% indigenous admixture and a 55% European one, with 1%-2% African DNA.
Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay and much of Central America is even more indogenous than Chile.
The Dominican Republic's population is almost entirely of African descent.
And so on.
Latin America is tremendously heterogenous.

not necessarily. Peru was also colonised by Spain and they have way more indigenous traits than Uruguayans. Uruguay is the whitest country in Latin America, and if you go there you’ll see everyone looks just like Spaniards and Italians, due to the immigration Uruguay received from these countries.
