AHC: Stirring the Pot

How do you get a country where the majority is of mixed race?
I mean, South Africa is close, but is it possible to make it even more integrated?
The Mission, which will self destruct ten seconds after this had been read, is to create a Mixed Race Majority Country.
Bonus if you make a little timeline.

Already done in Latin America.

Brazil is already really close to that, though it had major structural racism for a long time (and probably some still linguiring). Paraguay is even bilingual officially with Spanish and Guarani. So, Latin America is a good candidate. Any TL in which Brazil is wanked probably fits your criteria... especially when they fulfill the fun cliche of taking over Angola :cool:

South Africa isn't close, the mixed race population makes up less than 10% of the population.
 
Yeah.. Latin America. Weren't most of the colonists from Spain men anyway? At least in the first century of its colonial empire?

They did a genetic survey in Colombia and found that nearly every Colombian had Y-chromosome DNA identical to types found in southern Spain and mitochondrial DNA identical to types found in Colombia's surviving Indian populations.

Maverick's map is pretty illustrative, with the caveat that Brazil is majority African or Euro-African descent (like the Caribbean, because of the plantation economy) and Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina are majority white because they were settled later and had lower Indian populations to start with.
 
Venezuela also fits the criterion.
But it depends upon what you define as a "race". My (weak) understanding of the thing is that the American perceptions about this matters somewhat differs significantly from those current in other places.
That's to say, I see "races" as more cultural constructs than genotype or fenotype realities, that of course still exist.
I was struck by that while reading "The Human Stain" by Philip Roth. The situation described there is something i think is difficult to even conceive in present-day Europe or elsewhere.
By the way, this might change: growing racism in Europe IS a problem, and not a small one.
