      This is quite misleading, as many people with like 80% native genetic material identify as Mestizo.
      Edit: look I am not saying that people who are genetically native are culturally indigenous, what I mean is that mestizo and native people sometimes have vastly different genetics then their identity would suggest.

      It’s not just about cultural versus genetic identity as many are commenting. Self-identity is more adaptive / strategic. People identify as whatever works best for them (that they can plausibly claim). Being a proud Indigenous person is, apparently, not advantageous for many people in south America (regardless of their genetic and even cultural heritage).

      Paraguay being labeled as only 2% native yet having so many people speak the native language Guarani is surprising

      True fully native ancestry in Ecuador is around 35%, btw. Mainly in the Central-Northern Andes (from Azogues to Ibarra).

      I live in the US. My partner’s family is Mexican American, they have dark skin, dark eyes, and thick, straight black hair. If you threw any of them in the right outfit most of them would probably look like a textbook example of a native American stereotype. But, if you press any of them on it, they’ll insist that they’re just white/Spanish.

      At the same time, like 75% of people I’ve met in the US who claim to be native American, even those who have the paperwork to prove it and have some affiliation with a tribe, just kinda look like any other white person.

      It’s weird and idk what else to say about it.
